The Dutch Brothers have tried out a track in Macon, France and say it's amazing. We're getting a lot of interest en Francais, and no one can organise a bike based party like them (Bol d'Or, Le Mans, Le Touquet, Classic Bol, Coupe Moto Legende...) so we're hoping someone gets excited about running a race there.
If you want more details contact the Dutch Brothers (who speak English and probably French.)
Lets get an event organised for next summer. Good weather, some good bands, French style event, some street trackers on display and an outlaw class. I am booking the ferry already!!! Come on JW I know your the man!!!
ReplyDeletecould be nice to have such an event in France dude !
ReplyDeleteA few of the road race clubs have a round at croix in france as part of thier championship so it's not inconcievable !
ReplyDeletei for one am in !!!!
And it'd probably be nearer than scunny for us southerners .

I'm with you on that Outtacontrolla-where in the South are you? Wouldn't mind getting something started down here (Dorset) too. Got a house in France, so an event there would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteYou English guys want to check where Macon is before yo get too excited. Short track Uk tried to run races in the South, but none of the softies came out to race.
ReplyDeleteRye House, in Herts next year. Not much better for Dorset, I admit.
I've ridden Croix tarmac a few times, its fun - & no noise restrictions either.
ReplyDeleteMacon is over to the south east above Lyon.
Am now in the process of trying to buy a old farmhouse with a widow-maker back garden down south. If it comes off, we may just have to organise a bit of a cross-country championship this summer!

Good luck with the farmhouse-nuisance about euro/pound. How about a TT course-I'd bring my Triumph down for that!
ReplyDeleteNow this one is pure fantasy, but its good to dream...
ReplyDeleteDo a flat track tour of France riding the many dirt 'mile' (equivalent) horse tracks (à la Del Mar) that are scattered all over the country.
Shame it's a bureaucratic impossibility. Just imagine.

Longchamps 'mile' race ... sounds kool ! :) (but will probably stay as a dream ... but it's good to dream a little bit these days)
ReplyDeleteOops, I didn't realize there was some discussion going on here...
ReplyDeletewell, thanks for all your enthousiasm! The race is scheduled for 26 september 2009!! It will count for the International Mefo Sport Flattrack Cup 2009!
