About fifteen cars on site
It is the members of the Mustang passion France association who will be traveling this Sunday. A club of enthusiasts of these beautiful cars, marketed from the 60s. They work to preserve and promote these models.
The brand of “pony car”, which takes its name from the breed of wild horses originating in North America, is now very recognizable by its logo: a galloping silver horse, mane in the wind. “Coming to the heart of a racetrack is a first for us, but inevitably, the world of horses interests us”, underlines Stéphane Retoin, secretary of the club, originally from the Paris region.

He adds: “Our club was founded in 2006. It comes from a historic club in Belgium and currently has more than 160 owners. “
About fifteen of them will be exhibiting their vehicles in Chartres, with old models, such as a 1966 convertible, or more recent, dating from 2007 or 2020.
Michaëlla Dutertre, communications officer at the Chartres racecourse, also specifies that on November 21, it will be the turn of the Beauce vintage car club to come and exhibit their vintage vehicles, in the heart of the racecourse.
