When was the track built?
The idea of having a circuit in the Paris area have been pushed various times by different people, including a Disneyland street course, especially after France lost its national GP.
Only one became a solid option, although it has never seen the light, mainly due to lack of funding.
The Yvelines area in the north of the capital was chosen as it is in a department rich of automotive industries and able to attract many fans.
With the new Formula 1 organization being more profitable for investment, the project has been re-launched and it will become part of the rotation from 2023.
When was its first Grand Prix?
It will host its first ever Formula 1 GP.
It is one of the eight French circuits that will rotate for spots in the European and World Title series.
What’s the circuit like?
It is suitable to most motorsport series thanks to its wide long sweeping corners.
It features two long straights with a tricky first braking zone at Turn 3 after a fast chicane at T1-2.
Also notable the triple-apex Turn 5-6-7 and the banked hairpin at Turn 14.
It is surrounded by stands to create the stadium atmosphere.
Overtaking and interesting GPs are definitely possible around here.
