If you passed by the city center of Belfort this Saturday July 30 at the beginning of the afternoon, you must have seen a lot of Peugeot 205s… and for good reason! More than 250 cars set off from the Arsenal car park for the new edition of the Europ’Raid. Founded in 2013, this race is a kind of 4L Trophy, but this one honors one of the most famous models of the Franche-Comté firm.
In 22 days, participants will cross 20 countries to reach Eastern Europe and deliver school materials to underprivileged children.

The participants come from all over France. Baptiste, Paul and Johan, them, are from Clisson, near Nantes. “We picked up a second-hand 205, we fixed it up, we got sponsors etc… It’s great to travel around Europe with a vehicle like that, there’s a real adventure side to it!“explain the three students.

For participants, the return to France is scheduled for Saturday 20 August.
