The 1st World Championship of 2 CV Dismantling and rebuilding
Those who have been to the French Nationals will have probably seen the scene! Two teams separated by a wall, scrambling to dismantle a 2CV, pass it through the wall with a trapezoidal hole just the size of the body shell and rebuild it on the other side, surrounded by dozens of fans screaming to encourage them… We are preparing a new version for the World Meeting! Every afternoon from 5:00pm and 7:00 pm, non-French competitors have to race against the clock to dismantle (and rebuild) an engine. The best times will be selected to make a national team and dismantle a full car on Saturday. 2CVFrance 2011 will provide the engines, the 2CVs and the tools.
