Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours, Motorsport racing track in Magny-Cours, France
Description
Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours is a motorsport racing track in Magny-Cours that runs for 4.4 kilometers and includes 17 corners. The long straight before the first hairpin allows overtaking and takes drivers from the starting line to the section called Adelaide hairpin.
History
Jean Bernigaud opened the track in 1960 as a small national course for French racing. From 1991 it became the venue for the Formula One French Grand Prix and kept that role until 2008.
Culture
Students at the automotive institute on site work on racing projects while the French single-seater conservatory restores and displays historic race cars. Visitors can see workshops where young engineers learn and old racing machines come back to life.
Practical
The track lies 250 kilometers south of Paris and can be reached via the A77 motorway from the north or the N7 road from the south. Event days bring many spectators, so arriving early and parking in the marked areas outside the racing facility is advisable.
Did you know?
Michael Schumacher achieved his eighth win at the same Grand Prix here in 2006, something nobody in Formula One had done before. That record fell on a track known as technically demanding but with few natural elevation changes.
