Trackdays – Driving on the Dijon-Prenois circuit

Trackdays limited to 55 enrolments for 25 vehicles on the track at any one time (open pit lane).

Depending on the type of vehicle, we reserve the right to organise the day in two series.

 

The concept of our Trackdays

Come and drive your sports car on the Dijon-Prenois circuit, a former Formula 1 circuit in the 70s and 80s! Discover its fast 3.8km long track in complete safety during one of our friendly track days  supervised by our team of experienced driving instructors.

We have been organising these Trackdays for several years now. Every year we organize about 50 Trackdays on some of the most beautiful circuits in France: Charade, Magny-Cours, Le Mans, Castellet, Dijon-Prenois, Nogaro, Val de Vienne, Mas du Clos, etc…

 

Safety and quality of driving are our main priorities:

  • We attach particular attention to the compliance of the safety regulations on the track. Drivers who are responsible for dangerous driving will be cautioned and if necessary banned from driving on the circuit.
  • We limit the number of drivers on the track in order to provide optimum driving conditions.
  • We limit the number of enrolments in order to maximize driving time with an open pit lane.
  • We accept with pleasure racing teams who will be able to integrate respectfully into our days alongside our regular drivers.

 

The Dijon-Prenois circuit

Created in 1972, the Dijon-Prenois race track was originally 3.3 km long before being extended  in  1975 to its current length of 3.8km.For several years the circuit hosted the French Formula 1 Grand Prix race. What is remembered is that Alain Prost won his first race here and Nikki Lauda was the last race winner in 1984…

Still today, the circuit hosts numerous car and motorcycle races: French Circuit Cup, the Grand Prix de l’Age d’Or, the Ultimate Cup Moto, the Historic Tour etc…

Drivers appreciate this very fast circuit for its long straight, its long curves and its up and down gradient of 14°.
