2018 SRC (Sunday Ride Classic) Paul Ricard Circuit-France
Posted: Sat Dec 16, 2017 10:26 am
If you never heard of this event, check it out. For the last 10 years, it has become THE gathering of the best of Classic Motorcycle Road racing, kind of like Daytona used to be... Crying or Very sad
Some of the best past and current champions, tuners, team owners, factory attend for a fun loaded weekend in the South of France, at the prestigious PAUL RICARD circuit near Le CASTELLET. It is located near TOULON and MARSEILLE.
Regulars include AGOSTINI, FREDDIE SPENCER and many many more European star pilots.
The display of legendary racing bikes is phenomenal, and the purpose of the weekend is to see them in action on the track , often with their original pilot. Every year, there is a new honored guest, last year was Steve Baker riding his TZ750, and I think Wes Cooley will be the 2018 honoree.
The Who's who of road racing will be there.
Check it out on this website and make sure to watch all the slide show filled with fabulous bikes.

The other reason for this post is that the 2018 edition will feature the HONDA CBX, 40th anniversary.
As you know, it was released in Europe in 1978, 1 year earlier than in the US.
The SRC organizer has offered a special incentive to bring in CBX owners to this event, it includes the possibility of racing in a special "CBX" class several sessions , or simply participate in the CBX only parade lap.
The French CBX Club is inviting all CBX owners to participateand put together a special package for 15 Euros which includes the tix for the 3 day event, VIP tent welcome , parade lap for those with a bike (CBX of course) and a BBQ dinner sponsored by HONDA .
If you are interested, let me know so I can help you in the planning of this trip. I intend to go.
At this time of the year (end of march), it is more like California weather, and you can find real cheap airfares, also, I'm sure that the French CBX club will be happy to help in the logistics and finding adequate lodging accomodations.
I realize that it is far and costly to ship your CBX there... so if you don't know this part of Europe, consider making it a one week vacation to explore this wonderful region they call the French Riviera!
CANNES is only 1.5 hour east, NICE is 2 hours away, and the backroads are phenomenal.
So, even if you can't bring your CBX, consider renting a bike for a memorable week either starting or ending with the SRC weekend !
