'''Dijon-Prenois''' is a {{convert|3.801|km|mi|abbr=on}} motor racing circuit located in [[Prenois]], near [[Dijon]], [[France]]. The undulating track is noted for its fast, sweeping bends.

Opened in 1972, Dijon-Prenois hosted the [[Formula One]] [[French Grand Prix]] five times, and the [[Swiss Grand Prix]] in [[1982 Swiss Grand Prix|1982]]. The non-championship [[1975 Swiss Grand Prix]] was also held at Dijon.<ref name="vie1501">{{cite journal | last = Furet | first = Jacques | title = Quarante ans qu'il tourne round! |trans-title=It's been running around for forty years! | language = French | journal = La Vie de l'Auto | issue = 1501 | date = 2012-04-05 | page = 14 | publisher = Éditions LVA | location = Fontainebleau Cedex, France }}</ref> The circuit currently hosts the Grand Prix de l'Age d'Or, and last hosted the [[FFSA GT Championship]] in 2018.

==History==
[[File:Dijon-Parabolique2000.jpg|thumb|left|260px|Part of the added section of Dijon-Prenois with the ''Parabolique'' corner]]
Planned in 1967, work commenced in December 1969. The track was part of a plan to make Dijon an automotive centre. It was the brainchild of rugby-player and wrestler François Chambelland (sometimes assumed to be the masked wrestler [[l'Ange Blanc]]){{cn|date=September 2022}}, and was developed with the aid of racers [[Jean-Pierre Beltoise]] and [[François Cevert]], as well as motoring journalist {{Interlanguage link multi|José Rosinski|fr|3=José Rosinski|vertical-align=sup}}.<ref name="CDPhist">{{cite web | url = http://www.circuit-dijon-prenois.com/fr/circuit-dijon-prenois/Historique | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080307034714/http://www.circuit-dijon-prenois.com/fr/circuit-dijon-prenois/Historique | url-status = dead | archive-date = 7 March 2008 | title = Historique du Circuit Dijon Prenois | trans-title = History of the Dijon Prenois track | language = French | publisher = Circuit Dijon-Prenois }}</ref><ref name="1501p13">Furet, p. 13</ref> In spite of lack of support from the city government and a chronic lack of funds, the track was declared open on 26 May 1972, with [[Guy Ligier]] making the first timed lap around the circuit.<ref name="1501p13"/><ref>{{cite web |title=Dijon-Prenois - L'Histoire Sportive du Circuit |url=https://www.circuit-dijon-prenois.com/le-circuit/historique/lhistoire-sportive-du-circuit/ |access-date=8 January 2023}}</ref> The first race, for 2-litre [[Sports prototype|prototypes]], was held ten days later.

[[File:Dijon-Prenois1.jpg|thumb|260px|Warm-up lap of the European Honda Trophy race, ''Gauche de la bretelle'' corner (2004)]]

The first F1 race was run in [[1974 French Grand Prix|1974]] on the circuit's original {{convert|3.289|km|mi|abbr=on}} layout; with the fastest lap times under the one-minute mark, there was a major problem with congested traffic between the race leaders and the back-markers. Therefore, in 1976 an extension was added to lengthen the circuit as well as to reprofile many of its corners before the time F1 could return to Dijon in [[1977 French Grand Prix|1977]]. The [[1979 French Grand Prix]] featured a memorable battle for second place in the final laps between [[Gilles Villeneuve]]'s [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]] and [[René Arnoux|René Arnoux's]] [[Renault F1|Renault]], which was finally won by Villeneuve. The race itself was won by [[Jean-Pierre Jabouille]] in the other [[Renault F1|Renault]] - Renault's first, and the first F1 victory for a turbocharged car.<ref name="1501p13"/>

The [[1982 Formula One season]] was not to see the [[1982 French Grand Prix|French Grand Prix]] held at Dijon as that race was held at the [[Circuit Paul Ricard|Paul Ricard Circuit]], located at [[Le Castellet, Var|Le Castellet]] in southern France. Instead, Dijon held the (as yet) last [[Swiss Grand Prix]], despite being located in France and not [[Switzerland]]. This was due to the [[Swiss Government]]'s ban on motor racing in the wake of the [[1955 24 Hours of Le Mans]] disaster in which 83 people, many of whom were spectators, and the driver [[Pierre Levegh]], died when a car crashed at high speed and vaulted into the pit straight grandstand.<ref name="Grandprix.com">{{citation | title = Motor racing in Switzerland | date = 2003-03-19 | url = https://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns08792.html}}</ref> 1982 Formula One World Champion [[Keke Rosberg]], driving his [[Williams FW08]], won his first ever Grand Prix in the [[1982 Swiss Grand Prix|1982 Swiss race]], four seconds in front of local favourite [[Alain Prost]] driving a factory backed [[Renault RE30|Renault RE30B]].

The French Grand Prix alternated between Paul Ricard and Dijon, until the last F1 race at Dijon took place in [[1984 French Grand Prix|1984]]. The race was won by [[McLaren]]'s [[Niki Lauda]], who won his 3rd and final World Championship [[1984 Formula One season|that year]]. The fastest lap of the race was set by Lauda's teammate Alain Prost (1:05.257) at an average speed of {{convert|214|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}. Fittingly, the last F1 pole at Dijon was set by a French driver driving a French car, with [[Patrick Tambay]] recording a 1:02.200 in his factory [[Renault RE50]] turbo. Tambay led the race for the first 47 laps before being passed by Lauda, the Frenchman eventually finishing 2nd, seven seconds behind the [[McLaren MP4/2]].

Long-distance racing continued, with a race in the [[FIA GT Championship]] held there in 1998 for instance. Although Formula One has not returned to Dijon since [[1984 French Grand Prix|1984]], the circuit continues to be used today for minor, mostly local races. These include club level events and motorcycle racing, and truck racing events have been held there since 1988.<ref name="CDPhist"/> The track was renovated in 2001, when a go-cart track was added.<ref name="vie1501"/>
