Exploring Abandoned Race Track Nivelles-Baulers by Drone

Exploring Abandoned Race Track Nivelles-Baulers by Drone In this Circuits of the past video we make a drone flight over the last remains of the lost Nivelles Circuit in Belgium. This race track was the home of the Belgian Grand Prix in 1972 and 1974. Both Formula 1 races were won by Emerson Fittipaldi. Herman filmed this in 2020. Already in 1999 they started with the demolition of the old race track that closed in 1981 after financial trouble. After the closure it was often used for illegal racing. But at the end of the 90’s they start with the reconstruction into a business park. Untill 2019 the backstraight, the last 3 corners and the first part of the Start/Finish Straight were left for nature. But then they started to convert this part also into a business park. So this was Herman’s last change to fly his drone over the abandoned circuit remains. The Nivelles-Baulers circuit opened in 1971 as a safer alternative for the dangerous Spa-Francorchamps circuit. In 1972 and 1974, Nivelles hosted the Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix. But after years of financial trouble the circuit lost it's licence after the 1981 season and closed forever. After the closure many people entered the abandoned race track to test their driving skills. During illegal racing in the weekend many people came there, even the ice vendor. But in 1998 they started preparation works for a reconstruction of the abandoned race track into a business park. 1998 Was also the year that I (Herman Liesemeijer) visited Nivelles for the first time. I was just in time to see the abandoned circuit complete. That visit to the abandoned race track inspired me to start a website about lost race circuits in 2003. The name: Circuits of the past. And the rest is history :) More about the lost Nivelles-Baulers Circuit on the website: https://www.circuitsofthepast.com/niv... (English) https://www.circuitsofthepast.nl/circ...
