If you happen to’ve heard of The Massive Automobile Present, you’ll both already be immersed in French automotive tradition, otherwise you merely adopted the engine noises on a go to to the Bugatti Circuit inside Circuit de la Sarthe late final month.

If you happen to haven’t heard of it, let this be your introduction to an occasion that has the makings of one thing a lot larger sooner or later.

Not that The Massive Automobile Present 2023 was small by any means; there have been a whole lot of automobiles, lots of people, and quite a bit occurring over the weekend. For an occasion that’s nonetheless in its infancy – this 12 months was solely its second working – that’s spectacular.

The automotive choice was diverse, with all the things from an itasha-style VW Golf 6R, to an RWB Porsche and a McLaren 600LT MSO.

Anybody who attended Ultrace 2022 in Poland ought to acknowledge this construct. I actually don’t perceive why it was hidden away in a nook; the slammed Aston Martin undoubtedly deserved to be sitting in a distinguished location at The Massive Automobile Present.

Certainly one of my favourite automobiles of the occasion was this cool little Daihatsu Copen. I’d beforehand by no means seen one in particular person, and I’m assuming they’re fairly uncommon in France.

A variety of work has gone into this S2000, with a hand-engraved engine and plenty of extra particulars all through the bay.

For the 2023 occasion, a particular drift course was arrange. You’ll be able to inform from the tire marks, that issues went properly. The ATC Drift MkIV Supra ripped the
observe, and had the battle scars to indicate for it.

In the course of the night of the primary day, a live performance was organized for present attendees. Whereas that was occurring, I took the chance to search out extra angles underneath synthetic mild.

The inclusion of some film automotive replicas and impressed builds added a neat popular culture factor to the occasion.

With a rat-rod look and Fallout cues, I actually favored the theme of this Volkswagen Beetle.

The second version of The Massive Automobile Present was successful, and I believe we will anticipate the 2024 occasion to be much more formidable. In any case, I intend to cowl it once more, and hopefully head out onto the well-known circuit subsequent time round.
