Tucked away in the hills of Catalonia, the Autodromo Sitges-Terramar is a relic from the golden age of motorsport. Opened in 1923, it was one of the world’s first high-speed oval tracks, boasting steep, almost vertical banked turns that challenged even the bravest drivers. However, financial troubles and poor organization meant it hosted just one official race before being abandoned. Over the decades, the track became a ghost of its former self, with crumbling grandstands and nature reclaiming the infield. Strangely, the track surface remains intact—so much so that a handful of daredevil racers have tested its steep banks in recent years. While restoration efforts have been proposed, the Autodromo remains eerily silent, its only visitors being occasional motor enthusiasts and the occasional herd of grazing farm animals.
