Training Le Luc, Var · report

Formula – race training

A single-seater, a narrow cockpit just above the tarmac, helmet and suit – the first laps teach humility.

The Danske Gas team trains at AGS (Automobiles Gonfaronnaises Sportives) – a marque from Gonfaron in the Provençal Var. AGS grew out of mechanic Henri Julien’s workshop and was a Formula 1 constructor.

Today AGS runs its driving school in Le Luc, with private access to the Circuit du Var and genuine F1 cars.
