The ‘course de cote’ de Saint Goueno was born in 1969

From day one it was a round of the Championnat de France de la Montagne (CFM), it continued at this level until 1985 when it lost it’s CFM status. The event  carried on but eventualy closed in 1994.

In 2005 the hill was underwent a renaissance thanks to the efforts of Oliver Henry and his team, the object being to ultimately reinstate St Goueno as a round of the national championship. Regaining CFM status would be no small order as safety criteria imposed by the FFSA has moved on considerably since 1985.

The 3.2km course was entirely resurfaced in 2005 and an ongoing programme of safety improvements was undertaken. Each year more double height Armco barrier has been installed thanks to the generosity of the Department of the Cotes d’Armor.

All the hard work proved to be worthwhile as from 2010 Saint Goueno has regained it’s rightful place as a round of the CFM. The FFSA was most impressed by the overall quality of organisation and in particular the paddock arrangements.

The FFSA decision to award the event it’s CFM status was influenced by the international flavour of the meeting provided by the ‘Saint Goueno Masters’. Since it’s re-birth in 2005 the event has always sported an international entry organised by local expat John Lloyd.
