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

Well it was close

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

maybe they wanted a grass effect
