    Actually should be really nice with better weather than April, always uncertain, when they enter the second phase most tourists will have driven north to home as usual right at the end of August, clearing the south of France of crowds, always great to be there in September. I will follow it more this year.

    Legends of the Autobahn just cancelled their annual show during Monterey Car Week
    300 Porsches were expected to be on display. But it was cancelled because local residents didn't like the idea of it taking place at a public park. The organizers couldn't get an alternative so the BMW club that sponsors it withdrew their support.

    Your camera really likes that Jaune 250 SWB model (#145) in the low front driver view! Beautiful, thank you.

    Hello Marc
    No, it's a BHS, for Benais and Saint-Hilaire. Littlel French craftsman from the end of the 60's, with a Renault 1300 engine. The owner-pilot of the #213 raced with this same car at the 1970 Tour Auto. He is now 80 years old !

    Hello Etienne,
    Both car were at the start. #260 was also at the finish on saturday. On the second day, #260 had trouble during race at circuit de bresse, but was racing again on the afternoon. SWB #29 was DNF during first day (I saw it already stopped just outside Paris).
