Nevers Magny-Cours racing track: the guide to a successful driving experience

Experience the adrenalin rush of racing as you tame the car of your dreams on one of the world's most legendary circuits: Magny-Cours! Take up the challenge of a driving course and become a driver for a day - the future ace of the wheel could be you!

History

The famous Magny-Cours circuit is located in Burgundy, about fifteen kilometers from the town of Nièvre.

Opened in 1959, the site comprises three tracks: the Grand Prix track, the Club track and the karting track, accommodating cars, motorcycles and single-seaters.

Various sporting events are regularly held on the site: the Tour Auto, the World Superbike Championship, a stage of the Paris-Nice race in 2014...

But it was above all the hosting of the French Formula 1 Grand Prix between 1991 and 2008 that made the circuit famous.

Top drivers such as Alain Prost, Fernando Alonso and Michael Schumacher have all enjoyed success here.

Technical features and layout

The site is a vast motorsports complex with all the facilities required for driving a car or motorcycle in the best possible conditions. Three asphalt tracks covering 350 hectares provide an ideal training ground.

The Club track is used for driving courses. 2530 meters long and 10 meters wide. With a 700-meter straight line, it's the perfect opportunity to step on the gas and enjoy the joys of high-speed driving.

The Grand Prix track is 4411 metres long and features some of the most challenging corners on the world's most prestigious circuits. In short: a technical layout, a billiard-like surface, 17 bends, long straights and heavy braking.
