Forgotten F1 Glory – The Abandoned Formula 1 Track Valencia
The player loads from YouTube only when you press play.
Between 2008 and 2012, Valencia hosted five Formula 1 races on a street circuit built right along the harbor, a costly push under then-mayor Rita Barberá to put the city on the map for big international events. We lived in Ruzafa at the time, far enough from the track that we still couldn’t escape the roar of the cars during test and qualifying days. This video explores what’s left of that circuit now, abandoned concrete and grandstands slowly being reclaimed by weeds.
