Week 13 2015

Hello!

Bordeaux start

The silence was shattered this weekend with over 120 classic and collectable cars joining together for the annual trip from Bordeaux to Castillon and then time trials around 3 courses amongst the vines.   

The day started at the Allees du Tourney in Bordeaux with overcast skies and the rains held off until late afternoon.

Cars racing through the vines is quite a sight.  Anyone who knows me, knows I’m a bit of an armchair petrolhead, so cars whizzing right by my house was (quite literally) just up my street!

Have a great week in the Dordogne and Gironde regions, I’m looking forward to the longer evenings from next weekend.

Racing in the St Emilion vineyards

Best wishes,

Helen
