Circuit du Grand Sambuc
Chemin départemental 11
13126 Vauvenargues
France
Set in an exceptional natural environment, this small circuit is ideal for corporate events or driving courses.
The run-off areas are too small to really let yourself go. On the other hand... there are fewer offs than elsewhere, which in the end is better for the cars!
Driving tips:
Out of the pits, keep well to the left.
Long main straight: the fastest cars go over 180 km/h. Very hard braking for a right-hander in 2nd or 3rd gear.
Then accelerate again to reach a tight, off-camber chicane, left/right in 2nd. (There is a run-off area straight ahead of the braking zone if you miss it...)
Accelerate again, then another left/right, faster this time, in 3rd. The exit is tricky though, with little run-off.
Climb up to the "snail". You enter a right-hander in 2nd or 3rd whose apex is at the top of a big crest. A strong rear-end slide... is likely!
Brake in the middle of the crest and finish with a right-hand hairpin in 2nd. Then a very fast left-hander leading onto the straight.
Keep well to the right when passing the pits.
