The Automobile Club de France chose a triangular course to the west of Strasbourg for its 1922 race. Set near Bugatti’s factory in Alsace, the pits and grandstand were built on the D392 from Duttlenheim to Entzheim. A sharp right-hand hairpin before that latter village preceded another fast straight towards Innenheim. The circuit then turned right again to re-join the D392 on the outskirts of Duttlenheim. A railway station was specially opened to service the raceday crowd and a bridge built at the startline with sponsorship from Dunlop. The race also featured the first mass start in Grand Prix history.
