France to host the world's top amateur
drivers
Monday, January 25, 2010 - by John Manzi,

Association
Monticello, NY --- The 2010 World Cup of
Amateur Driving will be held in France, July
19 through July 25, 2010, and once again the
North American Amateur Drivers Association (NAADA)
will be represented in the prestigious
international driving competition.
The events will be contested in Paris, with
at least 12 countries participating.
“During the last World Cup, which was held
in 2008 at six different American racetracks,
the French did send two reps over to the
USA, even though they did not have a
participant who qualified to compete in the
event,” NAADA President Joe Faraldo said.
“They sent people here to see the excellent
work of the track operators and horsemen in
Illinois, New Jersey and New York, and then
they planned some of their programs after
the U.S. models. It turned out to be a great
compliment to the work of all in our sport
who showed our own brand of hospitality to
our invading guests.
"Now, during the upcoming months, NADDA will
be looking for the appropriate gentleman or lady
to represent us in the City of Lights this
year.”
