Circuit Paul Armagnac, also known as Circuit de Nogaro, is a motorsport race track located in the commune of Nogaro in the Gers department in southwestern France. The track is named in honor of Nogaro-born racing driver Paul Armagnac, who died in an accident during practice for the 1962 1000 km de Paris at the Montlhéry circuit.[1]

History

Motorsports racing events in Nogaro were first organized when racing driver Paul Armagnac and Robert Castagnon created the Association Sportive Automobile de l'Armagnac. In 1953, the Rallye de l'Armagnac was held on a street circuit using public roads around Nogaro. Public safety concerns after the 1955 Le Mans disaster caused the number of road racing events on public roads in Europe to decrease. Plans were made to create a permanent race circuit and construction began in 1959 at a site near the Nogaro airport.Шаблон:Fact

The race circuit opened on 3 October 1960 as the first purpose-built race circuit in France.[2][3][4] The first race held at the new circuit was the Nogaro Grand Prix for Formula Junior cars, won by Bruno Basini.[2] Initially Шаблон:Convert long, it was expanded in 1973 and 1989 to its current Шаблон:Convert length. In 2007 the circuit was modernized including a new control tower, a new pitlane and widening the track to Шаблон:Convert.

The venue hosted Formula Two championship races from 1975 to 1978. It also hosted the French motorcycle Grand Prix in 1978 and 1982. The Nogaro circuit also hosted the European Touring Car Championship from 1985 to 1988.Шаблон:Fact
