One of the grandest European classic car events took place in Angoulême, France from the 18th to the 20th of September, 2009. The 70th edition of the Circuit des Remparts d’Angoulême attracted tens of thousands of classic car enthusiasts from all over the world, and more than 750 vehicles participated in the shows and rallies that were held during the event.
Some of the most popular events of the Circuit des Remparts d’Angoulême include the Charente rally, the Concours d’Elegance, and the Sunday race. This year, more than 170 automobiles took part in these events, and most of them were British vehicles. The winners of the Charente rally was Patrick La Masne, who drove a 1962 Triumph TR3B, Patrick Bonnetain in a 1959 Triumph TR3A, and Didier Cohendet in a 1974 Peugeot 504 Cabriolet.
The Concours d’Elegance featured an impressive line-up of classic cars. A 1904 Pierre Roy, which is owned by Francis Lecornu, was declared the winner of the event. The runner-up was a 1932 Chevrolet Confederate Cabriolet, which belongs to Glawdys Jacquemin, and the third prize went to a 1907 Lorraine Dietrich, which is owned by Jean-Marie Prince.
