There is nothing that could bring our emotions higher than good old photos. For racing fans, some old F1 photos of abandoned race tracks or old cars collecting dust and old trophies of teams are just the thing! For this article, we figured that we could bring some of those feelings close to you. You can see the old Monza, popular as the Monza oval, all forgotten and abandoned. This track is built in 1922 and is very important for the motor racing world since it is the world`s third track designed for that purpose!
First two, of course, being in Indianapolis and Brooklands. The original Monza oval was 6.2 miles long with two loops – 1st being 3.4 miles long and the 2nd being 2.79 miles long. The old Monza suffered its first changes in 1928 after a serious accident including a 20+ number of casualties, including F1 racer Emilio Materassi.
Moreover, we give you some photos of the Rouen-Les-Essarts circuit for racing in Orival, France. This track has always been known to be on of the most modern racetracks, including modern pits and wide tracks! It was opened in 1950 and used to have a street circuit which ran on public streets. The circuit had drastic changes in length growing from 3.2 miles in 1950 to 4.065 miles in 1955! The circuit was the host to Formula 2 as well. However, that`s not all we give you. Enjoy these abandoned race tracks, f1 cars and manyphotos!
