Exploring F1’s Ultimate Abandoned Race Track 

Ignoring the obviously bent fence next to the locked gate where definitely no one trespasses into the old grandstands....

You can tell Matt loves his job

Next up, Valencia street circuit

how to tell that a youtuber doesn't do abandoned videos: *they don't climb over fences into restricted ares*

Aston Martion license plate KVI8? K-vi-eight? Kyviat? Hmmm.. tin foil hat mode enganged!

This is killer, you guys are seriously upping the quality of content here. i'd subscribe a second time if I could, much love from across the pond.

Could you visit Keimola before its gone. Its a track located just outside Helsinki Finland that was closed due to noise complaints... and now there's a motorway next to it. Edit: the observation tower is going to stay and some parts of the track are turned into normal roads. Edit 2: it wasn't used in F1 races but some famous F1 drivers did race there. For example Jim Clark, Graham Hill, Jack Brabham, Keke Rosberg, Mika Häkkinen and Mika Salo.

This is a really good series, a lot of historical interest, I'd love to see more. I would like to submit suggestions for some (probably unlikely) locations for the future - Aintree, British Grand Prix Zandvoort, Dutch Grand Prix Valencia Street Circuit, Spain (really unlikely) Buddh International, Delhi, India.

Actually I’m very happy for an old abandoned building that I doesn’t have horrible tags everywhere. Good job whoever decided to preserve this marvelous place !

Valencia, Imola, Zolder, Magny-Cours, Aintree would all be good tracks to visit! Love this series though waited ages for this

Awesome video! Very professional made without loosing its WTF1 „from fans for fans“ - touch. It’s the right balance between professional and loose so it feels very natural and not „forced“. It was very great to watch and really interesting, well done! :)

A few for more episodes: Brands Hatch, Great Britain Estoril, Portugal Watkins Glen, United States Valencia Street Circuit, Spain Imola, San Marino, Italy Korean International Circuit, South Korea Istanbul Park, Turkey Buddh International Circuit, India. I know at some of this tracks are still using with MotoGP and stuff but these would be cool places

Waited far too long for this. Please make the next one a lot sooner. The potential to be the best series on RU-vid. 👍👍👍👍

Matt when will F1 RU-vidr Championship return?

It's too bad this series hasn't continued, I find this stuff fascinating.

The cave is where Verstappen was supposed to be locked in when he takes somebody out of the track.

The Aston Martin Vantage has got WTF1 Orange trim!

you should go to imola and pay respects to senna and roland ratsburger

This is the best entertainment I had today. That's why I subscribed. Thanks mate

Next time the old monza track! Pleeasse 🙏🏻

Whoever did those graphics did a fantastic job 👌

You should go to Brooklands and check out the tunnel under the banking there. It's the world's first motor racing circuit.

Rory managed to get some really nice shots, very creative and soothing angles, great work mate.

I had the chance to visit it last summer and it was a great experience. It is "possible" to get up those sketchy stairs and seat on the grandstands but you have to climb the wall on the right at 6:33 to get there, but for me it was worth the little risk as the view from up there is amazing.

This is the first of your videos that i have watched.....it was funny and fascinating at the same time. ''Am i gonna get shot?'' ....since you weren't in Texas....I think you were pretty safe. Great work!

I've been there once at the main straight and it's just a normal road. The pitboxes, stands and some other stuff are still there but I didn't know this much was still left....

These videos, these places, not just old F1 tracks but most abandoned locations around the world, they fill me with a kind of emotion I can’t grasp. Especially with the music you added upon arriving at the track, it conveys it well. It’s probably the affiliation with how these places were once so full of life, so commonly used and relied on and now they’re just neglected and lost to time until another curious, or passionate person comes across once in a while to explore them.

Visit the Südschleife at the Nürburgring if there are still remnants of it!

6:37 my little brother when I lock my bedroom's door

This was great, Love Reims, I'd love to see you visit AVUS or Pescara next, both are gloriously absurd!

I love this series, I’d enjoy seeing Matt drive round the old Spa track!

Wow this is so emotional and no it’s not the music. Just seeing the old grand stand and pit area and buildings and such. You can just imagine the classic cars and drivers driving passed. It’s incredible to see it looks like the 1960’s bar the new tarmac. Amazing to see.

I love these videos so much. A track i'd love to see on here is Watkins Glen International Raceway.

Some years later ,finding the old Williams's factory

3:35 No, Matt! Don't sleep in the car when there's an F1 Themed hotel bed right next to you!

As an archaeologist loving this series. Cannot wait to see more. Speaking of forgotten circuits few know about my home city held some f2 and f3 street races think in the 70's

Rouen-Les-Essarts .Another French track.

Explore more of abandoned F1 venues! I love this!

Very nice job Matt, as always! As a good Belgian, I would suggest to go explore the old Spa, there's quite some interesting pieces of track and memorabilia left out there in the Ardennes 😉

Wow i never expected a video on the circuit of my home town but here it is and it made me remember many memories about old car meetings here on the circuit. I remember that 90/2000 F1 cars was here sometimes and a lot of old race cars.

I've been waiting for this!

