Coupe de Paris
From Formula Rejects Wiki
The Coupe De Paris, called in 1945 the Robert Benoist Cup, is a motor racing event held in Paris. It was originally held in 1939 as an event in the Autodrom Linas-Montlhery before WW2 put a halt on motor racing. However, a week after the end of the war, racing resumed, this time at a circuit on Bois de Bologne, with the name of the Robert Benoist Cup. The race continued to be held until 1952, alternating between Montlhery and Bologne. The event was revived in 2020 in the new Circuit Charles de Gaulle, for the 75th anniversary of the 1945 running, as an F3 event.
