🇫🇷Circuit de Bresse

Circuit de Bresse is a 2.5 km, 15-corner motor racing circuit at Frontenaud in the Saône-et-Loire department of southern Burgundy, France — around 1 hour from Lyon and Dijon and 1.5 hours from Geneva, in the flat Bresse plain region famed for its poultry farming. The 55-hectare mechanical sports complex opened its main speed circuit for cars and motorcycles in 2006, with an adjacent kart track following in 2007. (The circuit should not be confused with the earlier Vennes speed circuit, opened in 1954 near Bourg-en-Bresse, which hosted national French speed trials from 1954 to the early 1970s.) The technical 15-turn layout features decent elevation changes, tight multi-apex corners, long straights and fast-paced sweeping turns. Speeds drop to 60 km/h at the multi-apex Turn 2 before climbing to over 200 km/h on the fastest straight after Turn 3. Circuit de Bresse hosts French national and regional motorcycle and car championship rounds, the Coupes de France Promosport and a busy trackday programme drawing riders from the Lyon, Geneva, Italian and Swiss scenes.
