INTER-GROUP INFORMATION<br />
EDITO<br />
Since the return in September from the summer break, our<br />
group has been given a new name - Everspeed. Our new identity<br />
reflects our determination to give fresh impetus to our group<br />
and to highlight all the values that have forged its strength.<br />
We have decided to organize our activities around four<br />
core centres to showcase the specificity and diversity of our<br />
knowhow as well as combining them with our expertise.<br />
Everspeed Learning<br />
We know how vital it is to work with the right tools and with<br />
competent staff in any activity, in particular in such specific<br />
technological industries as the motor car and aeronautics. This<br />
is why we have created this department to focus us on supplying<br />
personalised tailored-made training through Ecodime,<br />
Ecodime Italia & TCA and Mind Values.<br />
Everspeed Composites<br />
For Everspeed, the activity linked to composites provides a<br />
showcase for cutting-edge technology, which enables the<br />
group to position itself on a worldwide market that is undergoing<br />
constant expansion. Our expertise and our reputation<br />
are based on very experienced staff and the high-quality offers<br />
from HP Composites.<br />
Everspeed Connection<br />
Our companies are active in a universe associating technology,<br />
innovation, expertise and passion. Thanks to adapted<br />
services and the right technological tools, DPPI images and<br />
Sportagraph broadcast and share awe-inspiring human and<br />
sporting adventures, including motor sport, through their<br />
images.<br />
Over the weeks, months and years to come we will work together<br />
to create even more interactions and synergies between<br />
our different companies. Our future development will aim at<br />
providing increasingly greater satisfaction for our clients.<br />
Internal and external communications tools will be set up. The<br />
inaugural issue of <strong>Evernews</strong> is a first step. It is aimed at all the<br />
staff in the Everspeed companies to present to you and share<br />
with you the projects in which we are involved.<br />
In the coming issues we will include portraits, interviews and<br />
site visits to help us to get to know one another even better.<br />
Enjoy your read!<br />

This is perhaps the department which seems to be the most<br />
exciting as it combines the activities of the group specialised in<br />
motor sport and motorised leisure activities. This doesn’t mean<br />
that it is any less serious and demanding; quite the opposite<br />
in fact as proved by Onroak Automotive, Mygale, AOTech,<br />
OAK Racing, Marcassus Sport, Les 2 Arbres and most recently,<br />
Sodemo.<br />

TRAINING, AN ESS<strong>EN</strong>TIAL BASE<br />
Any company that wants to be successful, in particular in the<br />
industrial sectors, needs qualified specialised staff. Several car<br />
manufacturers call on our services, especially during this period<br />
in which many new models are being launched.<br />
The Ecodime Client Relations Department team was involved<br />
in the Paris Motor Show on the Hyundai Motor France stand.<br />
Backing up the manufacturer’s sales teams and hosts and hostesses,<br />
Ecodime’s mission was welcoming visitors and convincing<br />
prospects as well as the tricky task of dealing with dissatisfied<br />
clients on the stand.<br />
Mind Values also gave a<br />
Hosts and Hostesses training<br />
course for the Citroën and DS<br />
stand placing the emphasis<br />
on interactive and participative<br />
teaching by digitising the<br />
contents.<br />
SOLIDARITY<br />
Following the earthquake in the centre of Italy at the<br />
end of August, HP Composites and Ecodime Italy<br />
decided to help the inhabitants of the disaster zone<br />
who had lost family or their house. A new training<br />
programme specialised in composite jobs was set up.<br />
Since 17th October it has welcomed 21 people affected<br />
by this disaster.<br />
LAUNCH: THE LIGIER JS P217<br />
ELECTRICITY BRINGS US TOGETHER<br />
In the car sector, whether in the field of the everyday vehicle<br />
or in racing, electricity is at the core of numerous projects.<br />
Everspeed is also involved.<br />
New body panels for the 2017 Formula E Championship have<br />
been produced by HP Composites. The Italian company is the<br />
sole supplier for all the bodywork and its on-going success<br />
represents a renewal of confidence in the firm’s competences.<br />
Onroak Automotive is one of the four constructors chosen<br />
by the ACO, FIA and IMSA to build LM P2 sports prototypes<br />
complying with the new regulations coming into force<br />
in 2017. On 23rd September we were the first constructor to<br />
unveil our brand-new car at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit.<br />
As has been the case for all its sports prototypes, Onroak<br />
Automotive works in close collaboration with HP Composites<br />
for the production of the monocoque and all the parts<br />
in carbon and composite materials.<br />
AOTech is also involved in the development project of the new<br />
Formula Es. Spark, constructor of the Formula Es mandated<br />
by the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile), has<br />
decided to work with AOTech on the design of the new car<br />
that will race in 2017. Charles Leclerc, a young driver competing<br />
in the GP3 Series Championship with ART Grand Prix,<br />
was selected to do two days’ work on the AOTech simulator<br />
helped by the on-site engineers and the development team of<br />
the new electric single-seater.<br />
Hardly had the assembly of the Ligier JS P217 been completed<br />
when a team from the DPPI images agency went to the<br />
Le Mans workshops for a long photo session, after which<br />
they joined the development team at the Magny-Cours circuit<br />
to make the film of the launch, which you can view on<br />
www.onroak.com and on the Onroak Automotive YouTube<br />
channel.<br />

