#TrophéeDAuvergne

The Trophée d’Auvergne was a French sports-car race held from 1958 to 1974 on the Circuit de Charade near Clermont-Ferrand, officially known as the Circuit automobile de montagne d’Auvergne. Measuring 8.055 kilometres and renowned for its exceptionally winding and demanding layout, Charade was often compared to the Nürburgring. First contested in 1958, the year the circuit opened, the event was initially known as the Trois Heures Internationales d’Auvergne. In 1961 it adopted a six-hour format, divided into three-, two- and one-hour heats, and became known as the 6 Heures de Charade. The 1962 and 1963 editions formed part of the FIA World Sportscar Championship, making it the second French round of the series after the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The race later counted towards the European Sportscar Championship in 1973 and 1974. It was generally held in June until 1963 and in July from 1966 onwards.
