After the Second World War, the Grand Prix was run to Formula One regulations for many years until, following the 1955 Le Mans disaster, racing at Circuit Les Planques came to an end.

The event was held up until the outbreak of the Second World War, other winners including B. Bira and Luigi Villoresi.

The 1955 Le Mans disaster brought racing at Les Planques to a halt, the circuit deemed to be unsafe.

Between 1959 and 1963, at the new Circuit d'Albi, the Grand Prix was run to Formula Junior regulations, with Lotus driver Peter Arundell winning twice.

World Champion Jack Brabham won twice; Jim Clark, Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart and Emerson Fittipaldi were also winners.
