La Vie en Bleu 2009

24 May – Celebrate fine French automobiles for a third year running, at Prescott Speed Hill Climb’s anticipated La Vie En Bleu 2009 weekend event.

Gloucestershire motorheads and culture vultures alike will be in for another treat this year, when the prestigious Prescott Speed Hill Climb near Cheltenham plays host to the third La Vie En Bleu weekend event.

Taking place on Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 May 2009, the home of the Bugatti Owner’s Club will be transformed in celebration of fine French automobiles – when both vintage and classic cars will be on show at the prestigious venue.

There will be racing on both days, with Saturday being for Invited Clubs and Sunday celebrating all things Francais, and practice runs will once again take place in the morning.

The highlight of the weekend will be appearances by both the Bugatti Veyron and its predecessor the EB110. Brought to fame thanks to multiple appearances on BBC’s Top Gear show, the Bugatti Veyron is the fastest, most lavish and expensive road car the world has ever seen – boasting a phenomenal 978bp with 10 radiators used to cool the uncovered engine, and an unbelievable top speed of 252mph. Not to mention another appearance by ex-Aryton Senna turbo-powered Renault engine F1 Lotus T98.

While the skies will also come alive thanks to the Battle of Britain Flight scheduled to take place with a full thrilling display, including a Lancaster, Spitfire and Hurricane – on Saturday 23 May 2009 at 2pm.

With savings to be made on booking tickets in advance, this anticipated event is set to be a real summer highlight.
