Ledenon Circuit History
Lédenon is a small village located north of Nîmes, near the A9 highway.
Relying solely on their own funds, Jean-Claude and Sylvie Bondurand, who were passionate about motorsports, decided in 1970 to build the Lédenon Circuit.
Three years then passed during which the couple never lost hope, despite the obstacles that stood in their way. However, their efforts paid off, and it was precisely on Saturday, June 16, 1973, that the Lédenon Circuit was officially certified for the first time.
With its inaugural race featuring some 30 Matra Bagheeras and many other vintage cars, the Lédenon Circuit made its mark on the history of motorsports.
In 1977, major racing series such as the Production series which was quickly renamed Supertourisme got underway. The Formula Renault series also debuted in 1977.
Le Circuit de Lédenon, aujourd'hui, s'est imposé comme le plus vallonné, le plus sinueux et le plus technique des circuits de France. En effet, Lédenon n'est pas un circuit de tout repos car il nécessite près de 38 changements de vitesse. C'est aussi le seul circuit qui tourne dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d'une montre.
