Latest update from Formula Ford Historic France for the "Forecast" 2022 Calendar adds two dates:

20/22 May: Grand Prix de Pau Historique (Pau)
17-19 June: Grand Prix de France Historique (Paul Ricard, Le Castellet)

The Historic FF1600 event at Le Castellet this year was very well supported with a 50-60 car entry, all racing on a single grid, but it can be (and was!) very hot at Le Castellet in June. I was really surprised and pleased to see the Pau date appear. I thought we were not going to get further racing opportunities there. I don't know what other categories are scheduled to race at Pau.

It isn't quite clear if the two Calendar additions are part of the French Historic Championship, I'm trying to find out. If they are part of the championship that would mean it will be 8 events/16 races with a big gap mid June to early September.

The other French Championship for 67-92 FF1600s + FF Zetecs usually shares the same dates as the French Historic Formula Fords, but I suspect it may not include Pau in 2022. It also continues to show a provisional event at Spa sometime after mid June, but this may just be a "syncing" issue.
