Pau misses out on big races

July 7, 2014

The crowded European historic racing calendar has taken a heavy toll on the Grand Prix Historique de Pau this year, with the May 24/25 event missing out on the high-profile races that usually mark the round-the-streets meeting.

With no feature races for F1 or F2, this year’s line-up is one of the weakest in the track’s 78-year history. Top of the bill are French Classic F3 and the GT and Sports Car Cup, along with this season’s opening U2TC touring car race.

Here is a man who goes racing every weekend from March to October. Paul’s passion for the sport goes back to when he was a child of the 1960s. He has organised, competed in and marshalled on scores of events, and has written about the subject for 20 years. He is as at home in the paddock at Brands Hatch as in a Welsh forest or at Shelsley Walsh.
