Circuit des Remparts, Angoulême

16/09/2023 - 17/09/2023

A highlight in any car enthusiast’s diary is the annual ‘Circuit des Remparts’ weekend; this superb event sees classic cars hurtling around the ancient, twisting roads of this pretty hill-top town. The track hasn’t changed since that first race and it is one of the very few motor races to take place within the walls of a town. The course itself is very demanding, twisting around the town ramparts and containing two right-angle bends and three hairpins. There is a wonderful eclectic collection of historic cars and, as with many historic motorsport events, participants and spectators do dress accordingly.

The first “Circuit des Remparts” race was held in 1939 and further races from that date were spasmodic until 1983 when the race was revived. It has taken place each year since, bar 1989, and now holds the distinction of being the last race of its kind with only Monaco and Pau offering high speed, French city street racing.

2023 will provide the 51st edition of the famous Circuit des Remparts weekend in the Angoulême. It is not just a historic race but a celebration with concours competitions, a classic car scenic road-run through the Charente countryside in addition to a full day of vintage and classic car racing around the historic walled circuit of Angoulême.
