After
more than one year of interrogations on the future of the Circuit
of Mérignac, STARC Aquitaine is the first automobile club what
is able to invite to you on this track.
 
Renault 5 Turbo
Nearly 50 drivers benefitted from this day, much from others had
benefitted from the occasion to come with their Alpine of spectators.
 
Megane Renault Sport Trophy - Megane Renault Sport F1 Team
Some innovations this year, the new manager of the Circuit of Mérignac
imposed a vehicle inspection to us. It included a
control of the sound volume emitted by the cars at 4500 trs/mn. The
free exhaust was prohibited. Two cars were readjusted, one been able
to set out again with the fast addition of a muffler. Unfortunately,
Thierry, for lack of parts to correct the problem, could not take part.
 
Proto A310 V6 of Thierry and Alpine A610 of Didier17, 2 FARNautes
The car inspection made it possible to confirm the good
mechanical state of the whole of the park car and to sensitize once
again the participants in the safety requirements.
 
Megane Cup
 
Alpine A310 V6
After the inspection of all cars, and a briefing
and a recall of the security instructions and significance of the flags,
we launched the first series.
 
Alpine A110 1600SX - Renault 8 S
 
Clio Renault Sport V6 Ph. 1 - Alpie A610 Magny Cours
For midday, the intendance team of the STARC Aquitaine had made the
things well. Nearly 100 meals were been useful during the pause lunch,
under the tent planned for the occasion.
 
Megane Maxi F2000 - Alpine A310 V6
The series began again towards 2 pm, alternating
like the morning series of trucks and series of single-seaters.
 
Spider Renault Sport
A broad public attracted by a very sunny day joined us to admire the
drifts maintained by several pilots. We counted more than 80 Alpine
and Renault Sport on the carpark! Towards 17h30, we closed the
track after a last serie reserved for the single-seaters and Spider.
Large a thank
you with all the participants who knew, to follow the security instructions,
to save the police chiefs and the employees with the sweeping of the
track. The person in charge for the Circuit was allured by our serious
and will be able to perhaps propose to us new dates for a new
day of free tests at Mérignac.
