For the first time since 1976 the first weekend in September is quiet in Loheac
by Rallycross World |
Right now we should be in France with 70,000 of our closest friends. To be precise that corner of Brittany in which a sleepy little village called Loheac was the first place to organise rallycross in France and which has since grown into what many would regard as one of the very best events in the World.
There’s no history lesson today, just a selection of pictures from Loheac, some iconic moments, some just here because they’re beautiful pictures.
Take your time, grab your drink of choice, sit back and enjoy Loheac. Hopefully next year ‘noheac’ will be a distant memory and we can all meet again in Loheac.
