The Bugatti Circuit is a race track located in Le Mans, France. Although the whole track is not used for the famous Le Mans 24 Hour Race, several parts are used. The sections of track on the Bugatti Circuit that are on the 24 Hour Circuit include the Ford Chicane at the end of the lap, the pit complex, and the straight where the Dunlop tire bridge is at. At this point, you will come to a T in the road and if you go left, you continue the Le Mans circuit toward Terte-Rouge and Mulsanne, but if you turn right, you will continue the Bugatti Circuit. The track is home base for famous former-French driver and current team owner Henri Pescarolo. The circuit also hosts the 24 Hours of Le Mans motorcycle race (Yes, there is one for them, as well) and a round of the Moto GP Championship, also for motorcycles. The circuit also holds French club races.
There are actually two separate racing tracks at Le Mans, though they share certain portions.
The smaller is the BugattiCircuit (named after the Bugatti car company), a relatively short permanent circuit which is used for racing throughout the year.
Just south of the city, the longer and more famous Le MansCircuit de la Sarthe is composed partly of public roads, which are closed to the public when the track is in use for racing, and plays host to the famous Grand Prix automobile race, the 24 hours of Le Mans.
