The Roussillon Grand Prix (Grand Prix du Roussillon) is a Grand Prix motor racing event that was held between 1946 and 1949 in the streets of Perpignan, France.[1] The race used the 2.538 km (1.577 mi) Circuit des Patanes around the Square Bir Hakeim. In 1948, the grand prix was a part of the Formula 2 series. The Roussillon Grand Prix disappeared after four years, for safety reasons.
A motorbike race was also held in the circuit the same day between 1946 and 1952.
The 1-2 October 1994, an auto-moto historic Grand Prix was organised on the same street circuit[1]. Maurice Trintignant, winner of the 1948 edition was present.
