the remparts are well suited for street racing
 

 
The circuit is based in the historic high town of Angouleme and winds its way around the medieval city walls or ‘remparts’. The remparts effectively form the infield section of the circuit and serve as a convenient vantage point over 2/3 of the circuit as well as the beautiful scenery beyond. Atop the remparts is the start / finish straight as well as the imposing Cathedral St Julian and at their base the circuit’s main straightaway can be found strung out amongst the apartments and villas. The final section of track is a challenging series of hairpin bends that scale the remparts up to the finish line. The only way to get to the circuit infield is via a temporary pedestrian bridge adjacent to the paddock, however once inside virtually the entire circuit is reached with incredible ease.
