Circuit de la Sarthe

The Circuit de la Sarthe is a real world circuit from Gran Turismo 4. It is an exact replica of the Circuit Le Mans in France, the home of the 24 Heures du Mans motor race.



The circuit is available in 2 layouts:

Circuit I
Circuit de la Sarthe I is a recreation of the Le Mans Circuit from between 2002 and 2005. The 13.88km course featured, among its 25 corners, the newly added L'Arche Chicane and Le Florandiere Chicance on the Mulsanne Straight. These chicanes were designed to slow the cars from the 400km/h+ speeds that were acheived on the old straight section. It also features a slightly modified infield section and flattened Mulsanne Kink where Peter Dumbreck, among others on the same weekend, managed to flip his Mercedes Sportscar on the bumpy track.
