Blancpain tames the legendary Hungaroring !

L-EVOLUTION, “Super Trofeo” Flyback Chronograph, date and small seconds, black carbon fibre dia

Budapest’s famous Hungaroring experienced an exceptional weekend with the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo and Le Mans Serie competitions. The 4,380 metres and 14 bends of the circuit witnessed an incessant struggle between seasoned drivers such as Jean Alesi, Giancarlo Fisichella and Olivier Panis, providing a spectacular show for the many devotees of motor sports in attendance.

The Blancpain Reiter Engineering team, composed of Marc A. Hayek, President and CEO of Blancpain, and racing champion Peter Kox of The Netherlands, once again proved its excellent aptitudes by achieving convincing results throughout this fifth leg of the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo. Constantly seeking to improve their performances and make the necessary adjustments to their Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4, Marc A. Hayek and Peter Kox are continuing to progress and to establish themselves as one of the most effective pairs in the championship.

In order to underscore its commitment to motor racing, Blancpain has developed an exceptional model dedicated to the world of mechanical passion. Presented in a titanium case, the L-evolution Super Trofeo 2010 features a dial and lugs entirely made from carbon fibre. This flyback chronograph model is distinguished by its appliques symbolising the tail-lights of the Lamborghini Gallardo, its oscillating rotor shaped like a double chequered flag, and last but not least by the alcantara strap subtly evoking the upholstery of these prestigious cars.
