The TRISKELION Motor Sports Association and the Hellenic Historic Car Club (ELIA) are organizing for the 9th consecutive year in the Peloponnese the historic car race called “Tour du Péloponnèse” from October 2 to 8, 2022.
The Tour du Péloponnèse, is a Regularity race that offers classic car enthusiasts a 1000km driving feast of exceptional Peloponnesian routes and the opportunity to visit some of the most beautiful regions of Greece.
The racing part is expected with great interest since the TRISKELION has been established internationally for the selection of quality routes and the perfect organization that includes roadside assistance in the event of an emergency and online results services. With 70, mainly international but also Greek crews having already singed in, the “battles” on the special routes are expected to be “epic”.
