We’ve had a number of people enquire about attending both Mas du Clos and Dijon Prenois, especially from UK & Germany. Thus, we’ve decided to offer a package.
Our plan is to drive just over 3hrs straight after the Mas du Clos track day, arriving at our hotel approx. 20.30. Then drive the remaining 45 minutes to Dijon Prenois circuit on the Tuesday morning, it takes 25 minutes from our normal Dijon hotel to get to the circuit on the morning anyway.
If anyone wants to travel with a group we will look at a group hotel for the Sunday & Monday nights – just let us know in comments when booking the package.
Mas Du Clos – One of the top 5 circuits we’ve ever visited. Mas du Clos is truly wonderful, situated in the heart of the Massif Central it’s not only a great circuit but a great place to visit. After being a central circuit to a number of French Frolic’s many years ago now. The circuit was closed down. After extensive works during 2021 & 2022 Mas du Clos reopens towards the end of 2022.
Dijon Prenois – 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.
Car Type: Strictly 2 seater road legal sports cars only. For further infomation please view our FAQ here.
General circuit information: Mas Du Clos / Dijon Prenois
Noise limit: 97db static / 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.
