YES! Clermont Ferrand 65 = Charade (in UKGPL database)

No, the 2nd track is only a charade of the 1st one. Though the second one came first, of the 2, the first is 1st rate , in my opinion.

I have never spent so much time upside down when trying to learn a new track, Clermont is a nightmare. I think our new racer boggy has had a Baptism of fire with first riverside and now this.

Hi Well Johnny " Baptism of fire"?? Ive spent the last two days rubbing my helmet on the tarmac and to make things worse after reading this thread again just realized I'm on the wrong Charade track, Charad 70 when I should be on Charade for 65s. Oh well c'est la vie as they say over here. One for Paul,can we have some French flags for nationality on leader board?? Cheers Boggy

The flags are set according to your own profile. So you need to go into your profile and select France as your country. Just click on your own name in the results table to get into your profile.
Look at the standings and you will see the tricolour flying proudly for Rouen and Clermont...

Hi Paul Cheers for that I was changing my location in the wrong part of my profile. Still trying to learn the track, think I may spend all the race keeping out of everyones way, sorry for disappearing in front of you causing your trip to the wall Cheers Boggy

Hey - maybe someone should start the Clermont race-thread; then we'd have somewhere to put the pre-event moaning Yeah, looks very nice. Plenty of opportunities to examine the scenery - real close up! I think there may be a lot of pitlane activity... You guys really like loading up the various series with mystery tracks, eh?! Actually, on a (slightly) serious note - it would be kinda interesting if there was a race sometime where none of the participants had actually seen the track beforehand. If popular, maybe could even lead to a GPL treasure-hunt-rally series of its own (winner receives some record tokens; or virtual leather-backed driving gloves...) I'll be seeing you from the ditch. Be sure to wave on your way past! Cheers, Dave.

Hi Dave, Imagine what it was like, to show up at these long tracks as an actual driver, with your life on the line! The best they could hope for the first time out, was survival. GPL is all about realistic racing. Clermont was an actual Grand Prix track, so if they could do it, you can do it. Modern drivers who become professionals, suddenly have to compete on lots more international tracks. Same thing here with our International stars, but without the pay.

I like the pre event moaning- it's usually witty with one or two sandbaggers for good measure. Speaking of times 3.20 has been done by Hristo in the Bt7... I hope Rob is not that quick. For such a long track it is very narrow with plenty of crashing opportunities.

There was a Novs race here long a go https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=7107#event1881this will give you an idea of the lap times - although I'd pretty much ignore those sub 3.30 as those drivers are now in the Pro Division. I really dislike this track & didn't bother to take part in Season 18. Not sure if my pain tolerances have increased since then!
