Apart from the track and the paddocks, one of the attractions on the Dijon-Prenois circuit during the Grand Prix de l’Age d’Or (GPAO 2023) is in the areas reserved for Clubs. You can find passionate owners and real nuggets who come to the heart of the action to enjoy the show.
This year a large majority of the space was occupied by Corvettes come to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the model!
Between 400 and 500 Corvettes of all generations together, impressive to see so many
Is it me or that Hard Top makes her look like Facel Vega ?
We could see a lot of accessories or customization, but also some decidedly more sporty models
They were not, however, the only Americans, a few Mustang of course, but also this manly Viper GTS
The Light Car Club knows how to receive and demonstrates it once again with a magnificent stand
The cars present on their space are obviously light: Alpine (read our essays), Caterham (read our essays), Lotus (read our essays), Mazda MX-5but not only … and also colorful
THE Seven group together, perhaps frightened by larger and heavier neighbors
Neat interior in this recent Super Seven 1600 (read here).
A little more “roots” in this 1700 Super Sprint (read here) even if the GPS can work without a cigarette lighter socket 🙂
We could also contemplate in detail the latest creation of the team Machine Revival who settled in Bayonne.
A nice duo of Jensenit’s not every day that you come across
And here is a trio that could totally delight me the day I win at Euromillions!
Yum the posterior of a Type-E series 1…
Another in the shade of the woods to taunt me
Still at Jaguar, the classic Saloon Mk2 (read here) in a very sporty version here
Another colorful English classic with a Morgan Plus 4 (read here).
And a very cute Ford Cortina 1500 GT 4 doors nicely prepared
The Florida and Caravelle Generation Club is a faithful member of the GPAO that we see every year
The French women remain few in the aisles of the Clubs, here a beautiful 403 cabriolet in a rather rare red that suits her well
If you are looking for the 2cvs, it seems that they have mutated during the night!
BMW E21 convertible Baur or how to be outdoors but not completely
Another German, Ms. Porsche 911 poses next to a rare Abarth 124 GT with its carbon hard top (read here)
Since we are in the slightly more recent Italians, a Maserati MC20 (read here)beautiful car that I saw for the first time in real life, note the English registration “20 S”
This one we see more often, though, but each time it makes the bodybuilder chip smile 695 Abarth !
We end with the Club atmosphere of CAPM in the early morning and out of the tents: a mix of diverse and varied cars all driven by the same passion of their owners. See you next year, dear GPAO!
