« on: June 26, 2005, 09:35:57 pm »

Hello everybody, here are some details about the started hour of our favorite race:

- 15 o'clock in 1968 (but the race occured in september because of the events of may);
- 14 o'clock in 1969 (because of presidential elections);
- 15 o'clock in 1979/1981/1984/1985/1988/1996 (because of elections and the European Football Cup in 1996);
- 14 o'clock in 1998 (Roland Garros and World Football Cup).

For any other questions, send me a message, I leave close to the track and go to the race since many years!
Friendly yours, Alain
