    From Paris..

    Croix-en Ternois - 230km.
    Dijon - about 300km
    Le Mans Bugatti - 200km
    Magny Cours - 260km
    Nogaro - 700km

    If anyone else knows some of the less well known tracks they may be able to help....

    I heard the Paris Street Course is pretty challenging. Just ask this guy.

    I think the only thing is you need to make sure to tackle it around daybreak on a Sunday morning to get the fastest times.

    To be honest I don't know as I've never driven any of them unfortunately. Magny Cours is one of the more well known tracks but whether it's any good or not I can't tell you.

    Drive to Belgium and give Spa a go. Now I can tell you that is a magnificent track.

    There are few tracks around paris. The closest one is le circuits des ecuyers - slow and technical but fun and rewarding but you do not reach high speed.
    Circuit de Magny-cours and lurcy levis are nice. Both of these tracks are at 280km from paris. I prefer magny cours faster than lurcy levis.
    Circuit bugatti-le mans is very nice never tried it . Closer than magny-cours.

    Circuit de dijon is very nice one of the longest straight, technical up and down - about 300-50km from paris. Circuit de clermont ferrand - 400-450km.
    Last one circuit du vigeant 400km from paris.
    One not too far is Spa-framcorchamps in belgium 300km from paris.

    If you any question don't hesitate.
    julien.

    Maybe one can add Anneau du Rhin? Not sure if there are any public runs available, only heard about club-organized events there.

    After all I strongly recommend to go to Spa as well!
