French Hillclimb Invitation

La Pommeraye 25/26/27 May 2012
Saint Goueno 1/2/3 June 2012

Once again the organising clubs of Saint Goueno and La Pommeraye have
extend a hand of welcome to British and Irish drivers wishing to attempt
these world class hillclimbs.

The 3.2 km hill of Saint Goueno is situated in the charming Brittany
countryside about 90 minutes from the St Malo or Rosscoff. Thanks to its
450 volunteers the event is now considered to be the best organised
hillclimb in France. The warm Breton welcome and legendry après-piste
entertainment makes Saint Goueno unique and an absolute must do.

La Pommeraye hillclimb on the banks of the Loire near Angers is famous
having the fastest average speed in the French championship calendar,
it’s 2.6 km of fast sweeping bends are not for the faint hearted. The
course runs up through some very atmospheric vineyards and really gets
the heart pumping as cars flash under the passerelle and negotiate the
esses at over 130mph.
