...which three would it be?

If you seen my post in the 2016 demo discussion we'd like to throw in a 3rd track to show off GPL in its full glory. With that in mind, here are the criteria:

No Papyrus track, no Spa67

You can find tracks listed here and here, keep in mind that these lists may not be complete.
Why no Spa? See the demo discussion, but TLDR is too unreliable to load for a demo.

Please submit your tracks in the format below as it makes for easier processing later.

track1
track2
track3

I'll let this thread run until the end of the month and than run a poll if we still cant decide. Can the mods make this thread a bit more visible so it gets a good response? Thanks.

Goodwood:                  a little bit like Watkins Glen: a solid track to learn the basics.
Zolder 67:                    this track feels well balanced and a good pick for drivers who think they can go one step higher after Goodwood.
Clermont-Ferrand 65: a track with a high difficulty rate with a variation of slow and fast turns. Challenging, but fun track with an amazing scenery (and easter eggs )

I don't think Spa 67 is too unreliable to be used in a demo... but it's true that it requires a crapton of CPU power. It could be used to see if the CPU is up to the task: if you can run that and a full grid at full detail, nothing will stop you!

Goodwood for it's a great track for novices: not too fast, but technical enough to make the rookie see where he/she is losing ground.
Clermont Ferrand '65 because it's the French Green Hell. Yeah, that's about it.
Enna Pergusa because it's a wide track with few turns, where high speeds are possible and power can be unleashed almost fully.

1. Goodwood
2. Brands Hatch
3. Montjuic

Goodwood because it's a simple track to learn.
Brands because it has a good mixture of corners, but is still easy enough to learn
Montjuic because it shows what GPL can do, and street circuits always look superb.

I love Clermont but I think it's just too long for people to learn easily - if they are that interested they would probably have already moved on to a full version of GPL. Other super-long tracks like the Targa: even more so.
