Hi guys,
Although I won’t be doing the trip in a retro I am taking my modern Alfa Romeo across Europe next week, the route takes me via Reims and as such I would like to visit the historic grand prix bits that remain .
Can any supply me with the area of Reims I should be looking for?
French postal code etc would be great to punch in to the nav
Also hoping to visit Monaco whilst there to see the Grand Prix track , lack of planning means I’ll not be able to watch the races though

Stopped there a couple of years ago on the way to Switzerland. It's just off the N31 down the D27 a very short distance. If you put Reims-Geuex into Google Maps Street view you will see other sightseers "pitting". Including what looks like 4-door versions of Porsche 914 and Peugeot 205 Cabriolet, but I think that is just a glitch in the image!

Can’t help on the area etc, but have been around the Monaco circuit. Certainly an experience & if you’re there it has to be done. Nothing like the race though when it’s full of traffic.
You say not doing it in a retro, but a modern Alfa. Surely a retro would be more likely to finish 😀

Can't help with the postcode but i believe there is a new ruling from the local mayor which forbids stopping on the grandstand straight. Can't remember where I read that.....

Well it is open, no one stopping you parking on the road along side the stand
It looks like they are tidying the place up for visitors ,small gift shop, man cleaning an ice cream freezer up and the place is all getting painted

Red bull had by far the best area
