Animation

The action begins in town, on Friday, September 4, with a presentation of the riders and their machines, parades, animation, games and music. You'll certainly want to be on hand when we crown "Miss Les 12 Heures&endash;1998!".
This is only the beginning of three days of celebration. This year, real-time results will now be presented on an infield video scoreboard. In addition to the race itself, the festivities include demonstrations of the autocross racers from Ordonnaz. These wild, single-seater, roll-caged off-road vehicles are propelled by 100 horse-power, four-cylinder, 600cc street bike engines. In action, these vehicles define the phrase, "full-lock powerslide!" In addition, you can check out stylin' supercross jumps (a la Bercy), carnival rides, great food and bars featuring incredible local French wines and beer. Rent a quad (or bring your own) and join us on a special quad trek (please make reservations in advance). In the evening, Pont de Vaux features DJ techno-house performances with a 200,000-watt turbo sound system, computer lighting, smoke innovations, picture canons and hyper-fractal video. Or, book yourself as a DJ and bring your own music! Saturday night before the race, a huge fireworks display will kick off the festivities.

PODIUM
The incredible French Air Force mobile podium, a high-tech electronic semi-trailer and its crew will be multi-operational this year. Friday, in town, they will be presenting the riders and quads, then, at the track, they will welcome the riders on Saturday morning. The mobile podium will also host the traditional trophy and award presentation after the race. The suspense mounts! Les 12 Heures approaches!
