LES SIX HEURES DE BOURGOGNE
1927
The 30 April 1927, in the « Bien Public » (the regional newspaper of Dijon), we can read that the A.C.B (Automobile Club of Bourgogne) has created an event entitled “6 hours of Bourgogne free form”. The vehicles can be racings cars, the motors could be boosted and the coachworks will be selected by the racing driver.
The
regulation:
1rst class: the vehicles superior to 2 litres
2d class: the vehicles between 1.100 cm3 and 2 litres
3d class: the vehicles up to 1.100 cm3
The 26 May 1927, for the first time a new race will take place in Burgundy.
This
new track which can be considered like a speed circuit as well as a circuit of
resistance, will take place at the doors of Dijon on a rapid and very
interesting road: great straight line, difficult bends, circuit guarded of
course, that’s to say a great circuit to become probably classic.
According the “Bien Public” of 13 May 1927, man can expect a wonderful spectacle, a breakneck speed, and certainly a vast crowd which overrun the places.
