A. Lange & Söhne CEO Wilhelm Schmid said of the partnership: “Sadly, the current situation does not allow us to get together and admire the beauty of classic cars with fellow enthusiasts. Many cars are currently hidden away in garages instead of being showcased. As the official Timing Partner of Concours Virtual, we are happy to make the cars accessible to a much wider audience and to raise money for UNICEF at the same time.”
