The strip was first used in 1985. At a slight kink to the left, the strip runs in almost a straight line. However, the strip slopes slightly and that is where the danger lies. Especially in the places where there are side roads, there are a few large potholes in the road. The rest of the strip is quite doable and the three star designation seems justified.
The official name of the road is really great: Branche d'Enfer.
