Title: Circuit de Reims
Post by: Big Lad on May 29, 2004, 06:27:33 pm
On the way back from Le Mans this year I would like to take a short (90 mile ) detour to see what remains of the Circuit de Reims.
For those that do not know, this was a very fast road circuit used as a French and European GP circuit in the 1920s through to the early 1970s when it was closed. However, some of the old grandstands and pits still existed (albeit in a dilapidated state) on the N31 road up until about five years ago.
I thought it might provide us with a nice photo opportunity (as well as stocking up on Reims finest for the ladeez in our lives) but I am a little unsure whether it is still possible to access the buildings.
Has anyone been in the last couple of years who might know?
