In my most favorite part of France, the famous Burgundy region, they’ll host a very classic Grand Prix this weekend. The Grand Prix de l’Age d’Or had moved to the circuit of Dijon-Prenois since the gates of the autodrome Montlhéry closed to the general public.
The public is invited to greet and meet all the passionate car owners, who are around during the weekend and who will most certainly amuse the crowds.
The fun part is the presentation of cars that will be present. This is a very exotic line up. The grids will include Pre 1962 GP cars (Maserati 250F, Lotus 16), endurance, GT’s (Ferrari 250 GT SWB, Alfa TZ2, Jaguar Type E, Shelby GT350…), pre-war and FISC EuroTour. Then Club Bugatti France will take the opportunity to present a grid of 30 cars of their type 51 and 35 cars.
And this type of shing-dig wouldn’t be complete without a parade of really unique cars, which have been produced through the years and which are now all part of a private collection. The parade was organized and put about by Citroën, France’s national car constructor. I’m wishing I was there maybe not this year, there’ll be next year.
