Clermont-Ferrand Road - Approximation of the old Charade Circuit.

X2x58hSDh6f4OJMSMG_0.png


Approximation of the old Charade Circuit in France.
Narrow road track (10m) and fast bend with some technical areas.
Will attempt to increase accuracy of path in some sections.
Foliage on sidetrack may possibly cause slow down.

I will try it. I'm from there, and maybe yours will be better than the one i made last week. The challenge was to place the road at the right place to be as near as possible of the real geography of chaine des puys
Unfortunately, there is no volcanos in belgium

Did a 8-lap race in yours, and the start of your downhill had me sweating with the consecutive curves followed by the fast section, my track misses that kind of fun!

And yeah it's such a large area that it is damn hard to find a place that not only fit the whole track but had any semblance in terrain. The track doesn't fit in any of the starting lines in Andalusia. Looking forward for your opinion since the closest I've got from the actual road is google maps and videos.

in yours, after a few laps:
- the width is more realistic than mine, but in real life with my car, between le golf and les jumeaux, i cry, lol. it's the reason that i made it with a non realistic width ( 10 meters vs seven )
-your track has a wrong slope between gravenoire and la ferme. it's always rising. in my first tries it was like yours, but the speed of the car was not realistic
- the slope before le petit pont is better in yours. maybe this is the most insidious turn of the track. I saw a car in a tree there one time.
- you do not put the north at the right place. I did it to try to manage the blindness from the sun between le petit pont and rosier. in real life this is a major difficulty in this ascent

in mine:
-the first turn after the pit is in wrong side. It's just to leave the exiting cars outward of the path
-the first straight line after pit is too short. it was to turn before a big valley in the map
-the belvedere is too close to manson, for find a slope between le golf and gravenoire, with a maximum near les jumeaux... I have a friend who lives near the road in charade, i apologise to put his house in the trash.
-there is not enough turns. but it's a game, and my first try with 50 turns and a 7 meters width was too difficult.

I would just try to recreate sensations you have when you drive your car on the track.
Last month, waiting for track editor, i've made a drive on it with my gps recorder. the gpx file is not more usable as a picture...
Without the area la ferme-manson witch is the new ring, closed to circulation, it takes me 8 minutes to do a lap, without having a regard to the landscape.

the f1 lap record in 1972 was 1'53''. wow.