Maybe you could visit some modern tracks that no longer exist like Valencia circuit (most likely) korea circuit, india circuit

Went to Reims a week ago whilst traveling from Porto to Holland. Many thanks for informing me of what is still there to see was a great start to my morning and broke up the journey

I love the video of exploring the old track. I would love to see you explore Valencia. I know it's not a classic track but it was one of my favourites from recent times and I found it sad when they didn't go back to racing around that amazing track.

"There's a moth coming towards me and it might be a ghost" Ahaha!!

This was filmed like 6 years ago wasn’t it? 😂😂 remembered seeing the insta posts 😂

Great episode really enjoyed it. One of my bucket list places to visit one day. Should do next episode on Pau F1 circuit

Really great video! Kept me interested the whole way through. Try and visit Brooklands for the next one

Next Track Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit is South Africa

Circuit de Montjuic (Barcelona)!!

This video is in-saaane! BBC would have NEVER gone down that path, best coverage!

I can't wait for these to return

It looks like it has fared better since its closing than North Wilksboro.

Anyone getting an old school top gear vibe or is it just me?

This series is simply awesome! I love to learn about those old tracks. I've already been to Reims but didn't manage to visit the track. Guess I'll have to do that one day :) For one of the next videos, I would like to see a more recent track: Valencia (European Grand Prix). I heard that its state is rather awful and would love to see what's exactly behind that.

I live in Reims, all septembers we have a celebration day with lots of cars, it's fantastic !

As Jimmy "Plz no punterino" Broadbent would put it... Zolder

I'd love to see the Casablanca circuit in Morocco. Great series, by the way.

I don't really like to be born in France but there is one thing I can be glad of, it's the fact that I'm born in the city of this abandoned race track and I would love that this track open for 1 race, it could be amazing

This series really needs to be continued!

Next? Well it has to be Monza, get the Aston up on the banking. Also history is awesome.

Technicly in Brno we have old f1 track too, there was race in 1948, it wasnt f1 but the cars were basicly F1 its the Masaryk circuit

When I went back in 2015 my mate climbed over the green fence and found a full archery range set up in there. Also, as it was a windy day, unfortunatley I watched one of the 'Calvaire' posts fall over (Poste No.2) would be nice to know if it was ever fixed and put back. Such an amazing place.

Made a Daytrip to Reims in 2013. I see, a lot has changed since then. When I was there, you still could sit on the grandstands and the where closed and didn't even have windows.

Nivelles-Baulers former track now its home to trees and a business park

Can you do AVUS circuit the fastest track Ever used by f1 at Germany

Nice to see some of F1's history covered. Good job. Future tracks it would be nice to see visited would be: Rouen-Les-Essarts, Charade (part of it is still a track, but most of the old F1 circuit reverted to public roads), Montjuic and Pedralbes (both in Barcelona so a 2 for 1 visit!), Nivelles-Baulers, Bremgarten, Ain-Diab, Adelaide. Some only abandoned by F1 circuits: Mosport, Mont-Tremblant, Buenos Aires, Dijon, Jarama, East London, Anderstorp, Aida.

very interesting vlog content, gonna subs now.

Maybe zolder next time The place were Villeneuve died😭

Come on Matty Matt, who's the girl on your phone's screen saver at 7:35?

Awesome beautiful! More pls

Jacarepaguá Circuit was demolished. A new circuit was builden in Rio de Janeiro.

“Did they have pens back then?” Bottom of screen: _Invented in 3000BC_ I mean...

TBH you could have done 13 minutes of sexy Aston Martin shots and I don’t think anyone would have cared. Such a sexy car 😍😍

I like this series, keep it up👍🏼

Nice Edit!

Into the pits we must go. Ee eye ee eye ee eye oh

I have stayed in that hotel, or at least i'm pretty sure

9:11 Matty coming out with the banger tunes

Wow! I am so jealous! Need to add that to my bucket list!

Zoo wee mama!

Go to the dead meme of Raidillon

I'd say, make up a list with all forgotten tracks and make a poll out of it. That's easier than suggesting, plus that way you can make a list of the most popular and tick those off.

Amazing and informative series! Would one day like to visit these tracks myself, would be nice if Valencia give you access to the purpose built parts of the street circuit.

Hey guys it's ruby tube back with another 3 am video art the spooky hour!!!!

*REIMS-GUEX still cancelled soz*

This series is really good i'd like to see more. I'd like to see a episode with the Monza oval

Great video. If you head to the states, do this @ north wilksboro speedway

Brooklands

Amazing video 👌

As a racing fan and someone who dabbles in urbex, this is really awesome! Also you should go to the abandoned Caterham F1 facility, it is a very interesting place.

Crazy one (you can actually do a whole series of these, the forgotten (and/or now IndyCar) Grand Prix circuits of North America. The US alone has like 6 that I can think of (Watkins Glen, Detroit Street Circuit, Phoenix Street Circuit, Las Vegas/Caesars Palace, Sebring).

That is so cool the highway is part of the old track.

geez alot of work goes into theese vids. love it. id say a suggestion too. go to imola.

I know it's not necesserily an F1 track, but a visit to the remaining parts of the Sudschliefe could be an awesome addition to this series!

Bro we need more of this series

I would highly recommend you to get a drone for this series - i think you could get a lot of amazing shots with it. Also very interesting video, i really like your content, guys!

If I were to have the opportunity to buy anything. I would buy abandon race tracks and turn them into grade 1 circuits

Great video.

Please do more of these
