Petrol heads in the Charente

Any fellow petrol heads in the Charente? If so, be good to try and arrange some meets/drives/social activities car related as it all seems a bit dead on that front. Shame seeing as we've got great roads, no crowds and it's the home of the circuit de remparts!

I've done val de Viennese and haut saintonge .Where is the one you are talking about? Would certainly be interested in going! Do you use your own car?

Here are a couple of links that may interest you. http://www.trackdays.fr/agenda.php

I have done a couple of days at the Vieene circuit and i just turned up on a Journey touristic.
About 13 euros for 15 minute slots. Some idiots trying to drift in front of you sometimes but not to bad.

I also drive at Spa for a weekend each year.

Yes that would be great when i have finished the upgrades on my coupe. Its just about to get a new clutch,so it can handle more power.
Let me know if you are going to le Vigeant at any time.

You would find Le Mans Bugatti more to your liking in a DB9. These days are usually better organised than some.
http://store.slicketstock.com/fr/25-le-mans-bugatt... I am doing July with them.

I did VdeV on Sunday, it is actually an FFSA test day and so it can be a bit intimidating in a road car.

http://www.accespiste.fr are also doing Lederman in August which may also be of interest to you.

Thanks for that. Just had a quick shufty and all looks very inviting. Where are you based?

Hi

Ive just joined PH and saw they had a french section. I know this is an old post....
I live near Angouleme and do trackdays at haute saintonge and le vigeant , I would like to get together with other petrolheads in the area.

Im just near Mansle , i know chateauneuf, my mate use to live near there, claix.

Delta racing http://www.delta-racing.co.uk/ are also advertising a track day on Bugatti on the same date and have about 90 participants signed up. I suspect that the two trackdays are linked judging by the preponderance of black an red on their websites but I'm trying to ascertain the overall number of cars involved. The Delta racing list doesn't include any Fiats, but does include a couple of McLarens and other exotic stuff from Jersey.
I'm very keen to do Bugatti and would much prefer the day there on 16th August with Bruno and Sophie Carron http://speedmonster.forumactif.fr/t67-circuit-buga... max 85 cars, £170, very friendly crowd, but other commitments preclude it.

All sounds great, but would be nice to get something on the doorstep for us Charentaise refugees. We have Valle de Vienne and Haute Saintonge on the doorstep, there must be something going on?
