2020 - Historic Tour - Charade - GT Classic + Saloon Cars

The 1970 BMW 2002 Ti of Bernard Frugier in the Virage du Petit Pont at the Charade Circuit.
it is four years since I last saw the Historic Tour at Charade, so I was long overdue a return.  The first cars that greeted me this year were the GT Classic and Saloon Cars.  These cars vary in age from the sixties to the nineties but there are some gems amongst them.

I was just there for the Saturday qualifying session but it gave me a chance to admire the cars and get reacquainted with the magnificent circuit de Charade.

Fastest of the GT Classic competitors was Laurent Sabatier in this 1995 Porsche 993 GT2.
Lovely to see an 8 litre 1988 Dodge Viper in the Historic Tour.
Porsche - BMW and Audi in the Virage du petit pont.
Always great to see a 5.8 litre 1968 Chevrolet Camaro.  It was driven by the Fachinettis.
A 1967 Alfa Romeo Bertone 1,750cc driven by the Drouilleaus.
Thierry Lortal in a 1989 Caterham Superseven
