Have Your Ashes Scattered at the Catalunya GP circuit de catalunya 560x389

The Circuit de Catalunya, located in Montmelo outside Barcelona, Spain, is allowing the remains of loved ones (presumably former racing enthusiasts) to be scattered across the course. The Circuit de Catalunya hosts both MotoGP and Formula 1 races, and is one of the largest racing stops for both tours.

This coming January, the venue will start accepting the ashes of up to 5000 people. The initial fee of €1500 will get you onto the circuit, but your loved ones will have to pay an additional €50 in a yearly maintenance fee…you know…to sweep you out of the gravel traps and the like.
