15 good reasons to come to the Sunday Ride Classic

The Circuit Paul Ricard continues to celebrate motorsports history with the 15th Sunday Ride Classic on May 18 and 19.

Like the Grand Prix de France Historique, the Sunday Ride Classic is an extraordinary mix of champions, exceptional racing machines and top-level collectors. This year, for example, 23 Grand Prix drivers representing 28 world titles will be on hand for the public over the weekend.
