rouen circuit

[littlegearl]

last year us intreped explorers planned to find the rouen-les-essarts circuit on the way down to le mans... but in the end we ran out of time and decided not to as we really had no idea where to look!!!

this year we have a bit more time and it might be a bit of an interesting driving break

ok, so i know the circuit doesn't exsist but the public roads it was on are still there so i was wondering if any of you have stopped off there and know where it is?

and if you can give me directions to it... like from the tunnel as that seems to be a good landmark to use... cheers!

cheers, though if anyone can come up with a better map that would be even more useful!!!

also, whilst on the subject of old french racing circuits... anyone know if reims is on the calais-rouen-alecon route!?!

i know you can get to it on the way 2 lemans and i think i know roughly where it is but don't know exactly... any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

yeah i think the pits have been demolished at both rouen and reims, rouen will be easier to find as i roughly know where it is...

wont be heading to reims then, might make a 20 minute detour off the autoroute at rouen but it depends on the tunnel situation!!!

can't be arsed to feck around all day finding it, just thought it'd be fun to scream round the bends from the pits, down into the hairpin and blast up the hill on the otherside, through the twisties then on to the long, long straight...

in fact, i may have to break out my copy of gpl

i know they've demolished the pits at rouen, perhaps not reims... i thought they were going to so perhaps they've decided against the idea...

i think reims is more "on route" if we were to go via paris... but we're not!!!
