History
Paul Ricard founded the circuit, which opened in April 1970. It hosted its first Formula One French Grand Prix in 1971. The facility was developed into a sophisticated testing venue during the 2000s before spectator racing returned. The 5.842 km figure describes the modern Formula One configuration; other endurance layouts differ.
