| Description | This track layout hosted 1st Trophée de Cognac (a F.3 event) on August 8th 1964 and a stage of Tour de France on September 15th 1964. I don’t know if it was used also in previous years or if it was inaugurated in 1964. I don’t know direction of the circuit. Below, when indicating length of straights and corners I suppose it was clockwise, but I could be wrong | ||||
