The motor racing circuit has been in financial difficulties for a couple of years now and threatened with closure. The circuit actually belongs to the city but is usually run by private subcontractors. The annual grand prix had been run 71 times until 2014, when it had to be cancelled. The new managers, local firm SN Diffusion, say no grand prix this year either, but hope to stage several other events.
In a fairly densely populated area the circuit is limited to 12 "noisy" days a year, so is looking to diversify its activities.
