The concept of our Trackdays
Come and drive your car on the circuit du Val de Vienne, also known as the Vigeant circuit. Participate in one of our friendly track days .There are 7 hours of driving time, without specific vehicle categories, with an open pit lane in order to maximise your driving time.
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, Le Castellet, Dijon-Prenois, Nogaro, Val de Vienne, Le 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.
