Ring, Spa, Reims & Le Mans

4 days · 4 driving roads · 34.9 miles of them · best April–October

Four days of public roads that used to be — or still are — race tracks. Touristenfahrten on the Nordschleife, the old Spa-Francorchamps triangle on the N62, the Reims-Gueux start-finish on the D27, and the Mulsanne Straight south of Le Mans. Overnight Adenau or Nürburg, then Spa or Stavelot, then Reims.

Getting there

⛴ Eurotunnel Le Shuttle — Eurotunnel, about 36 min, up to 4/hour. Check sailings.

Worth knowing: The Nordschleife is a toll road on advertised TF days only — check the calendar, buy a ticket, and do not time laps. Crash damage is not covered by ordinary UK insurance. Spa's public roads are not the modern circuit; they are the village triangle. Reims-Gueux is a D-road with the old pits still standing; it is not a track day. Mulsanne is an ordinary fast French D-road with a 90 limit and police who know why you came. Book Nürburg months ahead if a 24h or GT weekend is on.
