Joomla! Showcase DirectoryCircuit Paul Ricard
The site is aimed at motorsport fans, event spectators, amateur drivers, corporate clients, and professionals who use or want to use Circuit Paul Ricard. This includes people coming to attend races and events, book tickets, discover the calendar, buy merchandise, or plan visits and hospitality, as well as brands and teams interested in using the venue for testing, corporate events, or driving experiences.
The purpose of the site is to be the official digital hub of Circuit Paul Ricard: it promotes upcoming racing and leisure events, sells tickets and experiences, showcases the circuit’s facilities and services (competitions, track days, karting, corporate events, hospitality), and provides all practical information for visitors, partners, and media (access, contact, news, media center).

The site is built on the Joomla CMS, with a fully custom, responsive template and layout. It takes advantage of Joomla’s multilingual features to serve both French and English audiences, and uses structured content (articles, categories, custom modules and menu items) to power the events calendar, news area, and “season / competition” schedules you see on the home page. Dynamic modules handle the upcoming-events slider with live countdowns and links out to external services for ticketing, the online shop and partner platforms such as Xtrem Park, karting and car-sharing.
The main specificities and difficulties were on the architectural and integration side: we had to build a single, coherent UX for very different audiences (spectators, B2B event clients, partners, media) while keeping navigation simple despite a large amount of content and several external sites. Managing a dense, time-sensitive events calendar with multilingual news, countdowns and links to third-party ticketing required careful content modelling and custom Joomla overrides. We also had to optimise performance and caching to cope with traffic peaks around major events, without breaking real-time information such as next track sessions or upcoming races, and keep design, branding and messaging consistent with the client’s internal tools and apps developed in parallel.
