Charmant Z on the fast track

Charmant recently used the French Labre Competition motorsport team's racing exploits to promote its new Charmant Z sunglass collection.

The manufacturer sponsored a Corvette C6.R run by the French outfit, and a selection of opticians were treated to corporate hospitality at a six-hour endurance race at Silverstone on September 11. Richard Pointer, Jonathan Pilbeam and Peter Rockett all got the chance to speak to the team and see the Corvette close-up before the race.

The new Charmant Z sunglasses have motorsport DNA, as they feature carbon fibre sections produced by Dome Carbon Magic in Japan, which produces carbon fibre parts for race cars around the world.
