At the end of August, all ten Peter Auto grids will be racing at the Paul Ricard circuit for the 14th edition of the Dix Mille Tours race meeting.

Paul Ricard is a modular circuit with 167 track variations and Peter Auto uses a variety of layouts depending on the grid, to give each type of car, from the ‘50s cars of the Gentlemen Challenge and ‘60s Endurance, to the nearly up-to-date cars of the Endurance Racing Legends, an optimum layout. In particular, the Group C Racing cars will have the opportunity to approach the 300km/h top speed mark on the full Mistral straight, providing an unmissable opportunity for drivers to come and take up the challenge.

The full Mistral Straight awaits the Group C drivers at the end of August

Over its 14 editions the Dix Mille Tours has grown in popularity with the public, who come each year in in greater numbers. With this has come an increasing number of paddock activities and displays for them, including a vendor’s village, club displays, track sessions, grid walks, autograph sessions and more. And, as always, the famous Peter Auto hospitality will be extended to all drivers. Peter Auto caters for a wide variety of prototypes, sports and touring cars, see www.peterauto.fr for entries.
