Circuit De Nevers is not considered to be an out-dated track although upgrades are talking place in a bid to keep the race on the Formula One calendar.

It was opened to grand prix in 1991 following a massive upgrading of the old club racing circuit. The then French President Mitterand took a keen interest in the project, as it took riches into a largely rural environment.

The actual circuit is a mix of slow corners and tight hairpins.

Take the chance to call in at the Ligier F1 museum and see 16 cars together with various other team memorabilia and photographs. The Motor Sports Museum also depicts Renault's motor racing history.
