Inaugurated as a race track 52 years ago
The Lignières circuit was inaugurated on September 14, 1961. In 1963, the Federal Department of Justice and Police issued a provisional permit to hold car and motorcycle races. Numerous events and races were subsequently held on Switzerland's only race track.
In 2003, the TCS signed a contract to use the track for driving and road safety courses. From 2004 to 2009, the facility was completely renovated by the TCS subsidiary Test & Training tcs AG (now TCS Training & Events AG) and reopened in 2012.
