Epoqu'Auto: A Must-Attend Event for Automotive Enthusiasts
Every year in Lyon, the Epoqu'Auto Show brings together collectors, professionals, and enthusiasts of classic cars and motorsport. More than just an exhibition, Epoqu'Auto celebrates automotive heritage, from vintage vehicles to iconic racing machines. The event also features demonstrations, legendary car displays, and entertainment dedicated to automotive culture as a whole.

For the occasion, LP Simu developed an ultra-realistic Formula 1 simulator, allowing visitors to step into the shoes of a professional driver. Thanks to cutting-edge technology, participants experienced the adrenaline of driving on a Formula 1 circuit as if they were truly behind the wheel.
Throughout the event, the LP Simu team hosted and supervised the simulation sessions, guiding participants and helping them improve their lap times. A competition was organized around a fastest lap challenge: the best lap time recorded over the three-day event earned the winner an exclusive Formula 4 driving experience with the prestigious Winfield Racing School, renowned for training future professional drivers.
The Visit of Olivier Panis, French Motorsport Legend
One of the highlights of the event was the visit of Olivier Panis, former French Formula 1 driver and winner of the 1996 Monaco Grand Prix. Panis, who left a lasting mark on French motorsport and enjoyed a remarkable F1 career throughout the 1990s, remains a passionate ambassador for racing in France. During his visit to the LP SIMU stand, he took the time to test the simulator and shared his thoughts with the team:
"I was amazed by the realism — the feedback and sensations are simply perfect, it genuinely feels like you're there. I could spend the whole day on it!"
