REIMS (FRANCE) – year 1932

Grand Prix ACF races have been held on many tracks throughout their history: Le Mans, Dieppe, Amiens, Lyon, Montlhery, Rouen,Comminges and others. However, the greatest number of these races took place at the track in Reims, where the first race of this type was organized in 1932 year. Nuvolari achieved an average speed here 148,5 km/h. The track is located near Gueux on the route between the towns of Soissons and Reims in an open space, which provides observers with good visibility. Long straight sections determine his "speed"” nature. However, there are also surprisingly sharp curves here: Thillois bend i Muizon bend. The track is technically well arranged. A spectator tunnel has been built under the racetrack. Brabham achieved the highest average speed here – 220,3 km/h – driving the Brabham-Repco car in 1966 year.
