The Nîmes Lédenon track has the notable particularity of turning counterclockwise. Approved in 1973, it is certainly the most hilly, winding and technical route in the French landscape. Its 3,150 kilometers of track are a permanent call for driving pleasure, from the formidable triple left which follows the straight line from the pits to the bowl which is negotiated after an impressive dive started at the Servie horseshoe bend.
