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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
