24. Where is Maison Blanche? on the outside of the circuit near the Porsche Curves
It is the old white painted farmhouse on the left as you approach the campsite of the same name. Probably most famous for the Bentley crash. Ferrari and Porsche collected turf in the past, also claimed a GT40 driver in 1969(?) The road is part of the original circuit
ETA Date of GT40 crash
