Pau misses out on big races

The crowded European historic racing calendar has taken a heavy toll on the Grand Prix Historique de Pau this year, with the May 24/25 event missing out on the high-profile races that usually mark the round-the-streets meeting.

With no feature races for F1 or F2, this year’s line-up is one of the weakest in the track’s 78-year history. Top of the bill are French Classic F3 and the GT and Sports Car Cup, along with this season’s opening U2TC touring car race.
