![Pit Stop at an Abandoned F1 Circuit! Reims-Gueux [NSX International: Volume 2] @LapoftheWorld](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Tc4-X0KSvfg/maxresdefault.jpg)
Uploaded August 2025 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
En Route to LeMans, we take a pit stop at a lost Formula 1 Circuit outside of Reims, France. One of the fastest tracks in Europe, Circuit de Reims-Gueux hosted the French Grand Prix on several occasions in addition to top level sportscar racing up until 1972. Now the stands and pits remain as a monument to that era of motorsports.
