Marseille presents the 2010 Audi MedCup Circuit
In June the Audi MedCup Circuit will return for the third successive season to race on Marseille?s renowned Rade race area. The two previous visits have produced a wide range of challenging wind conditions, including several exciting experiences with the testing Mistral breezes which produced some of the most inspiring action images of recent years. &xnbsp; &xnbsp;
Today at the Salon Nautique de La Ciotat, in Marseille, Audi MedCup Circuit organisers, representatives of MPM ? Marseille Provence Metropole ? , and key local organisers, gathered to make a presentation to boat show visitors, media and institutional representatives about this season?s highlight regatta.
The cosmopolitan Marseille venue reindexs one of the most popular on the world?s leading regatta circuit. With the Audi MedCup Village set up in the heart of the Vieux Port, only metres from the historic Le Mairie building ? the Town Hall ? the TP52 Series and GP42 Series fleets moor up in the centre of France?s picturesque second city which has a long and proud seafaring tradition.
