While the race is still on (seven hours to go! plenty of time to get a lap in  ;) ), here goes a bit of background on the track. It is a Stunts adaptation of Rouen-Les-Essarts, a former road circuit which hosted a few editions of the French Grand Prix in the 50s and 60s. Here is some on-board footage showing what it was like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwIfa0w1lxQ . The Torino was a period-appropriate choice for this race, but also, as @alanrotoi noted, it turned out a very good fit for the sinuous nature of the circuit.

Sinuous but not a hard track for noRH races! You did an excellent job here. There should be a list of tracks for noRH. In fact, I'll make it! :D

Also I love when a track or a car or an event has a background. Thank you!
