Deauville-La Touques Racecourse

I suggest arriving at least an hour before the races start to explore the paddock area. It's a good chance to see the horses up close and snap some photos – it really sets the mood!

My advice is to check out the local food stalls instead of the main restaurant. They have some delicious options at better prices, plus you get to enjoy the atmosphere outside!

I recommend bringing a light jacket, especially if you're staying for the evening races. It can get pretty chilly once the sun goes down, and trust me, you don't want to be uncomfortable!

If you're planning on betting, try to familiarize yourself with the odds and horses beforehand. It saves time and helps you make those last-minute decisions at the betting booths!
Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours
My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. The food at the circuit is decent, but quite pricey. I ended up paying a lot for a simple sandwich

If you're planning to watch a race, try to find a spot near the Turn 1 grandstand. It's where all the action happens! Trust me, you won't regret the view.
Circuit de la Sarthe
If you can book your tickets for the endurance race well in advance. Prices go up as the date approaches and you'll save a good bit. I learned that the hard way!

Explore the surrounding areas too! The town of Le Mans has some awesome history and cool places to visit. I almost missed out on it because I was too focused on the races.

Arrive by 9 AM on race days to beat the traffic and get a decent parking spot. I got stuck in a long line, and it stressed me out before the race even started!

Check out the local food stands before the race starts. I found some amazing street food that was way cheaper and tastier than the usual stands inside the circuit. Don't miss out on those local specialties!
Paul Ricard

I recommend visiting on a Thursday afternoon when it’s less crowded. We got to see way more cars on the track without the usual weekend chaos.

I've found that checking the schedule ahead of time is key. There are some amazing events, but if you don’t plan, you might miss out on the best races

I suggest wearing comfy shoes. You’ll be doing a lot of walking around the paddock and grandstands. I wore flip-flops and regretted it all day!

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. The food options on-site can be super pricey, and honestly, not that great. Save your cash for souvenirs instead!
Paul Ricard Circuit

i recommend arriving right when the gates open around 8 am to snag a good parking spot and avoid the crowd. it makes a huge difference!

I suggest exploring the less popular sections of the circuit for some unique viewpoints. I found some great spots where I could see the cars up close without the usual hordes of people.
European Pau Arnos Circuit

I suggest getting there around 9 AM to avoid the crowd and score some prime parking. The morning vibe is super chill and you can explore without feeling rushed.
My advice is to pack a picnic! The food stalls can be pricey, so bringing your snacks saves some bucks and lets you enjoy the scenery while munching.
Reims-Gueux

Bring snacks and water. The food options are decent but can get pricey, especially on race days. Save some cash and enjoy the atmosphere without overspending on concessions.

If you're planning to visit Reims-Gueux for the racing vibe try to time your trip for a race day. It’s a whole different experience when the energy of the crowd is there. Check the local schedule before heading out
