From single-seater to endurance, including Rally-raid, GT or Rally, ORECA has shone on all terrains. A revealer of talents, the team led by Hugues de Chaunac has worked with the greatest and over forty years has forged an exceptional track record.

The first chapters of History are written in Magny-Cours…

Hugues de Chaunac created ORECA (Organization Exploitation Competition Automobile) at the end of 1972 and set up shop near the Magny-Cours circuit. After its first victories, in 1973 in the French F3 Championship, the team obtained its first prestigious title just three years after its debut: Jacques Laffite was crowned European Formula 2 Champion. It was the start of a formidable epic. sporting for the company, which would reveal a large number of talented young drivers in the following years, including René Arnoux, Didier Pironi or the one who would later become a quadruple Formula 1 World Champion, Alain Prost.

Very quickly, in parallel with these countless successes in single-seater, ORECA saw the need to diversify and in 1977, it made its first appearance at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with an Alpine. A real passion for this legendary event was born that year, to the point of making it a major axis of industrial development for the Group since the 2000s.

New base, new challenges!

In 1987, Hugues de Chaunac and ORECA moved to Signes, in the Var, near the Circuit Paul Ricard. Experiences in different disciplines are multiplying. After the touring races, the company shines successfully on all terrains (Rally, Rallycross, Rally Raids) by operating programs on behalf of major manufacturers.

While the growth of the ORECA Group continued, in particular with the distribution of accessories and competition equipment, the beginning of the 90s was marked by a major victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans (1991) with Mazda, the leading manufacturer. Japanese to win in the Sarthe! With BMW, the following years will allow us to accumulate new victories in Supertourism but also on a slippery ground, that of ice racing!

The Le Mans challenge

After this chapter with the German manufacturer, a new one opens with… Chrysler this time, in endurance. Scheduled to win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the legendary Viper GTS-R will allow the French team to fly over GT endurance until the early 2000s, securing several consecutive titles at Le Mans and in the World Championship between 1997 and 2000 and even an overall victory at the 24 Hours of Daytona last year!

Following this historic page in its history, ORECA decided to equip itself with its engine department by buying SNBE in 2004, not without having granted itself in the meantime a remarkable comeback on the world rally scene with Renault, translated by several crowns. Other important stages in the development of the group will follow. If the Var team aligns cars from major manufacturers with brilliance by garnering victories and titles with Audi, Saleen or Peugeot 908 (including a resounding victory at the 12 Hours of Sebring in 2011) but also Seat in Tourism, it ends after the acquisition of Courage in 2007 by embarking on the construction of its own Le Mans prototypes, which it will align at the end of the 2000s and which it will market at the beginning of the following decade.

But for a group of ORECA's stature, there is no question of abandoning what has always been its strength: diversification. A major player in the construction of endurance prototypes, ORECA continues to provide its sporting expertise on various fronts. Operational support for Toyota since its return to endurance racing in 2012, the team has also returned to rallying in recent years by operating the Junior WRC program on behalf of the Japanese manufacturer. With the same leitmotif that has animated it since its beginnings: to win!
