Circuit de Croix-en-Ternois, race track in France
The Circuit de Croix-en-Ternois is a racing track in northern France where both cars and motorcycles race, stretching about 1.9 kilometers with a width of roughly 9 meters. The course features tight, technical corners and straights equipped with safety barriers and gravel traps designed to protect drivers and spectators.
The track was founded in 1973 by a group of motorsport enthusiasts and quickly became an important venue for Formula 3 racing and European competitions. Over the decades it served as a testing ground for professional racing teams and developed young drivers who went on to international success.
The circuit's name reflects its location near the town of Croix-en-Ternois, and the venue embodies a local passion for motorsport that runs deep in the community. Drivers and riders from the region view this place as a central meeting point where amateurs and accomplished racers share their skills and push each other to improve.
Access is via the D941 road branching from the D101, with ample parking available on site. Visitors should check the racing calendar to plan attendance for race days and spectator events, keeping in mind that northern France weather can be cool and damp with visibility changing throughout the day.
The track underwent major reshaping in 2012 with the addition of the new Virage du Pont section that made passing easier and earned it modern FIA Grade 3 certification. Renault once presented new vehicles here in front of crowds, showing the circuit's importance to the French motorsport industry.
