An historic thread, nice idea!
Wilbur Wright came in France at Le Mans in 1908 with a Flyer 'Model A' and made the first flight on 8th of August 1908. To commemorate this 100 year old event, a replica of this aircraft was build and it was presented in june at Le Mans a few hours before the famous 24 hours race (I was there! :jump: )

But Le Mans, it's not only racing cars :d
