Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours

Located in rural central France, the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours hosted the French Grand Prix from 1991 to 2008, becoming closely associated with Michael Schumacher's dominance. Its flat, technical layout, with slow chicanes and a fast sweeping section, rewarded a well-balanced car more than outright power. It was often criticised for its remote location, but it produced memorable races, including Schumacher's 2002 victory that clinched his fifth title with the earliest championship win in history. Magny-Cours hosted 18 Grands Prix in total.
