Street Racing

July 7, 2014

If you plan to be in France in September, Sunday 17 sees the climax of the Circuit des Rem parts of Angouleme, when racing cars tour the ancient city walls. It’s a demonstration, not a race, but it’s quite an event nevertheless. On the Saturday there is a rally touring the area, with a Concours d’Etat, the winner of which receives his own weight in Cognac, while the weekend begins on Friday with a Concours d’Elegance Viewing is free, though FF100 buys entry to the closed paddock: times and details from ACOCRA, tel 00 33 16 45 94 95 67: fax. 00 33 16 45 94 95 66.

Bravely ignoring his degree in industrial design after discovering night rallies in a Renault 8, GC joined Motor Sport by accident, in the Teesdale days around 1982 when Jenks and WB were office regulars and Mr Tee ruled with a rod of cardboard. He took part in some of the early historic rallies, winning one of the Pirelli Marathons, and regularly runs his Mk2 Jaguar in road events.
