The circuit Paul Ricard was for two days (19 and 20 October) the setting of the the Dix Mille Tours, the last meeting of the Series by Peter Auto.
This timeless event paid tribute to the belle epoque of motorsport with more than 350 historic cars on the track.
A record for this tenth edition that marks the end of the 2019 season.
Back on a weekend of unforgettable races, after all "All good things must come to an end"!

Seen in the paddock and around
A Volvo 240 Turbo Group A presented in a static way by Guillaume Dumarey's GDM Motors team.
The goal of GDM Motors, in collaboration with GRC Sport, is to enlist two copies of this Volvo 240 Turbo Gr.A next season. The Volvo 240 Turbo Group A, copy of the vintage racing car, is powered by a turbocharged 2127cc 4-cylinder engine developing up to 370 horsepower. The gearbox is a five-speed manual.


Ian Motion exhibited and proposed to the test an Austin Mini converting into an electric version.




Baptisms were organized for guests, especially with this Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Gr4.
The organizer had to forget my address or the post office lost the courier :-)


Many clubs were present to show their cars.


See you in April 2020 for the eleventh 10 000 tours du Paul Ricard.
