Date subject to confirmation: the 2027 calendar still has to be approved by the FFSA’s league commission. The map shows the whole complex with all its layouts; the truck circuit is not marked separately. There is no documented corner numbering for the truck circuit, so only the length and well-known points are listed here. We have no confirmed information on the direction, the number of laps or the truck lap record.
The Grand Prix Camions du Castellet is part of the French Truck Racing Championship (the Championnat de France Camions of the FFSA, the French motorsport federation). In 2027 it is round 2 on 22 and 23 May, still subject to approval. According to the organisers, the trucks race on the circuit of around 3.8 km; exactly which variant is not confirmed.
The weekend is a festival: truck races with around 1,200 hp, more than 200 decorated trucks, parades, a trade fair and a concert on Saturday evening. According to the FFSA, 48,000 spectators came in 2025. The overall winner in 2025 was Téo Calvet (Freightliner) ahead of Raphaël Sousa (Freightliner) and Thomas Robineau (MAN), with 29 drivers taking part. According to Wikipedia, the European Truck Racing Championship (ETRC) raced here from 1985 to 1999.
Pastis entrepreneur Paul Ricard had the circuit built from 1969, and it opened on 19 April 1970. Instead of gravel traps there are blue and red run-off areas. The Mistral Straight was originally about 1.8 km long; in 1986 the circuit was shortened by a cut-through.
