I am looking for this track. I can't find it anywhere! It looks like the site that used to host it, or something, is gone (www.racesim.net), and the site that is supposed to apparently be its only current distro point (www.theuspits.com) doesn't seem to have it. From their tracks section I have downloaded all the graphic updates for this track, I'm just missing the bloody .dat file! lol If this track is in fact obviously located for download on this site or elsewhere and I've just managed to miss it all this time, please feel free to point out my stupidity, but also include the link to the track. ;) Thanks in advance Scott.

I'm curious - is this in Quebec, about 100km north of Montreal? When I visited Quebec a few weeks ago I went a place with a similar name - it is a ski resort and had a ferrari show on at the the time. Is there are racetrack near there somewhere?

http://www.theuspits.com/owheel/gpl/index.html then click on the "gpl tracks list" link on the left hand side, it should show up then, yes, we know the place is a little hard to navigate and we're working on a major redesign Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--

<snip> Yes, Le Circuit Mont Tremblant (I may have the name slightly misspelled), is located on the outskirts of the village of Mt. Tremblant, where the famous ski resort is located. The track is also known by the name of the town and/or region (I forget the exact details of the geography): St. Jovite. There is currently a bit of buzz going on there because the track is starting to get some increased use, and some of the locals are complaining about the noise (and property values). -- Darryl

Yep. Can't tell you where exactly though. Elrikk (an old Montrealer)

Dont know about him, but im an aussie and agree with him.. basically. Our track was closed for the same reason, too loud even tho it has been there since the 50-60's. Its happening to a few tracks in the local area, especially moto-x tracks. Luke -=87=- "Bob G" <[email hidden]> wrote in -message news:aFSd9.34219$[email hidden]...

was a > > racetrack in their backyard. LOL, well the thing is, the track was there LONG ago, back in the 60's. They should had known better. My attitude is pretty much right-wing (in a certain way). It's their fault for choosing to live there, knowing that there's a racetrack. It's like those people living near airports and whine about it. WHY did you went to live there first? Makes no sense!!! :) Not only that, but hey it's Mont-Tremblant, one of the biggest ski center in North America. Those people expect tranquility? Trust me Bob, I go to Mont-Tremblant a couple of times per year (for it's nightlife) and those stupid wankers that have 500,000$ houses and whine about the sound, it's pure bollocks. Just the city itself and all the foreign people brings an incredible activity to the old city, so there's no tranquility there. There's also some sound isolation products, I'm sure they can afford it ;) -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- http://www.ymenard.8m.com/ -- This announcement is brought to you by the Shimago-Dominguez Corporation - helping America into the New World...

I was just pulling your chain a bit. Many years ago my folks purchased a house right on a golf course, and then spent the next five years complaining about broken windows :-) "ymenard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:p5Wd9.11023$[email hidden]...

Tremblant was used for years in the late sixties and seventies (including twice for the Canadian Grand Prix, alternating with Mosport), but then almost became unusable in recent years due to lack of maintenance....so over time the locals got used to it being there physically, but not actually in use. Now it has had a multi-million $ make-over and the noise begins.

Yep. The link at the databse is correct, I just test downloaded the full track. When on the GPL page at the US Pits you should click "gpl tracks list" and not "tracks". Cheers! /Magnus T "Bob G" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:<QLNd9.33518$[email hidden]>...
