Roussillon Grand Prix


The Roussillon Grand Prix was a Grand Prix motor racing event that was held between 1946 and 1949 in the streets of Perpignan, France. The race used the Circuit des Patanes around the Square Bir Hakeim. In 1948, the grand prix was a part of the Formula 2 series. The Roussillon Grand Prix disappeared after four years, for safety reasons.
A motorbike race was also held in the circuit the same day between 1946 and 1952.
The 1–2 October 1994, an auto-moto historic Grand Prix was organised on the same street circuit. Maurice Trintignant, winner of the 1948 edition was present.
