Ten years ago, the Touques was the first racecourse to include a sand-fibre track, hosting races in winter, when the Normand fields are covered by snow. The turf track is used again when the nice season comes. In this period, the racecourse organizes several prestigious races including the Prix Rothschild, Maurice de Gheest, Jacques Le Marois, Morny, Jean Romanet… and to end the summer season, the Grand Prix de Deauville.
