Arguably one of Europe’s top 5 circuits with a history to match the circuit. Home to half a dozen Grand Prixs including the Swiss GP as well as the French. Probably most famous for one of the best races in F1s history when in 1979 the late Gilles Villeneuve and René Arnoux locked horns.

If coming from the UK why not make the most with a long weekend – Reims is an ideal stop off on the way or if traveling from the north or head out on Monday via Eurotunnel for approx £50 return, its a 4-5 hr drive to Dijon from Calais, stay in Dijon on Monday night then return to the UK after the track day.
Car Type: Strictly 2 seater road legal sports cars only. For further infomation please view our FAQ here.
General circuit information: HERE
Noise limit: 100db drive by
Static test – A noise meter is placed at a 45 degree angle to the exhaust outlet and 50cm away. The car is then held at 3/4 of its maximum rev limit and the highest reading recorded is the cars recorded noise output for the day. A static limit of 105db is very high and very few cars have an issue with this. At 98db cars with a cat, std factory manifolds and exhausts will generally be ok. Anyone with a very loud exhaust/manifold should be careful.
Drive by – This test is recorded at track side as the car is moving at track speed. Depending on the circuit the reading will be taken between right next to the track and up to 20 meters away. Cars with forced induction tend to have more issues with drive by, even though they tend to pass static tests as the s/c or turbo’s only kick in when run at speed. There are many things that affect drive by readings from wind direction, air temperature, how low the cloud cover is or even what line you are driving.
