During the 2012 edition, event organiser Patrick Peter announced the celebration of the creation of the BPR during the 4th Dix Mille Tours. Indeed twenty years ago, in August 1993, Stephane Ratel and Patrick Peter launched a GT race based on the Venturi Trophy before creating a series in March 1994 with the complicity of Jurgen Barth - the BPR was born!

The BPR Revival will gather the cars which participated in this competition held from August 1993 until the end of 1996 including models of the same type or equivalent. McLaren F1 GTR, Venturi 600 LM, Porsche 911 Turbo S LM, Ferrari F40 LM will again take to the track. As most of the cars which havent been driven regularly since the BPR are no longer in conformity, they will put on a demonstration parade. Dont miss the occasion to admire these legendary models once again. The three founders, Jurgen Barth, Stephane Ratel and Patrick Peter hope to welcome a great many of the cars, racing drivers and team managers that participated in this great adventure.
