Can anyone guide me to a worthwhile French past-racing forum, similar to TNF if there is such an animal?  I need to seek some advice...

Thank you for that link - one of the top-topics seems to be about Hotel de France - we´ve just stayed there for two nights, so very interesting to see that.

Now only thing to do is to improve my French.......

I have no idea if this one is any use, as I didn't get as far as signing up for it. There's a general racing forum:

 

https://www.forumact...ses-automobiles

 

And a sub-forum: "forum des passionnés d'automobiles sportives d'hier et d'aujourd'hui"

Whether they could meet your need to find out the length of baguette eaten by Victor Rigal after retiring from the 1908 GP, I do not know.

I think Autodiva is the sole forum that can be compared to TNF.

I think Autodiva is the sole forum that can be compared to TNF.

 

EVEN From my rather limited experience with it, I tend to agree with that thought.

There is another site--  Cardisiac Sport Auto covering lots of French stuff but also has a historic forum. It's fairly good, but I agree with others that Autodiva is the best one.

Mr Goddard looking down at this very moment cursing you 😁

[Doug Nye]

Oh yes - absolutely right.

 

(Incidentally, M. Rigal's consolatory baguette escaped uneaten since his Clément-Bayard survived the '08 Grand Prix to finish a respectable fourth just under 35 minutes behind the winner - one team member assuring me back in the '50s that "...Gordon Blue done the team cookin' that night" - although this bit might be untrue).
