MSV to Take Over the World! (Well, next stop France)

Not seen anyone post this yet, they (Motorsport Vision) have just bough a big airbase near Reims. Located here:

Looks like their plans are for a Bedford type setup, trackdays and corporate things with the view of holding a number of race events.

Potentially the Sebring of France and only 2hrs from Calais!!

Some interesting forest roads between the site and the D543E / La Bovette - perhaps an ammo store? That would make a great S/V rally stage

This has been long planned. A couple of the MSV bods were talking about it months ago at an event I attended.

Its been going on behind the scenes for several years now.

I hope they can make an interesting circuit, despite it being an old airfield. Hills, crests and gradients make things more interesting!

I suspect it'll be a bit like Bedford autodrome - not really a bad thing. There are classic circuits already in the portfolio.

I wonder what the noise regs are like in France.

I’m just surprised that it has taken this long for MSV to spread across the channel. I guess it was just how much red tape was involved and finding the best location. Good luck to them.

Hopefully they won't have any nearby residents opposing the idea.
