Description

The “PILOTE 1963 or 1964” armband is an official identification item used at motorsport events, such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans or similar European races that year. These armbands were worn by drivers (pilote in French) to designate their role and grant access to restricted areas such as the paddock, pit lane, or timing stands. While it might have been for the 1963 or 1964 Le Mans races, we are not sure.
