2020 Les 5 Étoiles de Pau Plans to Continue as Scheduled
We are currently receiving a lot of questions about this year's event. We will keep working on the 2020 vintage of Les 5 Étoiles de Pau (a CCI5*-L event and FEI Driving World Championship for singles) - a great celebration marking the 30th edition of this event and included in the agenda of the best riders and drivers in the world.
For our 40,000 visitors who eagerly wait for the event each year, and the one million online viewers; for our 150 sponsors and suppliers who rely on us; for our 100 exhibitors who are preparing their tradestands; for the territory in which we are rooted in, each year promoted through the event; for the riders and drivers who are looking forward to competing in this exceptional sports meeting - the team is going to spare no effort, and do everything possible to make Les 5 Étoiles de Pau happen this year, while of course respecting the health requirements that may be necessary.
We would like to thank our sponsors who have reaffirmed their confidence despite their own difficulties, the visitors who keep purchasing their tickets, the exhibitors and their willingness to participate, as well as the Pau event volunteers who have registered - we need your support to keep going. You are helping to make this 30th edition a special one, with a unique meaning. See you on October 21-25, 2020!