60<br />
While the sales of the Ligier JS P217 are starting to firm up as<br />
the weeks roll by, the Ligier JS P3 continues to attract buyers<br />
as has been the case for more than a year now. The 60th<br />
order was confirmed in October! This success is due to its attractive<br />
price (206.000 euros - tax not included – ready to<br />
drive), for a racing car which is easy to run and provides topclass<br />
driving comfort and performance already confirmed by<br />
several titles and wins. The Ligier’s colours and through them<br />
Onroak Automotive’s and Everspeed’s know-how will shine<br />
throughout the world in 2017!<br />
THE MADE-IN-MAGNY-COURS QUALITY SELLS ABROAD!<br />
Our knowhow, and in this particular case Mygale’s, attracts<br />
overseas customers yet again!<br />
Thirteen single-seaters destined for the Racing Centre Experience<br />
in the Circuit of The Americas (CoTA) have left the<br />
Mygale workshops. Powered by Ford Sodemo engines they<br />
were tested on the Magny-Cours circuit in mid-October before<br />
being loaded into a container and shipped to Texas.<br />
A promoter based in Denmark has also ordered 13 Formula<br />
4 Mygales. Additional orders may follow as a Scandinavian<br />
Formula 4 Championship project exists with races in Denmark,<br />
Norway and Sweden.<br />
250<br />
Twenty-eight employees from HP Composites discovered the<br />
magnificent Monza circuit at more than 250 km/h at the beginning<br />
of October. To thank them for their devotion to the<br />
Ligier JS P217 project, each of them did three laps of the legendary<br />
Italian track as a passenger in the Ligier JS P3 driven<br />
by Jacques Nicolet himself!<br />
EXHIBITION<br />
LOTUS<br />
As was the case in 2015 Marcussus Sport is still the world leader<br />
in terms of sales of new Lotuses. In the latest sales figures<br />
published at the end of September the Toulouse-based concessionaire<br />
beat the historic English dealer, Bell & Colvill. This<br />
result is a fitting reward for more than 20 years of experience<br />
at the service of the passion for the motor car.<br />
From 20th October 2016 to the end of January 2017 at the<br />
request of Mercedes, DPPI images is showing a selection of<br />
photos in the Mercedes-Benz Fascination Centre in Brussels<br />
retracing the history of the make with the three-pointed star<br />
badge in racing in the past few decades.<br />
A limited selection of enlarged prints of this collection can<br />
be ordered from the site dppi-images.com under the heading<br />
“Collection.”<br />
