About This Event

The Grand Prix de France Historique is the only event in France with real Formula 1 races, and more than 60 Formula 1 cars from the 1970s to the 2010s make the grid. This edition moves to Dijon-Prenois, west of Dijon, the circuit that held its first French Grand Prix in 1974, saw the Arnoux and Villeneuve duel and ran its last Formula 1 Grand Prix in 1984, won by Niki Lauda in a McLaren-TAG Porsche.

1What to Expect

About 225 competition cars run across the weekend: Formula 2, Formula 3, prototypes and GTs on track as well as the Formula 1 grid.
Three days of running on Friday 23, Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 April 2027, with tickets sold for a single day or all three.
The paddock and the village zone are open to every ticket holder, so the cars, drivers and teams are up close between sessions. Team work areas, garages, pit lane and the track stay closed to spectators.
The village has car club areas, a shopping village, an open air podium and meet ups with motorsport names, per the organiser.

2Best Way to Experience It

  • For two days or more, the three day ticket costs less than a Saturday plus a Sunday ticket bought separately (2027 prices).
  • Grid walks are sold as add ons for Saturday and for Sunday: time on the starting grid before a race, next to the cars, drivers and teams.
  • Friday is the cheapest day ticket and the Friday under 16 years ticket is the cheapest paid entry of the weekend.

Getting there

Driving

  • The circuit is in Prenois, about 15 km west of Dijon, per the organiser.
  • Free outdoor spectator parking is planned on site with a short walk to the circuit entrance.
  • Riders have their own three day motorbike ticket and the organiser pushes coming by bike to cut time in traffic, with limited spaces.

Public transport

  • The nearest station is Dijon Ville.
  • From the station the organiser's last leg is a taxi to the circuit.

Rideshare and taxis

  • Taxis and VTC (app based private hire) run from Dijon to the circuit, and the organiser advises booking ahead for the event weekend.

Best value route

  • Without a car, train to Dijon Ville then a taxi or VTC is the only route the organiser gives, so a shared ride from the station is the cheapest way in.

5Frequently Asked Questions

Suitable for kids?
Children under 12 years get in free but still need their own e-ticket. Ages 12 to 16 years have a reduced ADO ticket, and there is a family pack. The organiser lists kids play areas in the village.
Bringing the dog?
Pets are not allowed inside the circuit, even on a lead. Assistance dogs with a holder of the French disability card are allowed.
Using a wheelchair or reduced mobility?
A reduced mobility ticket covers the person and one adult companion for all three days at a reduced price, with a dedicated parking space.
Worried about rain?
Bad weather does not cancel the event: only the Prefecture can. Rain, strong wind or an incident can change or delay races, and race control decides formats on the day. If the event is cancelled or postponed, tickets carry over to the new date with no refund.
