TUN - TUNISIA
CARTHAGE
SORRY, SOME DATA ARE NOT TRANSLATED YET
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
