Reims Today, the old GP track. - SV650.org

14-02-10, 10:16 PM

On the way back from the Alps yesterday/today I took a slight detour and avoided all toll roads. Top marks go to Lizard's (from Lizard Logistics .com) recommendation of the Dijon to Troyes road, awesome, even in the dark after a few hours kip in the Pug just outside of Dijon. I made Reims with the sun out and a sprinkling of snow.

Eerie in the silence.

RIP

And following part of the post war circuit:

A nice detour B)

I am gonna be in that area in the summer. Could you put a link on google maps showing exactly where that is and which road you took.

Was it this one?

Cheers mate.

Should work as the map of the track.

just as well you werent on two wheels that day Tim!

Can you see the rest of it, or just the main straight ?

I visited about 2/3rds of the track, it all used to be main roads, but many parts have been altered, one section doesn't exist etc. The only bit that looks like a track is around the stands/pits, apart from that you wouldn't realise it was a race track.
