pistonbroke Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 In the days before H&S the fabulous MontJuich street circuit in Barcelona used to host the Spanish Grand Prix , along with motor bike and other lesser formula races. http://www.thosewerethedays.org.uk/motor-racing-stories/barcelona-1968.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 There's a cable car up Montjuic now. Cracking views over the city from up there - I spent half a day walking it when I got bored at a conference a few years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 As you say there are some pretty impressive views of the city from up there . The tour bus goes along part of the old track past the olympic stadium on the main " straight " also the highest point of the circuit , over the brow the cars would "take off " before diving into the lh hairpin to start the decent back down the hill Strange but there was no mention of it in the tour guide or anywhere around the track that i could see , perhaps they want just to forget the tragic end to the racing . Looking down on the "Majic Fountain " Uphill on theold track towards the olympic stadium where the pits were situated Looking back towards the stadium , here the cars took off , this is were the car of Rolf Stommelen tragically crashed and went into the crowd downhill into a lh hairpin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
