INTER-GROUP INFORMATION
EDITO
Since the return in September from the summer break, our
group has been given a new name - Everspeed. Our new identity
reflects our determination to give fresh impetus to our group
and to highlight all the values that have forged its strength.
We have decided to organize our activities around four
core centres to showcase the specificity and diversity of our
knowhow as well as combining them with our expertise.
Everspeed Learning
We know how vital it is to work with the right tools and with
competent staff in any activity, in particular in such specific
technological industries as the motor car and aeronautics. This
is why we have created this department to focus us on supplying
personalised tailored-made training through Ecodime,
Ecodime Italia & TCA and Mind Values.
Everspeed Composites
For Everspeed, the activity linked to composites provides a
showcase for cutting-edge technology, which enables the
group to position itself on a worldwide market that is undergoing
constant expansion. Our expertise and our reputation
are based on very experienced staff and the high-quality offers
from HP Composites.
Everspeed Connection
Our companies are active in a universe associating technology,
innovation, expertise and passion. Thanks to adapted
services and the right technological tools, DPPI images and
Sportagraph broadcast and share awe-inspiring human and
sporting adventures, including motor sport, through their
images.
Over the weeks, months and years to come we will work together
to create even more interactions and synergies between
our different companies. Our future development will aim at
providing increasingly greater satisfaction for our clients.
Internal and external communications tools will be set up. The
inaugural issue of Evernews is a first step. It is aimed at all the
staff in the Everspeed companies to present to you and share
with you the projects in which we are involved.
In the coming issues we will include portraits, interviews and
site visits to help us to get to know one another even better.
Enjoy your read!
Everspeed Motorsport
This is perhaps the department which seems to be the most
exciting as it combines the activities of the group specialised in
motor sport and motorised leisure activities. This doesn’t mean
that it is any less serious and demanding; quite the opposite
in fact as proved by Onroak Automotive, Mygale, AOTech,
OAK Racing, Marcassus Sport, Les 2 Arbres and most recently,
Sodemo.

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

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