Top 10 Unknown Race Circuits You may Never Heard of...

[@johngeren1053]

In 1933 or 1934 Nuvolari took his new Maserati down the road from Spa to the Imperia factory and instructed them to stiffen his car's frame to cure its unpredictability. Then he won the Belgian Grand Prix with it. This forced Alfa to re-enter racing with the P3 that Nuvolari and others had had great successes with the previous year.

It would be interesting if we could see a Google Earth view of the current location with a diagram of the circuit overlaid on it, just to give it some context of what it was and what it is now.

[@leomux2004]

I dunno why, but everytime I see this channel I wished I was rich to restore some of those circuits LOL A man can only dream...

[@bigsarge8795]

Believe me - so do I

[@Athertoons]

Love Herman's work. The feeling of finding an old abandoned race track (which wasn't fully demolished or overrun by housing) is quite unique for us nostalgia buffs. I experienced it at Catalina Park, NSW, and Port Wakefield in South Australia.

[@Circuitsofthepast]

Thanks!

Oh my goodness this is wonderful...I'm American living in Italy...just a matter of meters from Parco Ferrari where I bicycle and train...so good to see it included in this video...thank you!! As I'm sure you know some of the monuments within the park include Fangio, Villenueve, and Senna.

Keimola, Finland. Almost all of the F1 legends of the 1960s & 1970s raced there.

[@Circuitsofthepast]

Yes I know. And we have it in another top 10: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJTdmoxtYtp-d6M

Eläintarhanajot in Helsinki Finland. No any english name but can be translated as Eläintarha grand prix. Eläintarha means Zoo in finnish but there has never been a Zoo in that area. Races held between 1932-1963. The layout is still there in form of sidewalks and small roads.

[@las10plagas]

cool, never heard of the Opel Rennbahn. it's just a 3h drive from me. I'll visit it some day :) the Motodrom Gelsenkirchen is even closer! =)

[@Circuitsofthepast]

Das ist bestimmt eine Reise wert.

[@las10plagas]

@@Circuitsofthepast :D hehe hey! ja, bestimmt!

[@petebeatminister]

Strange, I lived in Bottrop, a neighbouring city of Gelsenkirchen in the 60s and 70s, but I never heard of a race track in the area. I had a cross bike that I drove on the huge lands of the coal mines - ilegally of course.

Love Almaring on AC

[@YuriBruschi]

Bellissimo video Herman 🏆 Grazie per avermi menzionato ❤ Ciao, buon weekend 🍀

[@Circuitsofthepast]

Grazie e buon fine settimana!

[@two-eyedRoy]

Much like Catalina Park Raceway (Katoomba NSW, Australia), some of these tracks would be brilliant to get up and running again as criterium racing tracks for cycling.

In the seventies,we stayed at a camping site on the Circuit la Charade near Clermont-Ferrand France

Sitges has recently been released for the sim racing game Assetto Corsa.

Truly, fascinating stuff. I found the rooftop track(s) especially intriguing. Thank you. ☮

[@Circuitsofthepast]

You're welcome.

[@nelsonbergman7706]

Thanks for posting. Was Imperia actually a race track or just a test track. That roof top looked narrow and "sketchy". Out of the 10 I had only hear of 2.

[@Circuitsofthepast]

You're welcome. Imperia was only a test track, and yes, it was relative narrow.

[@mauricioce9806]

Very cool video!👋👋

[@Circuitsofthepast]

Thanks!

[@christianhaltermann5295]

Wonderful... I still miss Kaldenkirchen and Baarlo...

[@Circuitsofthepast]

I tried to contact the owner of Baarlo several times. But they never give a reaction. So that door is closed.

[@christianhaltermann5295]

@@Circuitsofthepast that is really a pity. It was a great time there. Your Videos are great.

Nice video dude!!!!!! thanksss

You're welcome.

So sad to learn that LEZENNES circuit is closed. I drove on it during the 2000's.

[@billy54bob]

Oddest that I personaly saw was Formula Ford ar White City (West London) dog and (occasionally stock car/hot rod) track. Ps. Also where QPR played while "The Shed" was being "modernised" That was so wrong

[@steveh1546]

And speedway at White City, now another BBC building

[@duckheadgaming]

Great video!

[@Circuitsofthepast]

Thanks!

[@motelghost477]

You should do a video about the Carrieres de Beez.

[@Circuitsofthepast]

Is that an excisting circuit?

[@minibus9]

awesome video

[@Circuitsofthepast]

Thanks!

[@Anandgyan]

I like your giggling!

How about Aintree on the edge of Liverpool and not in it as pundits claim.regularly held F1 races up to the 1960’s and motorcycle races in the 70’s.

[@Circuitsofthepast]

I have been at Aintree. Check this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3S1XqufqpmIiJo

[@terryjacob8169]

Aintree, venue of the 1955, 1959, and 1961 F1 British Grand Prix.

[@johngeren1053]

The Modena autodrome was already used for testing, and also considered unsafe in the 1950s. High curbing, intended to prevent cutting. corners would easily flip a speeding car. Maserati's chief mechanic Bertocchi often held the lap record there because he was so familiar with it. Perhaps the worst thing Ferrari ever did (other than making mobile ball bearing factories for the Axis) was to interrupt Castelotti's honeymoon to make him go to Modena and try to wrest the Modena lap record from Maserati.
