Haunted Race Track Reims-Gueux - Nighttime Exploration
In this Circuits of the past video we go explore the haunted race track of Reims-Gueux by night, looking for ghosts…
Some people believe in ghosts, others don’t. But sometimes we see strange things we can’t decare… Can’t we? In this night exploration we’re looking for answers.
The Reims-Gueux circuit is an abandoned circuit in Northern France. After 30 years of decay the buildings are now restored by the foundation “Les Amis du Circuit de Gueux”.
However, some people claim they saw ghosts on the abandoned site.
When Herman visited the abandoned circuit in 2005 he made a photo inside the grandstand. On the picture you see a lot of big orbs. And when he made a drone flight in 2018 he saw strange bright spots in the stands.
Reason enough to do some night time exploration of this abandoned site, looking for paranormal activities. At the end of the video, we're going to analyze all the strange things we've seen.
We start to explore the old pit building. Followed by the basement, also known as the Reims-Gueux Dungeon.
After the dungeon we make a scary walk through the dark tunnel underneath the track. On the other side of the track are the abandoned grandstands. We start at the press grandstand. This was where a guy on Twitter claimed he saw a ghost.
After the night exploration of the buildings and stands we go to an abandoned section of the track itself. There we do a night ride on the abandoned section and make a stop at the Hovette Corner, where a cross stands...
About the abandoned race track of Reims-Gueux
The Reims-Gueux Circuit can be seen as F1’s ultimate abandoned race track and was operational from 1926 to 1972. It actually was a street circuit with permanent pit and grandstand facilities. Reims-Gueux hosted Formula 1 races and the 12 Hours of Gueux.
Originally the circuit ran through the village of Gueux. But in 1952 a new connection cut off that section and in 1953 the track was extended. For more information about the layouts of the circuit I recommend the video “Reims-Gueux Circuit All layouts”: • Reims-Gueux Circuit Al...
When Formula 1 abandoned the circuit after the 1966 French Grand Prix the track became outdated and was only used for national races. After the last race in 1972 thety actually wanted to demolish the buiuldings.
But a new major stopped the demolition and the buildings were left for nature for the next decades.
There were already plans to restart the demolition and built houses on the site instead. But the foundation “Les Amis du Circuit de Gueux” managed to prevent that. They get permission to restore the buildings and the guarantee that nothing would be demolished again.
About the pit building
In the early years the pit building was used by the race control. Later, the race control and the timekeeping moved to the new building “Pavillon André Lambert”, which we will explore too. Since then this pit building was used as a restaurant for drivers and team members.
There was also a restaurant for the spectators in the grandstands. You can see the exploration of the stands in this video: • Exploring Abandoned Ra...
About the dungeon
The so called dungeon is actually a basement underneath the pit building.
A certain person who is apparently very inspired by Herman’s work gave this the name Reims-Gueux Dungeon. After he took off with a topic that Herman has been putting on the map since 2005, he also went to visit abandoned racing circuits, like Reims-Gueux.
Probably he have a dirty mind and thought this is a dungeon.
This “dungeon” is a narrow tunnel to a basement that was used to store Champagne. Officially it is closed for public. But because Herman was a guest of the foundation “Les Amis du Circuit de Gueux” they gave him entrance.
