Motorised sports
A passion for automobiles
The Var's automobile sector has been able to carve out its own position in the heart of one of the top French industrial sectors (sales worth 100 billion euros - 10% of the working population), by specialising in the motorised sports and top-of-the-range vehicle segments.This booming activity, fuelled by passion in the close proximity of high technology, that promises to thrive on innovation, has behind it:
- 2 racing circuits of world renown and a roadway system that make the Var the region's leading department when it comes to hosting national and international races and rallies.
- A network of 50 firms working in all areas of motorised sports (design, manufacture, driving schools, marketing…).
- Many racing drivers and teams are based in the Var: Ange Barde, four times European champion of the European Ferrari Challenge, Tech3, the world GP championship works team, Oreca Team…
- Real expertise, handed on by a number of training and reseach centres.
- A high concentration of motorbikers (the region boasts the second highest motorbiking population in France) and Europe's major motorbike dealers.
- The organisation of specialist events: the Harley Davidson Eurofestival at Saint-Tropez, a stage in the Dark Dog Moto Tour... Var Accueil Investisseur offers guidance in motorised sports business ventures.
