Rather like Coventry City and the Ricoh Stadium and doubtless others too.
I fear for some modern racing circuits who have pinned everything on F1 and don't seem to realise that they're at the whim of Bernie. Could they survive if he withdrew their race?

You could write a book on Kettering Town's plight in recent years. It wouldn't be very interesting and no one would buy it....but there's enough to write a book
The Ricoh Arena is what's comparable to the Le Mans stadium. The building of the Ricoh has caused the rift which has ultimately lead to them playing in Northampton.
If France were to host the European Championships, it would be interesting to see which stadiums were used. That could be the only possible use left for the stadium. But would they host a fixture which could potentially clash with the race? Surely not...
