    Circuit history

    Motor racing at Reims started in 1926 with the second Grand Prix de la Marne, relocating the race from the square-shaped 22 km (14 mi) Circuit de Beine-Nauroy east of Reims to Reims-Gueux, west of Reims. The original 7.816 km (4.857 mi) circuit placed the start/finish line on road D27, approximately 1.6 km (0.99 mi) east of the Gueux village center, where it would remain for the duration of the circuit. This variant of the circuit was made up entirely of long straights, flat-out kinks, 2 tight angular corners and a sharp hairpin, which made it very hard on engines, brakes and fuel consumption. Gradual improvements in track width to a few sections including the Garenne-Gueux / Thillois corners prior to the 1932 Grand Prix de France contributed to a new published circuit length of 7.826 km (4.863 mi) after which the circuit remained essentially the same until 1937.

    The last year for Formula One at Reims came in 1966, final sports car competitions were held in 1969 and Motorcycle racing continued for another 3 years. In 1972, Reims-Gueux closed permanently due to financial difficulties. There was to be a historic race held in 1997 but it was cancelled for technical reasons several months before it was due to take place and by 2002, the bulldozers arrived to demolish some portions of the track. A few sections of the old circuit are still visible today around the pit lane, at the D26 / D27 round-about and a part of the D26 extension at the Hovette corner to what once was the 1953 Muizon hair-pin

    Really excited for this one, always loved Sergio's tracks!!!

    I just wanted to double check on start times to make sure I can get to the events around my work schedule; my account is set to my local US Time Zone and says the races are at 8:20 PM - does that sound about right? Evening US/Late night EU time?

    Gotcha!! I'm excited to see what the times are, hopefully I can make it work around my work schedule, 3 month long shift bids so I'll wait and see what I get, sign up on the off chance and cancel/withdraw my entries for which races I can't make if so

    Thanks Mr VDG! Really excited for this one

    :rolleyes:
