“Selon la composition du plateau, nous nous réservons le droit d’organiser la journée en deux séries.”

During one of our track days, take advantage of ideal driving conditions thanks to a limited number of vehicles enrolled on the track.

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 know how to fit in and drive alongside our regular drivers.
