Motorcycle news

I realize that not many people get to visit the Magny-Cours circuit here in France, let alone visit the “special” and off-limit areas. So after my little visit to the circuit for the FIM e-Power race (which wasn’t much of a race), I’ve decided to show you a lot of photos of the circuit. Most of them were taken really early in the morning (Friday 13th). Magny-Cours, together with the Le Mans Bugatti circuit are the two main race circuits in France, hosting races for the MotoGP, World SuperBike, Formula 1 and of course the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This weekend was the other large 24 hours endurance motorcycle race, that of the Bol d’Or.

The one thing you’ll notice at this circuit, the same as with the other French motorcycle races, is the incredible noise, 24 hours per day. It’s not the race bikes, but the bikers who have come to attend the race and are camping around the circuit. All the time, and I mean all the time, there are several who are revving up their bikes, spitting and flaming. At 6 AM in the morning of the 13th you could still hear them. A pity if you need to sleep….

Here are 44 photos of the circuit I’ve taken. You can click on any photo for a bigger version, but if you are going to do that, let the whole page load with all its photos.
