The Federation Française du Sport Automobile will be organising an exceptional historic Grand Prix car exhibition to honour 100 years of Grand Prix racing in France. Rendezvous this June 3-4, at the base of the Avenue Champs-Elysées to experience this once in a lifetime event.

This unique exhibition will feature historic cars demonstrating 100 years of Grand Prix racing evolution from it's creation in France in 1906 to the last Formula 1 season. Open from Saturday morning until Sunday evening, the Grand Prix car display will feature such famous cars as the Darac 1906, Bugatti, and Renault. There will be Formula One animations, Grand Prix de France information team, 2006 Formula One show cars, and circuit marshals on site to explain the sport.

Sunday at 11:00, Parisians can discover the excitement of these same Grand Prix cars driving in the heart of Paris. Following closely behind a pace car, these historic cars will parade over 9 kms through the city centre driving past the most famous monuments in Paris; Les Champs l'Elysées, Trocadéro, Tour Eiffel, Champs de Mars, Invalides, l'Assemblée National, and la Place de la Concorde

"What better way to bring the show to the public then to give them the sounds and sensations of Grand Prix cars on the streets of the nation's capital. The public will experience 100 years of race engine development," stated Jacques Regis, President of the Federation Française du Sport Automobile.

"Through this exhibition we hope to illustrate the history and the evolution of Grand Prix automobile racing," Regis continued, "And honour the manufacturers involved in automobile racing past and present."

Discounting the 11 Indianapolis events between 1950 and 1960, which counted towards the Formula One World Championship, even though there was no significant F1 involvement, this year's French Grand Prix is the 750th Formula One World Championship race.
