Having previously hosted the FIA World Touring Car Championship between 20, Circuit de Pau-Ville lies 20 kilometres east of Circuit Pau-Arnos, the setting of the inaugural WTCR Race of France in October 2021. “With this project, we would start the season earlier, taking pressure off the World Cup schedule and allowing longer stays in North America, or maybe we even come back in March.In 100 words: FIA international-level racing returns to the streets of Pau for the first time since 2018 with the revival of the world-famous Grand Prix de Pau in southwest France.

Wengen has been a fixture on World Cup calendar with races taking place since 1930. It usually takes about 2½ minutes for the world’s best racers to cover the 4.4km course – that’s 30-45 seconds longer than it takes for most races.

No trees need to be felled, nor are any major structural changes be required. Spectators at the finish should be able to view nearly 50% of the race.
After around 30 seconds, skiers will hit the first big jump, before gliding to Testa Grigia where racers will cross the border into Italy.įrom this point, it will feel more like a Super-G course, culminating in a jump ‘over a 65% slope with a distance of about 80 metres’. The top of the course will be smooth with long downhill curves. The course has been designed by the Swiss skier, Didier Defago, winner of the 2010 Winter Olympic downhill, and experienced race director Bernhard Russi. It will start in the Zermatt ski area in Switzerland and then drop down towards Laghi Cime Bianche at 2814m in Cervinia, Italy. The route will be almost three miles long, starting at the very top of the ski area at Gobba di Rollin near Klein Matterhorn at 3899m (marked on the map below). The race will become the longest on the World Cup circuit, be the first to traverse two countries and entirely reshape the FIS World Cup calendar. Proposals were first revealed in May 2020 for Zermatt and Cervinia to host a new joint downhill course. UPDATE: The Zermatt-Cervinia World Cup Downhill 2022: All You Need To Know
