Here is an unusual place! This former Formula 1 racing car circuit from the 1960s has been preserved as is. It was also used by cyclists. The Dutchman Theo Middelkamp won the road cycling world champion there on August 3, 1947. If you feel like it, come and sprint on these long asphalt straight lines. There is no longer anyone in the stands, but nothing prevents you from imagining the atmosphere then.

During the cycling world championship in 1947, the street competitions took place at the Reims location (the train riders drove in Paris).
Theo Middelkamp from the Netherlands won the road cycling world champion here on August 3, 1947, between the old grandstands of the Reims automobile race track that are still preserved today.
