Circuit Anneau du Rhin — Roulage moto piste 🇫🇷

Motorcycle Track Day at Anneau du Rhin

The Anneau du Rhin, located in Biltzheim, Alsace, is the largest circuit in the Grand Est region of France. Founded in 1996 by Marc Rinaldi and now managed by his son François, this private circuit nestled in a former hunting estate in the Alsatian forest welcomes approximately 50,000 visitors each year. FFM approved since 2011, the Anneau du Rhin has become a reference for motorcycle track days in the northeastern quarter of France, attracting Alsatian riders as well as motorcyclists from Germany and Switzerland.

History of the Anneau du Rhin

The circuit was created in 1996 by Marc Rinaldi on a wooded area in Biltzheim, between Colmar and Mulhouse. In 2006, the 3 km configuration was modernized. In 2011, a complete resurfacing and widening of the track allowed FFM approval for motorcycle training and competition. The paddock was expanded in 2023 to accommodate up to 12,000 spectators during major events.

The Anneau du Rhin has hosted prestigious competitions: the Championnat de France Superbike, rounds of the Trophée d'Alsace, motorcycle endurance races, as well as automotive events such as the Tour Auto and a round of the FIA World Touring Car Cup in 2022.

Track Characteristics (3 km competition)

The 3 km competition configuration is the most used track for motorcycle track days at the Anneau du Rhin. The circuit runs clockwise and offers a balanced mix of fast and technical sections. The asphalt track offers good grip and a width of 12 meters.

The track starts with the 1,000-meter straight, where speeds exceed 200 km/h on motorcycles. This is followed by the Adrénaline curve, a fast right-hand turn that requires heavy braking and a precise apex. The S du Sanglier links quick changes of direction before leading to slower turns that allow you to work on positioning and acceleration out of the corner.

Riding Tips: Exploit the long straight for acceleration, but take care with your braking before the Adrénaline curve — late braking is costly in this section. In the S du Sanglier, fluidity is key: link the turns smoothly to maintain your speed. The surface offers good grip, take advantage of it to work on your lines and apexes.
