New Circuit complex in South of France!

Just back from my (motoring enthusiasts B+B) house in the south of France and the Government-backed circuit near Ales (quite near Avignon and north of the Nimes/Ledenon circuit) which is now fully operational. Will be running testing and track days down there in 2003, and with an FIA karting track and off-road/rally track it will be more like a motorsport activity day than just a track day! Come on down - Mika Hakkinen was there earlier this year too!!

track in the south of france sounds intresting as does your b+b, any idea of costs for use of track cos a few us might be down that way in may/june.
p.s dont suppose you know of anyone that does trackdays at goodwood?

Ed Moore at motorsport events does track days at Goodwood.

Hi slowboy (which I doubt very much!) - just back from new year break. I run charity activity track days at Goodwood and also through Circuit Stars where a donation is made to a UK charity, for everyone who joins in the fun at UK and French bashes. A Good Cause at Goodwood (see website for more info) is on 22 July at Goodwood and we have days in early August and possibly in March, April and May too - all at Goodwood but other circuits are available.

With regard to the brand new French circuit, the cost would be £175 per day for a minimum of 12 people and I can reduce this for more people, with a 105 db limit and a Multisport two seater sports full racing car can be hired + ARDS instructors for the day. B+B at my house (I can take 6 people)is £60 per night including massive, full English breakfast (bacon-pig has wings!)and transport to and from the circuit, bars, pubs, hotels, etc if you want to leave your cars in my secure unit there. Again, I make a donation to UK charities...nice to put something back while you have fun, isn't it.

Jenny did you ever get the track day for girls sorted?? If so how did it go and are you planning any more??

uor place in France sounds worth a visit too - keep us posted on dates and events please :)

Hi! Just back from a 4 day marathan at the Autosport Show - like the world's largest and longest cocktail party!! Have a day at Goodwood in the first week of August - any good. Looking at some dates in April onwards for the circuit in France. Any dates in mind for a Sneaky Weekend Away?

Is this otherwise know as "Circuit Du Val Vienne" (website HERE (http://www.circuit-valdevienne.com) )?

No, it is much further south than Potier where the Val Vienne circuit is based. It is brand new, only opened in July officially, with a kart track and three off road tracks as well as the circuit vitesse. Circuit hire for the day, all in, is around £2,750.

Thanks Jenny :)
