By Jean-Eric Raoul
“A string of blind corners, a dog-leg gearbox, stunning single-seaters straight out of the history books. A team that truly takes care of you. Classic Racing School is all of that. And it’s even better from the driver’s seat.”
By Benjamin
“Personally, I loved it. Driving the car, of course, but also everything around it. That’s what really makes the difference. The experience is fantastic, the setting immerses you with the lounge, the circuit, and the gear, and the interaction with the instructors truly helps you feel confident.”
By Benjamin Defay
“Feel like reliving what it was like to be a Formula 1 driver in the 1970s? You’re in luck. Classic Racing School, a new racing school, has just opened. It’s an ambitious project launched by two young, passionate engineers, with support from the renowned single-seater manufacturer, Crosslé.”
Par Benjamin
“The world’s first historic racing school offers you the chance to drive a Crosslé 90F, an exact replica of the Crosslé 16F, on the stunning Charade Circuit, nestled in the heart of the Auvergne volcanoes. We answered the invitation of Morgan Pezzo and Julien Chaffard, the two minds behind Classic Racing School. What could this day on track possibly have in store for us?”
Stephen Dobie
« As a car in which to learn Charade and not have your stomach churned by the gradient changes, it’s flipping perfect. I’ve never got in a car and extended it as far as I dare quite so quickly, nor have I felt my confidence rise quite so tangibly. »

“ This winter, Classic Racing School brings the spirit of 1960s racing to the frozen peaks of the Alps. On the private Flaine Ice Circuit, drivers will slip behind the wheel of the legendary Crosslé 90F for a driving experience as elegant as it is exhilarating. Personal coaching, pure sensations, and breathtaking alpine scenery, a one-of-a-kind adventure to experience between January and February. ”
Mélina Priam
“A racing school featuring 70s single-seaters is a crazy enough concept as it is. But taking these Golden Age icons onto the Flaine ice circuit? That’s pure madness, and incredibly fun!”
