They really have given up on the 7f/8f races. There's no Topspeed ratings for them and the standards don't exist anymore. They used to do them, and you can still find old 7f/8f races where they have TS ratings for them, but the standard time is now gone. Go look, it's pretty bizarre.

The quality of RP standards is variable. I wouldn't discount the ones for the big British tracks in the same way, although some of them do look shonky, as they're based on plenty of accurate data that we know the Topspeed compilers have. But their French ones? Like I said before, when they don't bother to differentiate between the same distance over the Grande Piste and the Moyenne Piste, you know that they can't be too preoccupied with accuracy.
