2008 sees the world famous Bugatti Owners Club hosting their 2nd French "la vie en blue - reprise" and this year they have been promised sunshine.
Sunday 25th May is the big French day where many French car clubs, classic, historic, collectors and racers will be taking to the hill. Demontration runs will be made in the 1000 HP Veyron and a few other specialities including Ayton Senna's Renault engined 1986 F1 car.
Entrance will be £12 in advance, £15 on the gate for each day. Last year, competitors who raced their cars up the hill were excused of the entrance fees which make the £98 fee very reasonable and great value for money for a weekend.
WIN a ride of a lifetime in a Bugatti Veyron for a run up the hill. All advance ticket sales will be entered into a draw to be made on Sunday the 25th May. ONE WINNER ONLY.
Saturday 24th May will see rounds of the Allard, Austin Healey, Bently, Bugatti, Ferrari, Austin 7, Lotus and Ginetta car clubs championships.
Sunday 25th May, the French Day, will see all French car clubs and French engined cars taking to the hill.
Prescott is a fantastic spectator venue, the catering, seating, viewing and general facilities are excellent. This is a great family day out and there will be a few car club stands to look at too. Access to the paddock is very open and the general public can really get amongst the cars.
Put the date in your diary, there will be camping too, as well as the usual hotels in nearby Cheltenham.
For competitors, the regs have been published, entry forms are here:

Class structure is still under debate and depends upon the variety and level of entries received. Just call me if you have any questions, BUT it is most likely to fill up quite quickly, so my entry went off today!
