The Secrets of Abandoned F1 Circuits

A new video from the DRIVE YouTube channel takes viewers on a journey to explore some of the most fascinating abandoned Formula 1 circuits around the world.

From the decaying Valencia Street Circuit, once a £270 million ghost of a project, to the crumbling remains of the Reims-Gueux track in France, the footage uncovers these silent monuments to motorsport history.

The documentary also examines the imposing Korea International Circuit, built for £300 million and left to ruin after hosting just four races, and the partially forgotten sections of the old Spa-Francorchamps circuit.

With its mix of street circuits and purpose-built venues, the video serves as a powerful reminder of F1's transient and ever-evolving nature.
