Circuit des Remparts is a historic race circuit in Angoulême, France, using the town's ancient road layout.




History


Used once in 1939 for a circuit race for Grand Prix cars and Formula Two voiturettes, The circuit had a length of 1287 metres, which was driven for 80 laps. This urban race track returned to use after World War II from 1947 to 1951 as part of the Formula 2 Championship, hosting events where famous drivers could be seen, such as Juan Manuel Fangio, Maurice Trintignant, Raymond Sommer, Robert Manzon, André Simon and the like.
Today a successful historic festival event continues, usually held in September, that gathers historic car enthusiasts for a series of races for classic and historic cars, on the original race track. It also features a "Concours d'Élégance" and a concours of car restoration.

The historic event was used as the basis for "Le Défi des Remparts" (1988), a volume of the Michel Vaillant comic book series.
