Mas Du Clos, worth a visit!
For you European rennlisters I can strongly advise a visit to the beautiful privately owned racetrack "Le Mas Du Clos" not too far from Clermont Ferrand in France. I went there last week and the track is simply amazing, contains sections where one can really exploit the horsepower of a GT3, some corners where you need big ***** to go really fast and a section which is quite slow and very technical.
A small vid from the end of the day (with my shot Cups
)
enjoy!

Killer fun track! thanks for sharing this. That track has some serious banking! I would love to do a track walk on that course to see just how much banking there is!
Will you be back there? Who owns the track? How did you get onto the track?

How Bad *** is that. You own a stack of Ferraris with your own fantastic track to run them! Now that's some serious stuff! 
Thanks for sharing your experience! Very little chance I will ever get there, but cool to know about it anyway!

That track looks incredible! I'd love to visit, rent a car, and drive it one day.

Pierre Bardinon said,”If I could keep one,it would be this one.”
The car has several GT class wins to its credit. He’s talking about his Ferrari 250 GTO 64 Number 5573 GT,the collector’s favorite,above even his Ferrari 330 P4.

Spent a day there this spring, awesome track!
The owner's Ferrari museum is located at the end of a braking zone behind a somewhat flimsy looking tire wall. I had visions of overcooking it in that corner and gaining entry to his private museum
