The Reims-Gueux circuit in the Champagne region of France was a grand prix motor racing venue on public roads from its opening in 1926 until closure in 1972.  Famous for its long straights, remnants of the infrastructure still stand today like ghosts of the past and walking in the buildings brings an eerie feeling of noise, colour, spectacle and danger, imagining what it was like and who had trodden where we now were.

I’d been once before with Rennie in the summer of 2018 where arriving just before sunset had amplified the eerie feeling, but this time enjoyed arriving by motorcycle with my son and explaining a little of the history.

Another priceless memory.
