Adrenaline junkies and explorers: say hello to the Valencia Street Circuit, once home to the European Grand Prix. The Valencia Street Circuit was always criticised for its boring layout and lack of excitement. Fortunately, it doesn't look to be returning to the F1 calendar any time soon as it's. These pictures below show what happens when the F1 circus moves on and never returns... The former European Grand Prix venue had been put forward as an alternative venue to the Spanish Grand Prix, alongside the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona, but the deal unfortunately broke down, leaving the circuit exposed to the harsh elements. For motorsport fans, it's pretty depressing; the track now, complete with tumbleweed. With no maintenance or security,of anything valuable. Weeds have taken over slip roads, access tunnels have been flooded and bridges have been completely gutted. It's a far cry from the, though the water front areas seem to be faring much better than the concrete-covered track. Image credit: 20minutos
