La Vie en Bleu incorporating La Vita Rossa.
Saturday 26 & Sunday 27 May 2018.
A celebration of French and Italian cars, music and entertainment.

“The event is quintessentially British - a mini Goodwood Festival of Speed set in the glorious Cotswolds. It’s a club motor sport at its best, where visitors can mingle with the cars, speak to the drivers, and watch rare historic vehicles to modern day supercars being pushed to their limits”.
Nick Mason, Drummer from Pink Floyd, historic racer and avid car collector.

'La Vie en Bleu' returns to Prescott on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 May 2018. The spectacular two-day event is a firm favourite on the motoring calendar and celebrates all things French & Italian.
