Opatija GP from Le Cheval de Fer (1974 Yugoslavia GP)

Opatija Circuit is the name given to a motor racing circuit laid out on the city streets of Opatija, Croatia on the Adriatic coast. Locally known as Preluk, the 6.0 km track was named Abazzia in the 1930s, when the territory temporarily belonged to Italy, and also as Carnaro. The venue was described as the Monaco of the Grand Prix motorcycle racing circuit for its spectacular views. It hosted Yugoslavian Motorcycle Grand Prix from 1969 to 1977. Worries over safety at the track forced its closure, and racing switched to the newly-constructed Rijeka circuit.
