pigiron Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 After spending the last two years traveing France whilst competing in the Championat de France de la Montagne I have met a surprising number of fellow expat petrol heads who have expressed an interest in getting involved in French motor sport. It has occoured to me that there could be enough of us to form some sort of motor club or just an informal group of like minded people with a view to sharing information and even the occasional get together or track day etc??If you are intersted in competing, marshaling or are simply curious then get in touch.

Dotty0 Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 JohnWe moved to France in the summer and live in dept 79. My husband is a race engineer. The team he works for is based in the UK but for the past two years have participated in the French endurnce series of VdeV. This has taken them to many of he great circuits in France. This year they maybe returning to compete in the UK so hubby is there alot of the time. France is fantastic for motorspor of all kinds. My kids love the fact we have a handful of kart circuits within a 30 mile radius. Gets a bit hectic in the season, but its so ecconomical compared with the UK and so laid back. As with all motorsport here. Its not unusal to be at a track day, have a spot of lunch (three courses) and half a bottle of wine, then return to the track in the afternoon and nobody seems to mind. Just like being at Brands, me thinks not.Good luck with whatever you hope to acheive.Dotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooperlola Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Pigiron. Sorry I have only just read this one. Try Club Arnarge, a UK site but with quite a few France-based members. We are actually in the early stages of talking about a meet with fellow CAers in the Channel Islands some time soon.Dick Smith : DTMs will be at the Circuit de la Sarthe (bugatti) in October and there is a World Series by Renault race coming up soon. If you're ever around the great circuit, let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat71 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Hello - I've just seen this thread . . . would you like to know that the 'Circuit de Bresse' exists only 10 kms from us here? It caters for cars and motorcycles and there is soon to be a karting track too. We're in the Bresse region, South East Burgundy (Dept 71 - just!). We are also car fans, although our 35 year old Triumph Herald will probably not stand anything other than racing to the supermarket to pick up cat food! However, we do try to attract classic cars old and new, to our maison, as we love them!If you'd like to, view http://www.pictureburgundy.com/theregion.html .Cheers. Colin.

Cassis Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Book accommodation now unless you're camping. Not here, though, as I do not wish to see you being beaten up when you should be enjoying the race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 They have realised that we are only 90 minutes from the circuit, so you should be safe. They are all working on imaginative excuses for me to give for missing work on the Monday after - but I can't say that I am impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 There's always a good chance that the lorry drivers will be blockading the ports. No excuse needed, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
