This blog will always be dedicated to covering small local events as well as the larger well known events at Le Mans and elsewhere. One such event, I love covering is the annual event in early October organised at the Musée Ateliers des Pionniers by the old railway station at Gallardon. It is a fun event with non-timed runs up the public road in front of the old station "Gare de Pont-sous-Gallardon". Enthusiasts arrive with their two, three and four wheeled old vehicles. Great fun is to be had by all and one comes across makes of vehicle one had never even heard of before! The museum itself is well worth a visit and this year is featuring an exhibition of Isle of Man Tourist Trophy racers from 1907 to 1950. A link to the museum's site can be found below.
