Track Length: 2.361 miles

Located 10 miles north of Dijon.

Opening in 1972, this track hosted both French and Swiss F1 Grand Prix's. It suffered from being slightly too short, and despite being extended from 2.044 miles with the addition of Parabolique, the Grand Prix eventually left. The circuit is best remembered for the 1979 French GP, when Rene Arnoux and Gilles Villeneuve battled for second place, repeatedly swapping places and banging wheels in the closing laps. Today the track hosts national championships, together with GT racing.
