There’s been a lot of F1 tracks in the sports history. Some are still being used, some are lost to time, and some have left behind places that you can go and explore…

No Solitude-Ring? That was one of the greatest tracks in its day.
Not an F1 circuit obviously, but if you want something like east london but in the UK, there's Oliver's Mount 🙂
8:44 "hes done it again this guy"
Avus was last used in the 90s by dtm
Started watching with the wacky points systems video, have been a huge fan since. Such a refreshing take on F1 content! Keep it up V
Yoooo this is by far the juciest video !!! all the history, that insanely tedious animations and editing !!
Also congrats on the sponsor!! keep it up big man, your videos are always awesome
South African here. We just named a lot of stuff after directions. South Africa, East London, Western Cape, Eastern Cape, Northern Cape, And North West Province. 🤷♂
Technically Sochi is an abandoned track also, since they started the teardown not so long ago
tbf, east london in south africa is east of london in england (despite it being far more south than it is east), i always figured thats why it was called east london
This was extremely interesting! Reims-Gueux looks the most appealing to visit honestly, love how it's maintained. How cool.
Can you give a update on the elo engine?
you were so close to it BUT SOMEHOW YOU MISED PORTUGAL
you mised monsanto in portugal
Went to sochi this summer, the track has no barriers, only curbs and the asphalt paint left, you can just take a bicycle or a scooter and drive around, maybe just walk, really nice and fun experience, there's also 2 karting tracks near it
Man, I just got back from a holiday in South Africa and if I would have known this, I would have definitly gone and driven around the track 🙁
Unexpected Nett hier
If you come to German, I can be your „local“ tourguide and I will give you a „Nett hier, aber waren Sie mal in Baden-Württemberg“ Sticker
I wonder where the inspiration for this video came from… ;P
infact every abandoned track can be explored just look out for police
Also you forgot Rouen Les-essart
If you go to Crystal Palace in London, you can see the remnants of the old crystal palace circuit. They sometimes do time trial on it, or so Ive heard. It was used in the f2 championship, and they even had f1 cars race there, although I am not sure if it was a championship round, as opposed to just a race.
10:28 “no more tires for you!” Had me dying💀
Do go there!
This is a bit of me this video.
I’m a runner and currently on a quest to run races around as many F1 circuits as possible – have competed at events round Silverstone, Zandvoort, Monza and Spa so far, with hopefully Catalunya next year.
The odd Strava around an old circuit for free is also welcome 😊
there's one at Aintree which is now abandoned, the very same place where the horse racing takes place, think there's still few areas where you can still see the old track
I used to live at one of the streets of the Gávea street circuit, in Rio de Janeiro. It was used from 1933 to 1954 (sadly, never used at a F1 championship) and it had some crazy features:
– 11km
– more than 100 curves
– tram tracks
– a beautiful sinuous climb between the mountain and the sea
– a 170 meters high descent full of super tight hairpins (the circuit's nickname was Devil's Springboard)
– cobblestones
– a canal right next to one of the straights (and occasionally cars would end up into it)
And the cool thing is that all the streets are still there, totally driveable (no tram tracks anymore though, but the canal and the climbs are still there)
If Circuit Prince George is free to the public, we really need iRacing to go scan it. It wouldn't cost them much and give them to opportunity to do another "throwback" track.
This has become one of my favourite F1 channels. I really do hope you can find the funds to maybe visit these and give us an IRL tour! It would have been nice to see some stats on screen like last winner and how many times it was raced on etc. 🙂
This is a splendid video.
I went and looked at the remains if Valencia last time I was there. The parts in the harbor are mostly city streets that you can walk down. A bunch of the western sectio. Is behind fences, but they're was some kind of homeless camp of tents inside.
If you go to Scarborough, you can drive on Oliver’s mount circuit anytime, as long as there’s no racing, free of charge! It’s public road and has great views over the town. Ok it’s a bike circuit but all the greats have raced there
would love to see you visit charade, looks like plenty of medium speed corners you could enjoy 😉
Not an actual f1 track, but in goldcoast QLD you can drive the whole track en some kerbs are there whole year round. I've been to the race an my hotel was in the middle of the track. I've driven multiple laps around the track while getting back. Quite cool!
Had no idea about Marko, crazy story!
Fun fact: avus still hosted some races in the 90s
Wow
I feel dumb for asking, but isin't sochi abandonded too?
Make a video about the perfect F1 schedule with the best tracks across history. Maybe try for one track per decade
On the way to Magny Cours in 2008 to watch the last Grand Prix there, we stopped at the old Rouen circuit. That was a great little experience.
I don't suppose you've already made a video about the tracks lost to time?
Nett hier! A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one
Petition to get Mr.V a day at Charade circuit in a 50s F1 car.
I'm so sad that we actually had a gp in Ukraine but it was before f1 (1930-1933) so I can't even expect to see it in videos like this 😭😭 but this was very interesting to watch nonetheless
Mr V. and S1ap on location crossover when?
An interesting video you could do with idea of old tracks is which former f1 track would be the best to bring back to Callender.
Personally I'm thinking watkins glen
Fun fact: someone recreated one of the versions of AVUS in FH5
East London – Full of scallywag cockneys with ridiculous accents
"Kor bligh mi, eets muuri pawpins!"
Argh. I was in Barcelona last year – walking the Montjuic circuit – but had no idea about Pedralbes.
wow I'm from South Africa and i didn't know about the East London Circuit. I'm definitely gonna check it out !!
