Also of Interest about Nevers Magny Cours

A scenic university town in Central France, a weekend cultural festival (during the F1™ weekend), a packed lunch with local cheeses & wines of Burgundy, & several of the major world race series on one of the world's most famous circuits. Could you want more?
It can get hot, though, particularly in mid-summer, being so far from the coast. In June 2002 it was so hot on race day, in fact, that circuit workers had to shower the throngs packed into the general admission area with water from a fire truck.
It's about 200KMs/120MIs from Paris Hotels , but there's a train.
Take your suntan lotion, take your picnic basket and loads of ice, and, oh yeah, pack your camping gear, we're going racing in France. Here's most of the info you'll need to get you there & back safely.

On this page you'll find Hotels near Circuit Magny Cours Nevers France, home of the French Formula 1 Grand Prix and WSB-K event (used to be season closer) but that changed in 2008). Gotta tell you though, and I know, because I've spent too much money in one direction, and not had nearly as much return per euro - Nevers, the track, the folks, the fun is sooooooooooooooo much better on Superbike weekend, like Misano only French and without the beach! Ride in, Camp, Party like there's no tomorrow!
Godspeed on all your racing travels, Cvetko Ostroznik
