Circuit du Luc - Informations

This circuit is a little way out of the village of Le Luc. And that's a good thing.
The layout is fairly fast but manageable for our "everyday" cars, even (especially) slightly modified ones. The circuit is well worth a visit if you're going there to have fun: there are wide run-off areas!

Driving tips:
We start in front of the pits with a fast left-hander (on club days a chicane is set up in front of the pits, so you don't arrive too fast at this left).
Straight away comes a double right that tightens towards the end, then a short straight and another, slightly faster right. Don't hesitate to use the full width of the track here, including the kerbs.
Then you tackle a nice straight leading to a fast and very enjoyable left-hander. It leads directly into a right-hand hairpin (no handbrake, unless you're struggling with your braking). So make sure you brake well before the first left, position yourself on the left for the exit of that left (you'll tend to oversteer under braking, of course... but that's fine!). Try not to miss your braking or you'll miss the apex of the right-hand hairpin; but there is a very large run-off area, so if you get it wrong, go straight on without hesitating – it's tarmac! And if someone is following you too closely, put your left indicator on and take a "wide" line, so they can pass you on the inside and above all leave you alone... if you want, of course!
This right-hand hairpin is followed immediately by a left-hand hairpin. These two corners are in front of the public. It is the only interesting spot the public can easily reach, so there are always people there. So some drivers always overdo it... but they have fun!! That's the point, isn't it?
These two hairpins lead onto a straight where horsepower and traction make the difference (thanks to the exit of the left). You tackle a fast, very long right-hand curve. Then a short straight and a very fast right-hander. You can easily take it at 140 km/h without noticing. Or much faster depending on the car, of course!
Then comes the main straight of the circuit... then heavy braking for a very enjoyable, very wide right-hander in 2nd gear, with above all a lovely kerb on the exit that is so flat it's just waiting for you!!
Then back onto the pit straight, and possibly its chicane.
