The average speed in Dijon Prenois is 144 km/h (90 mph), as this road course consists of 12 turns, most of them fast sweepers and a long front straightaway. The track's banking is higher at the close-angled corners, and elevation constantly changes, keeping restricted visibility for the drivers during most of the trajectory. Turns one and two come immediately after the main straightaway, with an entry speed around 130 km/h (81 mph). The track then snakes up and down the natural terrain until the closed corner number seven, called Parabolique, the heaviest braking sector in Dijon Prenois. The drivers are free to accelerate from there on and will feel the G forces acting in their prime, closing the circuit at a top speed near 250 km/h (155 mph).
Undulating up and down the hills of Prenois, near Dijon, in France, the Dijon Prenois circuit is a 3.801 km (2.362 mi) motorsport raceway that opened its doors in 1972 and has hosted high-profile events such as the Formula 1 French Grand Prix, the Swiss Grand Prix, as well as GT1 and GT2 races.

Inaugurated in 1972 by François Chambelland with an initial distance of 3 289 meters, the route of the Burgundy circuit has undergone very few changes over the years, the length of the track has only been modified once, in 1977, in order to meet the standards of Formula 1. This modification increased the length of the track to 3 801 meters, creating the impressive turn of the Parabolic.
