A TRACK FOCUSED ON PERFORMANCE AND DRIVING PLEASURE
In the development of a racing vehicle, the choice of a test track requires taking into account an increasing number of technical and practical parameters.
An expert in the production of test tracks, the Corbières Développement Compétition team keeps in mind that the success of a team rests on a compromise of always faster, crazier or more technical test tracks.
Our track is deliberately adaptable. To achieve this result, the engineers at Corbières Développement Compétition did not hesitate to rework the technical content of a concept that they have never stopped evolving to build a real range of rally raid tracks unique in Europe.
For more than 21 years, the Corbières Développement Compétition team has been organising trials for the biggest teams in the south of France, in the heart of the Corbières, at Fontjoncouse (11) in the Aude department.
Corbières Développement Compétition supports the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the World Rally Championship (WRC) and the Dakar Rally.
WRC Track
Our WRC Test Track offers you several concepts of specials similar to the most popular rallies: Rally Portugal, Rally Chile, Rally Finland, Rally Mexico, Rally Argentina, Rally Australia, Rally Morocco, Rally of Sardinia, as well as 6 asphalt stages similar to the Tour de Corse rally and the Catalonia rally in Spain.
Several styles of specials are available : a choice of rolling tracks as well as very brittle tracks for development or complete set up adjustments.
The mileage of the timed sectors is at your choice and nearly 10 completely different ground rally specials are at your disposal, as well as 9 asphalt bases. It is a site specially designed for development and completely secure, hence maximum confidentiality. Reception facilities are in place to receive your team as well as a new garage to keep the mechanics warm. We still have several hectares of virgin land as well as all the equipment (bulldozer, crusher, steamroller, etc.) necessary to create tracks or improvements of your choice.
A medical service (emergency nurse) can be made available on site to support your testing sessions in complete safety
We can provide you with complete packages with meals on the slopes and overnight stays in hotels with full board in private rooms in a fully privatized site for your teams, as well as breakfasts, lunches and dinners on the slopes and open bar
Rally Raid Track
A track built by pilots for pilots. On a clay-limestone ground, there is a long straight line of 1,900 meters bumpy allowing to work on the behavior of vehicles at high speed. Still on the same loop, several workshops are available :
- Copy of wadi passage
- More or less deep notch
- Several compression of more than 10 meters guaranteeing very strong sensations when approached at full speed
- Alternating brittle and fast passages
- Slope turns
- Chain of small and long fast curves
All of these elements allow you to test, develop and validate new equipment, thus allowing you to be more efficient with more security. By carrying out test sessions on this track, you will use the suspensions of your rally vehicle.
The drivers' opinion: "This circuit allows you to push your vehicle to its last entrenchments"
It is with the advice of the best Rally Raid drivers like Jan de Rooy, Cyril Despres or even Jean-Louis Schlesser that this development track was built. The entire Corbières Développement Compétition team, armed with the very best in public works machinery, has carried out this test circuit by rigorously taking into account the needs of the best drivers in the car, motorcycle and truck categories. After numerous endurance tests, the engineers gave a multiplier of 6, that is to say that one kilometer of test on this track is equivalent to covering 6 kilometers on the tracks of the Rally Raid!
SSV Track
Sur un terrain de plus de 3.000 hectares s’étendent de fabuleuses pistes de vitesse.
This allows us to organise discovery outings, training courses and initiations to SSV piloting.
Furthermore, we have the possibility to lay out the track at your request by creating holes and bumps according to your wishes. This test centre has the advantage of being isolated in the middle of nature to guarantee the confidentiality of the tests.
For greater security, access to the circuit can only be done in one place. In addition, all the tracks are on private property where only authorized persons have the right to move.
But also …
For the organization of the Dakar Rally, Corbières Développement Compétition, it is also 5 timed events in the Aude on the tracks :
- Hautes Corbières,
- Château de Lastours,
- Villesèque-des-Corbières,
- Roquefort-des-Corbières,
- Massifs of Narbonne.
To ensure safety and the smooth running of the event, which brings together an average of 35,000 spectators at the edge of the track, there are :
- 150 piste marshals
- 200 firefighters and gendarmes
- +300 volunteers
