Around 500 spectators made the trip to the Maurice-Forget circuit in Châtillon-sur-Colmont, where several Mayenne drivers secured podium finishes despite wintry conditions.
The Fol'car Club drew around 500 people on Sunday, 25 October 2026, to the Maurice-Forget circuit in Châtillon-sur-Colmont, in Mayenne. According to the organisers, attendance fell short of expectations, a shortfall they partly attribute to the bad weather that struck shortly before the event.
The storm that swept across the department in the preceding days left its mark and deterred some potential visitors. Despite this, the event went ahead and brought together enthusiasts eager to follow racing for these small, sporty cars, a discipline that draws a loyal following rather than large crowds.
On the track, the competition was contested in the cool conditions typical of the season. Several drivers from Mayenne managed to climb onto the podium, which the organisers hailed as a encouraging sign for the local vitality of the discipline.
The meeting underlines the particular place regional races hold in the sporting landscape of western France. Outside the major national events, such gatherings rely heavily on volunteers and on the devotion of a small public, who turn up even when the weather complicates the organisation.
The club's officials did not hide their disappointment at a turnout below their hopes, while stressing that the day's sporting success partly offset this setback. They hope that future editions will enjoy kinder conditions in order to attract more spectators.
