If my memory serves me right, they used to hold the French Grand Prix on it way back when. edit Not as far back as I thought. http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/cir-016.html

Thank you for speaking out our anniversary here at this circuit
If people are interested to come and I will undertake to be your contact with my poor English.
the advantage is that the circuit has been reserved for us alone, ie for 130 euros you will be able to drive five hours!!
to pit and go on the track when you wish.
camping costs about 30 euros for two days hotel costs 150 euros for two days
So much for the first explanations

As I said at Spa Joe, I just can't commit to go until I have had some more hospital tests and got their results.
As a general point folks, if you can go, do so. I have also been a member of the French club for a couple of years now; their club events are excellent and they are a sound bunch of people.
You will enjoy yourselves.

Bugger. I have a track day booked on Monday the 23rd at the ring. I would have done this had I known. It is an awesome circuit and is known as the French Nurburgring.
What day is the track day? Sat or Sunday? If Sat I will see.

Well Folks,i am just home from a fantastic weekend at the Charade circuit. The circuit itself is awesome !! B Bob was right it can be a car killer. 4 hard laps are the max. But what a circuit! I had 4 laps of fun with a brand new Nissan 350 thing. He is running 300 hp plus.What a car! I am proud to say i eased off and let him pass on the last lap.My toyo 888 are just fantastic and i pulled away from him on all the corners.I cant believe these 888s they are just mental.The temperature was around 34 degrees all day. After 4 laps i did a cool down lap,then a drive around the car parks(loads of room). Some of you Spa guys will know Ced 51 with the track prepaired 16vt.Great car great bloke. He did the best time of 2 mins 18 seconds.That is very respectaible. Some very well prepaired coupes there this weekend. 2 new renault rs meganes were there also,they did there best,and were great,but our fiats were to much for them i am proud to say. We had track instruction for half an hour in the morning and the after lunch restart.It was all very professional. Its no surprise that the track instructor new very little about our coupes,but at the end he was very very impressed,and i think he may have taken a 350 hp coupe out for a spin,i am not sure though. Julio took my RHD coupe out for a few laps,he enjoyed it,but it was very strange to him. Alot of the French boys enjoyed sitting in my coupe and just smiled. At one point,i must have been cornering so hard,as my power steering fluid spilled out of the breather tube. Pics and video links to follow.

On Sunday alot of people went on a run through the mountains,they may have gone on it then.I will try to find out Bob. Julio did not go,as his rear wheel bearings were shot after the track day.He said they were cheap copies and this time he is only using Fiat bearings !

I was happy to meet you again Joseph. Charade is really a great track and I hope I will go round this track an other time even if it is in the middle of nowhere Your comment on your tires makes me think that I want those tires for Spa 2011 (I have to save money before)
