Honestly this thread tears me to shreds, such beautiful magnificent objects created by man turned to ruin...

This pretty much sums me up (no joke intended):

That one makes me really sad. It was my favourite part of the circuit.

Surprised how bad Valencia looks

You shouldn't be. It was disused port land before the race and is disused port land once again.

With the recent financial situation in Spain, nobody was going to spend money securing the site and so anything of value that wasn't nailed down quickly grew legs.
