Autódromo de Sitges-Terramar

The Autòdrom de Sitges-Terramar is a former racing circuit located in the small village of Rocamar, in Sant Pere de Ribes near Sitges in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It was built in 1923 within 300 days, and was one of the first racetracks in the world. At the time, Europe had only two racetracks, Brooklands and Monza, and the United States only had Indianapolis and Milwaukee. Although minor races were sporadically held on the circuit through the 1950s, it was largely abandoned after the inaugural season of 1923. Now, it has seen use only as the backdrop to a selection of car advertisements, a filming location for an episode of the Amazon Prime series The Grand Tour, and as a chicken farm.
