Circuit Charade Clermont-Ferrand old & new layout - Track Visit

Circuit Charade Clermont-Ferrand old & new layout - Track Visit In this video a compilation of my two visits to the old Clermont-Ferrand street circuit, and the new permanent Charade Circuit. The Clermont-Ferrand Circuit, was a street circuit around an extinct volcano in the Puy-de-Dôme region in France. The 5 Miles long circuit opened in 1958 and contained a challenging mix of different corners and elevations. For that reason it was nicknamed the French Nürburgring. The old Clermont-Ferrand Circuit hosted the Formula One French Grand Prix four times between 1965 and 1972. Because the old Clermont-Ferrand Circuit was found too dangerous it lost the French Grand Prix and other international races. Untill 1988 it was used for national races. Then the street circuit closed for motorsport. However, the General Council of Puy-de-Dôme recognized the interest of a circuit to the local economy. So, with their Financial support a new 2.47 Miles circuit was built. Just like Spa-Francorchamps, they used a part of the old circuit and built a new connection. The new circuit opened in 1989 and was now it was a permanent race track, known under the name “Circuit de Charade”. Some facts and figures about the new "Circuit de Charade": Opening 1989 Length 3.975 Km 2.470 Miles 18 Corners The Charade Circuit is a permanent circuit since 2000. It hosted national championship races for the French Supertouring Championship and the FFSA GT Championship in the 1990's. Currently, the circuit hosts historic motorsport events, track days and driving courses. With special thanks to Circuit de Charade for their hospitality. And Simon Smith for the voice over.
