  • The back straight of this historic street circuit was once a tram line. Some say it still is with how hard it is to pass around here!

    For anybody who didn't get that safety car reference:
    It's about the very first time Franz Engstler ever led a race in the world touring car championship.
    Here is the video of that event, pay particularly close attention to the beginning of lap 2:

    I live in Pau, and I just want to add two things:
    -The kerb in the last chicane is scarier IRL
    -There's a sex shop and a Jehovah's Witnesses church on the right side of the start/finish line

    You forgot 2 little things:
    1- it's nicknamed little Monaco
    2- the term grand prix for a motorsport event was introduced and first used in Pau
    It's always amazing to witness the streets I've driven on so many times already being part of a racetrack.
    I have grown up in Pau with the Grand Prix being yearly feature as well as having studied at the Lycée Louis Barthou which closes at the end of Thursday to allow for practice sessions to happen.
    Thanks for the video, wondered if you would ever make on about it for a long time, got my wish!
