Nivelles-Baulers

Nivelles-Baulers is something of a footnote in Belgium’s racing history; largely unloved in its heyday and virtually forgotten today, it was among the first of the modern-style of motorsport venues. Host to the Belgian Grand Prix in 1972 and 1972, it ultimately lost out to both Zolder and the circuit it was designed to replace, Spa-Francorchamps, as political winds shifted and financial problems mounted. The track was demolished and redeveloped in the early 2000s to make way for a modern business and industrial park, which incorporated some of the track layout into its connecting roads.
