Smooth surface, clear lines, plenty of variety.
The Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours lies in Burgundy, around twelve kilometres south of Nevers. From 1991 to 2008 it was home to the French Grand Prix; today it hosts the Superbike World Championship and international GT series.
Over 4.411 kilometres, 17 corners follow one another, named after famous circuits – Estoril, Adelaide, Nürburgring, Imola. The Adelaide hairpin, the quick changes of direction and the remarkably smooth tarmac make Magny-Cours a circuit where setup changes can be measured clearly.

Frequently asked questions
All about testing at Magny-Cours
When does the test at Magny-Cours take place?
From 31 March to 1 April 2027.
Why is Magny-Cours so well suited to setup work?
The surface is very smooth and even, and almost every type of corner features in a single lap. Chassis changes therefore show up clearly in the data.
Which cars are eligible?
Eligible are GT cars of the GT2, GT3, GT4 and GTE classes, one-make cups such as Porsche Cup, Ferrari Challenge and Lamborghini Super Trofeo, as well as LMP2, LMP3 and LMP4 (JS P4). LMH, LMDh, JS 2R, Group C and GT1 on request. Formula cars and other open wheelers are not admitted at 4PROS.
What is included in the test day?
At least seven hours of open pitlane, professional timing with sector times, photos of your test, tyre service by MTS on site and a dedicated coordinator as your contact. A timing data stream and catering for drivers and mechanics can be booked as extras.
Which noise limit applies?
The noise limit is set by the circuit. At most 4PROS tests, cars run up to 105 dB or FIA-compliant. We give you the exact figure for your date with the quote.
