| Description | Circuit used for Tunisian GP in 1931-1933 and 1935-1937. Drivers appreciated it very much but two chicanes (the one on main straight was removed for 1935 edition only) Comparing photos on Ruoteclassiche to map on racingcircuits.net, I think that direction was clockwise | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Due to technical problems, temporarily it’s no longer possible to see the circuits on Google Maps embedded in the current page.
This feature will be restored as soon as I figure out how to do (any help would be appreciated!)
