IHRO returns to the Magny Cours track for the first time since 2005 when we are delighted to be involved again with the Bol d’Or Classic meeting.

The track is a modern, smooth circuit with good facilities for the teams and spectators. It is a technical circuit which is a real challenge to get correct but is still good fun to race on. Many corners are modelled on famous turns from other circuits, and are named after those circuits, e.g. the fast Estoril corner and the Adelaide hairpin. It has a mix of slow hairpins and high-speed chicane sections which includes a long fast straight into the first-gear Adelaide hairpin. The circuit is very flat with negligible change in elevation, only a small valley at the Estoril corner and a slight hill near the Lycee corner, and doesn’t provide tremendous overtaking opportunities, despite modifications in 2003.
