Vitesse au Sol (meaning Speed Over Ground) is a private members' society operated by Société de la Vitesse. The members of the Vitesse community share a certain joie de vivre and a corresponding raison d'être. We embrace a passion for the motoring-oriented lifestyle, including automobiles, aircraft and motorcycles. Our name is taken from the traditional display on french aircraft speedometers showing the "Speed over Ground".
Ours is not a race between men;
it is between mankind and nature.
We place a strong emphasis on the panache and gentlemanliness of our members. Our board of advisors has full discretion to hand-pick all membership offers.
Vitesse hosts private events including the annual race event at an undisclosed location in Monaco directly following the Grand Prix. Vitesse connects at other events including the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy Motorcycle Race held since 1907, 24 Hours of Le Mans, aerobatic competition events of the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale such as the World Sailplane Grand Prix and Red Bull Air Races, classic car races and rallies such as the Passione Engadina, Mille Miglia and shows like the Concours d'Elegance at Villa d'Este in Cernobbio.
