30 Forgotten Stadiums Where the Crowd Never Came Back
26. The Lost Race Track of Brooklands (United Kingdom)
Once the beating heart of British motorsport, Brooklands was the world’s first purpose-built motor racing circuit when it opened in 1907. It hosted thrilling Grand Prix races, aviation competitions, and even military testing during World War II. However, after the war, racing never returned, and much of the circuit was abandoned or built over. Today, stretches of the track still exist, overtaken by trees and cracked with age—silent relics of a racing era long gone.
