TIME: 0830 PDT, Jan 20 TRACK: Circuit de Charade (formerly Circuit Clermont-Ferrand)  DOWNLOAD: dl.dropbox.com/u/25238931/1_1rf70Charade.rarTRACK NOTES: "Built in 1958 around the sides of an extinct volcano, the originally 8.055 km (5.005-mi) long Charade was described as an even twistier and faster version of the Nürburgring. Some drivers like Jochen Rindt in the 1969 French Grand Prix complained of motion sickness, and wore open face helmets, just in case. But 1970 was no better- Rindt was hit in the face by a rock, something that the circuit was usually littered with, and often caused punctures on the track." RACE LENGTH: 90 minutes timed event QUALIFICATION: By Live Racers times at 0001, Jan 20 RACE CONDITIONS: Day RUNOFFS: Not tested FUEL: 2x TIRES: 1x |

Give it a try Wolf. If it's better, we'll switch.

If I recall correctly...it's not for the faint of computers. If we did go that route, we'd need to make sure EVERYONE ran it ahead of time to ensure they don't have issues. I think it's a bit of a resource hog like TF...though not as extreme.

OK, I just ran it. 641 MB VRAM usage and I didn't see a single stutter.
I love this track. I want to use it instead. Laps are around 3.5 minutes so much smaller than Nurburgring.
I will load both the short and long on the server (people can advance from within the session). If there are no complaints about the long version by Tuesday 8 PM Pacific I'll be switching to this track.

Just run it the long version, all settings at max with 20 AI and as smooth as butter. Not a track to make an error or be knocked off, do that on the downhill switchbacks and it's race over. But I'm happy to run it, it's fun.

Should be an "interesting" track for the Rover...
