The Circuit Paul Ricard opens its doors for free for the Téléthon
The Telethon and the Circuit Paul Ricard are joining forces to raise funds by opening the Var track to the public, with free access, on Saturday, December 1st. Several activities, including Formula 1 simulators, are planned for this event.
Here is a great opportunity to combine your passion for motorsport with a good deed for the Telethon: Circuit Paul Ricard will offer free access to its track on Saturday, December 1st, with activities planned from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The press release from the Circuit outlines the schedule of this exceptional day, which will mainly revolve around motorsports (F1, karting…).
For the past 10 years, the Circuit Paul Ricard has partnered with AFM Téléthon during the national mobilization. This year, the Var circuit will once again open its doors to the general public on December 1st from 10am to 5pm, offering sports and family activities to raise funds for the association.
Building on the program that made this day a success in previous years, the teams at Circuit Paul Ricard, Castellet International Airport, and the many partners who participate each year will offer paid activities for both children and adults starting from 2 euros, with 100% of the proceeds from the activities being donated to AFM Téléthon. As a reminder, the 2017 edition was record-breaking, with over 20,000 euros raised.
