Date subject to confirmation: the 2027 calendar still has to be approved by the FFSA’s league commission. Numbers 1 to 15 and the names come from the Wikimedia map; we matched the names to the numbers by their position, and corner 8 has no name on the map. Wikipedia counts 14 corners, the FIA and the map 15.
In 2027 the Grand Prix Camions de Nogaro is round 3 of the French Truck Racing Championship (the Championnat de France Camions of the FFSA, the French motorsport federation), on 19 and 20 June, still subject to approval. The trucks race on the full 3.636 km circuit with 15 corners. In 2023 it was the 30th Grand Prix Camions, with more than 200 decorated trucks and almost 35,000 spectators expected.
The European Truck Racing Championship (ETRC) has also raced here: 2012 to 2016 are documented, and according to the FIA the first visit was in 1994. In 2016 the winners were Norbert Kiss (race 1), René Reinert (2), Jochen Hahn (3) and Adam Lacko (4). The fastest documented truck time is 1:53.184 (Adam Lacko, Super Pole 2016); there is no documented official truck lap record.
Paul Armagnac, after whom the circuit is named, was born in Nogaro and died in 1962 during practice at Montlhéry. The circuit opened on 3 October 1960, according to Wikipedia as France’s first purpose-built racing circuit. The start/finish straight is named after the motorcycle designer Claude Fior.
