Programme Highlights

Winning Le Mans 24H with an electric car is a huge challenge, both technically and commercially. Nicolas will present the design of the car, explain the current limitations associated with battery technology and future developments required to go and race at Le Mans in the near future. He will explain how he is planning to grow Project 424 on the internet as a global development program in order to gather the necessary resources and talents.
