Welcome to the RD Racing Club.

As it's the last Wednesday of July, we're going to the track you chose as Track of the Month: Charade the 8km layout.
The Circuit de Charade, or Circuit Clermont-Ferrand is a circuit in France. The circuit is located around a dormant volcano, and is located near the city of Clermont-Ferrand.

A Formula 1 Grand Prix was held four times, in 1965, 1969, 1970 and 1972. The circuit was compared to the Nürburgring because of its layout. Partly because of the safety risks, Formula 1 moved to Paul Ricard after 1972.

The 8km layout has been updated recently by the maker with amongst other changes a new corner with a roundabout (not visible in the map below).

Wellll,

after strolling around a bit I have to admit that this track is really beautyfull(ly made).

It really reminds of some "canyoning sessions" we had a few years back in the "Dutch Mountains" aka "The Eifel"

Aaand I have to admit that I rather like the way my Mazda wiggles it´s butt around the hairpins.......

So, the jury´s still out if I will join you on Wednesday ( but it doesn´t look too bad :rolleyes:)
 
Why is the Eifel called the Dutch Mountains? I didn't know that.
Interestingly (if you're into geology lol), it's an old volcanic site too.

Clermont Ferrand (Charade) has a fabulous history, provided some amazing races in the late 50's, into the 60's - most of my favourite drivers (Rindt, Amon, Stewart, Surtees etc) raced there, and all said it was a massive challenge.

I love the sim version, it has a great flow, then a section that breaks it up with the tight stuff; can't imagine what it was like irl, fecking terrifying I guess:roflmao:

Did you select the championship part 2?
The other one is corrupted, I even can't delete it.
 
Guys,

It may come as a shock to you :D but I'm switching to the Mazda for now.
I'm experimenting with profiles for the setting of my pedals and the one I have for the MX5 feels very good. I'd like to see if this makes me more competitive in our events.
