A joyous festival of historic motorsport deep within France's Nouvelle-Aquitaine region awaits. 2023 will see the 51st edition of the famous “Circuit des Remparts” weekend in the French town of Angoulême. So much more than just historic racing, the weekend comprises of concours competitions, a classic car scenic road-run through the Charente countryside, as well as a whole day of vintage and classic car racing around the historic walled circuit of the old town of Angoulême.
Motorsport Travel Destinations have been organising tours to this event for more than 20 years, and yet it is difficult to describe the magnificent atmosphere which grips the town during the Circuit des Remparts weekend. The narrow, pedestrianised streets of the old town are buzzing with cafes and bars, filled with people relaxing and chatting about the various cars that they have spotted. There are car displays around every corner and social events throughout the weekend that make this event so memorable.
Circuit des Remparts is steeped in motorsport history and heritage. Some of history’s greatest drivers raced around the streets, including five-time Formula 1 World Champion Juan Manuel Fangio and fellow champions Alberto Ascari and Mike Hawthorn.
