Renault Clubs @ Prescott La Vie en Bleu - 23rd & 24th May

There are two other Renault Heritage supported events before WSR Silverstone that you might like to come along to.

The first of these is La Vie en Bleu Trois, Prescott, Gotherington, Cheltenham (Home of the Bugatti Owners' Club)

On Saturday 23rd & Sunday 24th May the Bugatti Owners' Club are holding their third annual celebration of all things French at Prescott 'La Vie en Bleu'.

This is always a great event and this year also celebrates 100 years of the Bugatti Owners' Club and there will be 100 Bugattis on display with many in competition. Several Bugatti Veyrons and an EB110 will also run up the hill.

An ex Ayrton Senna JPS Lotus-Renault 97T will also be running both days. There will be a Battle of Britain Memorial Flight on the Saturday (with a Lancaster, Hurricane and Spitfire) and Sunday will see a special display by a French Stampe bi-plane.

We have space for a 60 car Renault Clubs' display in the Orchard and there is an opportunity for Renault drivers to participate in competition on Sunday in any Renault Sport, Classic Renault, Alpine or other Renault competition prepared car.

If you want to drive in competition on Sunday you must have at least an MSA National B (non-race) licence and your entry must be in on or before Friday 8th May.

Renault H&C and Renault UK will support the Renault Clubs area (which is open to all Renault clubs) at the event. There is also usually a celebrity driver.
