Circuit des Ardennes

The Circuit des Ardennes was an auto race that was held at the Bastogne Street Circuit from 1902 to ____. It was the first circuit race to take place on a closed course instead of from one city to the other.

The first race was held in 1902 and was organised by Baron, Pierre de Crawhez with the race being held over six laps of 85.34 kilometres in length. René de Knyff won the first race in a Panhard 70 as he was one of four entrants that competed in a Panhard in a 17 entry field.

The following year in 1903 saw Charles Jarrott who finished fifth the previous year, record a victory from fifth position on the grid.
