Chimay Street Circuit, street circuit in Belgium
Chimay Street Circuit is a racing course that uses the streets of the Belgian town of Chimay for cars and motorcycles. The layout winds through residential areas with tight corners and straight sections, and safety barriers are set up during events to close off the roads from regular traffic.
The first race took place in 1929, organized by local motorsport enthusiast Jules Buisseret and called the Grand Prix des Frontières, combining car and motorcycle racing. The course was modified multiple times over the decades with shortenings and safety improvements, until racing on the original layout was halted after a fatal accident in 1992.
The circuit holds deep meaning for the local community as a place where motorsport tradition runs strong. During race events, residents and visitors gather along the course to watch, creating a shared sense of celebration and pride in the town's racing heritage.
The circuit is located on the northern edge of Chimay, about two hours by car from Brussels and easily accessible by road. Race events typically occur during the summer months, so it is wise to check the event schedule in advance and bring weather-appropriate clothing when attending.
The circuit is known for hosting the Trophée des Motos Classiques, a race for classic motorcycles that attracts enthusiasts who want to ride vintage machines on a real street course. This makes it a rare venue where the past and present of motorsport come together in an authentic setting.
