Top 10 Abandoned Race Tracks in Europe - Motorsport Urbex Compilation
In this video I take you to 10 abandoned circuits in Europe, all visited by myself. The selection has been made from an urban explorers perspective.
The abandoned race tracks are not ranked after their history or importance, but mainy how cool they are to explore.
Special thanks to Simon Smith for the voiceover.
Warning: If you continue you get information about my Top 10 of abandoned race tracks!
10. Motodrom Gelsenkirchen (Almaring) 0:00
9. Opel Test Track (Opel-Rennbahn) 1:46
8. Nivelles-Baulers 3:07
7. Nürburgring Südschleife 4:49
6. Brooklands 6:06
5. Monza Oval & Pirelli Track 7:46
4. Reims-Gueux 9:48
3. Leyland Test Track 11:42
2. Autodrom Sitges-Terramar 13:15
1. Autodromo Casale Monferrato (Morano Po) 14:43
A misfit in this list is the Leyland Test Track, which was actually not a race track but a test circuit. However, it was also used for rally stages, and one of the coolest abandoned circuits I visited.
Thanks for watching this video.

The Leyland test track was abandoned after they found that none of their vehicles could manage a full lap before breaking down. The site is probably littered with sundry parts that fell off in the process.

@Circuitsofthepast 4 года назад

I didn't found them when exploring the track :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f2HP_wQWSsM.html

Fantastic video! And oh yes, the Almaring ... my stepfather was a hobby stock car driver (he drove in the "Auto Speedway" series) so we visited the Almaring in Gelsenkirchen really often. Between the races there were also some kart "races" were the kids (like me ;-) ) drove behind the pace car. Thank you for the reactivation of my childhood memories :-)

we also had cool abandoned race track here in finland, it was called Keimola Motor Stadium and it was closed in late 70's and now the city has been developing that area for residental use

@Circuitsofthepast 4 года назад

I know, I wrote an article about it: www.circuitsofthepast.com/keimola-circuit/ Unfortunately I never visited it. But once I want to visit the residential area where it was. The old control tower is still there as a memorial. And I heard the roads follow the circuit layout and are named after drivers.

Have you visited Bremgarten near Berne in Switzerland. I went a few years ago and I found it hard to follow. You would do it better! Thanks for your work.

Bremgarten is still on my to-do-list. Would be a good idea for a combination with re-visits to Monza and Morano sul Po.

@tombooth35 4 года назад

Would be cool if you could find some clips of racing on the old tracks then add them to the video, I like the addition of drone shots to your videos 😊 keep up the good work.

@Circuitsofthepast 4 года назад

Thanks! Yes it would be cool to ad old footage to the videos. But the problem is, there is copyrigts on these old footage. Apart from the fact that I am serious when it comes to copyright, I don't want to risk my channel.

@khamsinshamal7988 3 года назад

Fascinating. First time I’ve heard about the Südschleie. If it had been restored, it would have made, together with the already very long Nordschleife, Nürburgring into a seriously long racetrack. Sad that Brooklands was abandoned - looked like it could have been a cool track. Are there any racing sims, like Grand Tourismo, where one can “drive” any of these original tracks, particularly the full Monza, the original Hockenheimring, the original Austrian Ring, Brooklands and others?

@Circuitsofthepast 3 года назад

Long ago I sim-raced on old race tracks with Grand Prix Legends. Today I'm not so into sim-racing anymore, so I actually don't know. But the're certanly will be sims where you can race the lost circuits.

@keaghanquenneville2967 3 года назад

I love the Reims greuox circuit sry for butchering the name because the remains r on a public road that anyone can drive next to. That would be so cool

@RJLightning68 2 года назад

Herman, would you be up to exploring abandoned racetracks in North America someday?? Edit - Just watched you cover some tracks on the west coast and very much enjoyed it. :)

@Circuitsofthepast 2 года назад

Thanks. Yes there are more abandoned tracks in North America on my list. I tried to contact the owners of North Wilkesboro Speedway, but they unfortunately didn't respond.

@RJLightning68 2 года назад

@@Circuitsofthepast That's probably due to them trying to get the track renovated and ready for future racing again.

@Chiaroscuro22 2 года назад

With the burgeoning popularity of electric racing series do you think that some of these circuits, which closed due to noise complaints, could be resurrected ?

@Circuitsofthepast 2 года назад

It would be possible. But someone should pay the bill to revive it.

@danigonzalez4299 3 года назад

About Terramar: images look very old. It does not look like that. Bankings do not go to 66 degrees. They go to 90 degrees!!!!!!!! There have been new works plus it looks way better. Yet it will never work again as there is a lot of buildings built after the track was closed and neighbours are against the Circuit

@leysssssasassasaas 3 года назад

@Circuitsofthepast 4 года назад

Yeah, if they lived there long before a circuit was built they have some right to complain. But if you move next to a race track you know there will be noise. If you don't like the sound of racing engines, you should not live near a race track.
