Film of the weekend: “Indian winter at Charade

Absent from the Historic Tour calendar last year, the Charade circuit was the scene of many on-track battles this weekend! The 338 drivers involved adapted to the changing weather conditions to battle it out on this demanding 3.975 km track.

In five weeks' time, the third round of the French Historic Circuit Championship will take place at Magny-Cours on July 5, 6 & 7.
