Trackday 8 June 2026

The circuit was conceived in 1970 by motorsport enthusiasts Jean-Claude and Sylvie Bondurand, and officially approved for use on 16 June 1973, although the first significant races (rounds of the Super Touring and Formula Renault championships) were not held until 1977. Lédenon is renowned in French and European trackday circles for its dramatic and constant elevation changes — almost no lap section is flat — and for being one of very few anticlockwise circuits in France. Famous sections include the high-speed downhill "Pont" (Bridge) sequence that requires absolute commitment, the panoramic right-hander Virage du Panorama, the technical S de la Source and the final long sweeping Parabolique that leads onto the main straight. The combination of altitude change, blind crests and an anticlockwise direction makes Lédenon physically and mentally demanding — riders frequently describe it as a "miniature Spa-Francorchamps". The circuit hosts French national car and motorcycle championship rounds, the FFM Coupes de France Promosport and an extensive trackday programme.
