FRA - FRANCE
MAS DU CLOS
Description Permanent street circuit, built by Bardinon family near to family castle for driving their own colleciton cars. At first it was built as a kart track (maybe using link between La Tuor and Le Restaurand corners), in mid 1960s it was lengthened up to 3100 m. Thanks to its secrecy, it was used also for test - Formula 1 too - far from photographers and their cameras.
