Specifically this year between 20 and 22 September for the Circuit des Remparts d'Angoulême.

Essentially, I have spent another year researching the very early Bugatti Type 35 and would like to present the work for critique to anyone that knows these cars very well before making public.

Thought this race might be one opportunity to meet people who fit this profile which I am guessing will be owners/restorers/mechanics.

I will not be there, unfortunately.

I'm there most years, and almost certainly will be there this year not an expert but would love a chat over a beer/vino

Herman you should make the journey it's a great day!

Last year there was only ONE original Molsheim T35 Bugatti in the grid at Angoulême so I can only recommend that place in case you want to increase your knowledge about Look-a-like Argentinian products that should not be allowed to have a Bugatti badge on the radiator.
It is a very nice event but since Replicas and Look-a-likes are dominating the owners of the real thing avoid the place.

Thank you for the heads up. Can I please come and see you with what I have directly before or after the event so you can give my work the Bugwrench critique?

...........There is a LOT to go through.

I guess Bugwrench is one of not so many that really do know about originals.

Absolutely nothing there for me car wise.

Will go and enjoy the atmosphere, meet a few people and make road trip to people who may help.

There may just be one genuine Bugatti GP which will be there for the first time....
