The System, the even distribution of high-, medium-, and low-speed corners at Paul Ricard is one of the reasons it is one of the most often utilized test circuits in the world (the typically good weather is another). The 290km/h right-hander at Signes and the 5g joyride of the subsequent Beausset bend are favorites among F1 drivers, and the circuit's return to the F1 calendar in 2018 demonstrated that the French Grand Prix track is an overtaking jewel.
Seats in the Chicane series of grandstands put you in the best overtaking position on the track (as Sebastian Vettel demonstrated during his 2018 comeback from 17th to fifth), while seats in the Virage du Pont stands put you closer to the fun and friendly Paul Ricard paddock, where you can watch cars make their way through the final corner before blasting down the main straight.
Just 10 kilometers south of the circuit, you'll find yourself on the French Riviera, one of the world's most renowned coastlines for its magnificent beaches, charming harbor towns, delicious cuisine, and, if you desire it, excellent local wines. That's why you go, aside from the racing action!
