A question for Gilles or anyone else who might know...

I'm planning another trip to France and want to stop at the Old Grand Prix Circuit in Riems on the way through for the obligatory photo-shoot.

Can anyone confirm it is still there - I've read on various sites that it was due for demolition?

Cheers

You don't win Le Mans - you outlast it.

Reims, you most surely mean Reims. The circuit doesn't exist anymore but there are some buildings still left alongside what was once the start/finish straight. It's a perfect scenery for some picturesque photo shots. Ahh, and the champagne...  Cheesy

There's some great pics here and a BP Logo Patio up for grabs if anyone's interested?

I'm sure i remember them saying last year they where looking into holding a revival style meeting there. It would seem a criminal waste if they just knocked them down.
Gilles get on to the town council, tell them to pop over to the Goodwood revival and see what a moneyspinner they could be on to. Better still arrange it yourself and allow free entry for all Club Arnage people!! Wink

There was talk of a revival meeting at Reims a few years ago. Unfortunately it never happened, and now it's too late - they've built over Thillois and messed about with the road between the pits and Gueux, and the grandstands and pits are mere concrete skeletons.
Dream on, but visit before it's too late.

The revival was a corking idea and the trip was planned but alas nobody had told the local council (well, not quite, but it was the closure of the main road requirement that basically scuppered it all).

Anyway, visited in May 1998 and took the following, just to whet the appetite. As Kpy says, visit before it is too late........

Cheers
