The track of Linas-Montlhéry is a motor racing circuit located about thirty kilometers south of Paris.
This circuit was born in 1924 under the impulse of the industrialist Alexandre Lamblin.
In 1923, he acquired a land situated on the Saint-Eutrope plateau in Linas, not far from Montlhéry. He built a two-and-a-half kilometer speed ring that was completed by a road circuit. The circuit has been designed by engineer Raymond Jamin.
The autodrome was inaugurated on 4th of October 1924.
Following the Le Mans 24 Hours accident in 1955 and other fatal accidents on the high speed circuits and the rise of power of competition machines, the evolution of the safety regulations confronts the Linas- Montlhéry to more and more difficult homologations. The approval is not renewed in 2004.
From now on, the circuit is devoted to the tests of automotive manufacterer.
In 2010, the Speed Ring played host to Ken Block's Gymkhana Three video.
