#CircuitDeReimsGueux

The Circuit de Reims-Gueux was a historic semi-permanent racing track located in Gueux, approximately 7.5 km west of Reims, in the Champagne region of northeastern France. Established in 1926 as the second venue for the Grand Prix de la Marne, it quickly rose to prominence in international motorsport. The original triangular layout was formed using public roads that connected the villages of Thillois and Gueux via the La Garenne intersection on the Route nationale 31. The circuit became famous for its high-speed character, defined by two exceptionally long straights—each around 2.2 km in length—that made it one of the fastest circuits of its era. These long straights encouraged dramatic slipstream battles, earning Reims-Gueux a reputation similar to Monza as a "temple of speed." Over the years, the circuit was modified several times (notably in 1932, 1938, and 1952) to accommodate higher speeds and improve safety, before its final closure in 1972. Today, much of the pit complex and grandstands remain preserved as a historical monument to French motorsport heritage.
