The Historic Racing by Peter Auto series organized, at the end of the summer break, the Dix Mille Tours on the Paul Ricard circuit.
I was not alone since 25.000 people showed up to attend the various races and events planned throughout this weekend.
In total we were entitled to 12 repaired races between Saturday and Sunday.
In addition to the familiar grids, some demonstrations were on the program for historic Formula 1 and prototypes/GT cars.
I will try, through my photos, to make you feel the excitement experienced during this meeting.
Let the show begin.
The 2.0L Cup is the only single-make series of the Peter Auto series. It is reserved for Porsche 911 2-litre short wheelbase cars complying with pre-1966 FIA regulations.
