Historic Tour - Val de Vienne - Roadster Pro Cup - 2021

 

Two 1,600cc Mazda MX5 Mk1s go into turn 1 at Val de Vienne.

The Roadster Pro Cup championship forms part of the Historic Tour in France and is a classic one-make series for Mazda MX5 Mk1s.    From memory it is the first time that I have seen this series and although I am not a big fan of one-make-series, i do have a bit of a soft spot for these Mazda roadsters.  The drivers were all French except for one Brit, Julien Howe.  Twenty nine cars started the race and all but one finished.  The photos were taken both in qualifying and the race.

The Mazdas come out of Virage Trop Tard on lao one with eventual winner Laurent Fresnais leading.

Julien Howe can be seen here in car number 3 in this battle near the back of the field.

The field goes through La Ferme.
