Euro2001 – Day 3 - NEVERS to MAGNY COURS to BEAUNE
Wednesday 1st August 2001
“Magny Cours”
A short drive from our Hotel takes us to Magny Cours for our first track day. The final details of the day will be explained at the track but we have allowed about 6 hours there before continuing on to Beaune for our overnight stay at the Kyriad Hotel.
Watch our for a filling station close to the circuit because you may need fuel during the day (depending how you drive!!) and it would be wise to fill up again on the way out as we start our run cross country to our night stop. Fortunately we only have just under 100 miles to do in the evening and it is a nice run through the hills and valleys of the Burgundy region with some pretty stunning panoramas.
Directions: Microsoft AutoRoute with supplemental information from Allan Taylor in red.
Summary: 105.9 miles (9 hours, 31 minutes)
