Chassis:
The only GT-One built in 1999, this was the seventh and final example constructed. It was entrusted to the #1 squad of Martin Brundle, Emmanuel Collard and Vincenzo Sospiri, who dominated the official test. They followed up with a pole position, a full seven seconds faster than the quickest qualifying time of a GT-One a year earlier. The #1 car looked set to convert the domination in a victory until a puncture in the final hour robbed the team of the victory. Not used again, chassis LM907 was returned to full running order and was driven up the hill at the 2013 Festival of Speed. It was subsequently sold to a French collector and first demonstrated at the 2018 Le Mans Classic. The only privately owned GT-One has since joined another prominent French collection and raced at the 2023 Le Mans Classic by the owner himself.
