'Terre' is the French word for gravel.
Almost all cars are allowed to drive there: WRC, Group A, Group N, S2000, S1600, Kit Car's, R3 and R2 cars, Historic cars, 2WD cars... Good news is that older cars like as example a Celica GT-Four, Celica Turbo 4WD, Escort RS Cosworth, Impreza 555, 306 Maxi and even Lancia Delta Integrale are allowed. :) If your client drives a Group N Mitsubishi or Subaru, he can drive with a bigger restrictor in Group A if he want.
There is a Peugeot 207 R3T Cup with this weekend Brice Tirabassi as a driver. Foreign drivers in that cup are Laurent Reuche from Switzerland and Karl-Friedrich Beck from Germany.
