Bugatti Circuit
Encyclopedia : B : BU : BUG : Bugatti Circuit
The Bugatti Circuit is a race track located in Le Mans, France named after Ettore Bugatti. Although the whole track is not used for the famous 24 hours of Le Mans race, several parts are used. The sections of track on the Bugatti Circuit that are on the 24 Hour Circuit include the Ford Chicane at the end of the lap, the pit complex, and the straight where the Dunlop Tires bridge is at. At this point, you will come to a T in the road and if you go left, you continue the Le Mans circuit toward Terte-Rouge and Mulsanne, but if you turn right, you will continue the Bugatti Circuit. The track is home base for famous former-French driver and current team owner Henri Pescarolo. The circuit also hosts the 24 Hours of Le Mans motorcycle race, and a round of the Moto GP Championship, also for motorcycles. The circuit also holds French club races.
