Endurance racers are no strangers to speed. For hours on end, these masters of distance negotiate every straight and turn at speeds of up to 300 kilometres per hour, one unforgiving second at a time. From the Rolex 24 At DAYTONA to the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 12 Hours of Sebring, as well as many more gruelling challenges, endurance racing is a discipline in which unyielding stamina and indomitable spirit hit the road.

Rolex’s close ties with motor sport date back to Sir Malcolm Campbell’s multiple World Land Speed Records in the 1930s when he became the first driver to break the 300 mph barrier (483 km/h) at the wheel of Bluebird. Since then, Rolex’s presence in motor racing has grown steadily, its support extending to revered endurance events such as the Rolex 24 At DAYTONA and those that comprise the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), including the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The brand also partners the sport’s most esteemed figures, including Formula 1® legend Sir Jackie Stewart, who joined the family of Testimonees almost 60 years ago, Tom Kristensen, the record nine-time winner at Le Mans, and Mark Webber, the multiple Formula 1® race winner and 2015 FIA World Endurance Champion. Further, the brand has a global appreciation for classic automotive events steeped in elegance, beauty and tradition, including the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance®, The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion and the Goodwood Revival. #Rolex #Reachforthecrown
