The
circuit Reims-Gueux was a Grand Prix motor racing road course,
located in Gueux, 7.5 km west of Reims in the Champagne region
of north-eastern France. It was established in 1926 as the second
venue of the Grand Prix de la Marne. The triangular layout of
public roads formed three sectors between the villages of Thillois
and Gueux over the La Garenne/Gueux intersection of Route nationale
31. The circuit became known to be among the fastest of the
era for its two long straights (each approximately 2.2 km in
length) allowing maximum straight-line speed, resulting in many
famous slipstream battles. Located in the heart of Champagne
country, around 140km northwest of Paris is easily reached by
car andis close to the A4 motorway from Paris to Strasbourg.
