Welcome to Magny-Cours, France for the eighth round of the 1997/98 LFRS World Championship!
Magny-Cours is a track where car setup and handling is all important. With only one straight, and many long medium speed corners, downforce and grip are more critical to a fast lap than top speed. This means that tire wear is very high. For the race you need to compromise your setup between speed, grip and tire wear.
History: The French GP has been held at Magny-Cours since 1991 and has not been as popular with the drivers as the ultra fast Paul Ricard were the race used to be held. Mangy-Cours however, has been an excellent indicator for the world championship, with the winner going on to claim the title in 92 (Mansell), 93 (Prost), 94 & 95 (Schumacher) and 96 (Hill). The French GP was also one of the few Grand Prix that the great Ayrton Senna never won.
