Well, how much pity do we give the poor investors who
believed the con-men and sunk their money in the track for the
Crimean Grand Prix (for Moto GP - or other).
(The small track is visible on Google Maps satellite view.)

Failed MotoGP race track projects, from Circuit of Wales to Kymi Ring
Many MotoGP race track projects in the recent past were never realized. Balatonring, Goiania, Chile, Brasilia, Bulgaria, Wales, Pelambang, Kymi
Ring ... many plans for new MotoGP venues have failed.

Dorna has been acting as a marketer of commercial GP rights since 1992
and, during these 33 years, they've added numerous new GP tracks to the
racing calendar. But some serious flops among race track projects also
exist.

However, in the past ten years, several plans for new MotoGP venues have failed. Managers at Dorna were often too trusting. They were sometimes
duped by shady race track builders and dubious promoters.
Often, even renowned politicians were involved, making some illustrious promises before elections and, then, they were no longer in office a few months later.

The plans for the GP made by the managers of the Crimea Circuit on the
Crimean peninsula, which was annexed by Russia in 2014, didn't go much differently. The Crimea Circuit was eventually completed, the Gresini
Moto2 team advertised it, but the money from the questionable investors wasn|4t enough to set up an infrastructure worthy of a GP.
