Thanks for reminding me, Dave.

I saw the banners up on the Place St Jacques last week but I'd forgotten all about it.  Old age, you know.

Always a good day out.....[:D]

Popped down there yesterday evening and it was busy then. Will be back there again this morning.

Quite a few new cars taking part this year, and a few more British drivers taking part as well.

What time's kick off today?  I seem to remember from last year that it was after lunch.

Just come back from a great day at the races.

Bought a 'Bressuire Grand Prix' cap and a programme for 2€ then had a good wander round the paddock checking out the cars.  Recognised a few of the 'chargers' from last time - old saloon cars, sports cars, vintage racers and oldie single seaters.

All washed down with an ice cold tin of Orangina and a big barquette de frites.......[:D]

Bit less than Goodwood Friday! Brilliant though it was, approx €14 for the prog, daren't say what the total cost was! Hey, whatever [B]

Marvelous weekend - even the car parks are worth paying the entry fee for and racing all through the night to boot.

Just look at the Porkers which are coming, for a kick off.   Drool.

I've just returned from the Bressuire races.

Another fantastic day. Nice to see some different cars as well as some familiar ones.

I hope this event will continue for many years to come.
