Are you a nostalgic set motorsport fan and circuit lover? Then this is the channel for you! Here you find videos of the motor racing circuits of the past, and sometimes of the present too. I upload new videos on Friday.
My name is Herman Liesemeijer, I live in the Netherlands in a town called Heerenveen. My fascination for lost race tracks started after a visit to the abandoned circuit of Nivelles-Baulers in Belgium in 1998. In 2003 I founded the MSM Group "Circuits of the past", which became a real website in 2008. This website is dedicated to the lost racing circuits. Through the years I visited many old race tracks.
Since 2014 I'm focusing on making videos. In 2018 I bought a drone to make spectacular aerial footage and I started with live vlogs.
I hope you enjoy my videos and subscribe to my channel.
