[2] Built in 1933 by a group of enthusiasts, the circuit of Albi les Planques quickly became a classic in the racing specialty of cars.

[3] After the war, from 1946, the Albi Grand Prix continued to be a non-championship Formula One motor race.

The start was given on the shorter side of the triangle, in the hamlet of Les planques, near Albi; after a right turn, the circuit winded up to Saint-Antoine and climbed to the village of Saint-Juéry where a hairpin turned the track south and then crossed a railway line followed by a bump.

A long straight, Montplaisir, followed by another, the current Route de Millau, led back to the starting line.

To remove the hairpin at the Planques, a 225 m (738 ft) ramp was drawn along the edge which was built, by volunteers, stood on either side as well as a passage under the track which led the riders to their pits.
