Le Mans Pond

[Bentley boy]

Excuse me if this has been discussed before  but do any of you know why there is a Silverstone GP track shaped pond\pool in the middle of the 24 hour circuit 
If you have Google earth it's inside of the Porsche curves along the Route de tours near the tennis courts.

Is it the BRDC's French retreat

You are absolutly right, think they are 4 football pitches, it looks as if it was a new development when the pic was taken, how odd.

I'll check it out, but it sounds a bit fishy to me

Sounds like there might be some investigatin' to be done.

No I am not volunteering.

Well it was close they're both played with balls & don't have an engine so I couldn't tell the difference

I hope it's a pond or they've been overrun with algae  maybe they wanted a grass effect
