Enzo and Dino Ferrari International Circuit

The circuit and associated structures were part of a redevelopment and modernisation plan that began in November 2006 and ended in September 2007. It was curated by the renowned German architect Hermann Tilke, who specialised in the construction of motor racing circuits.

In the summer of 2009, the Nuova Variante Bassa was created to meet the homologation requirements of the International Motorcycling Federation. This addition, designed to neutralise the slight right-hander characteristic of the track for cars, is located in front of the pit lane. In August 2011, the track underwent resurfacing work, which affected 70% of the track.

The circuit is named after the founder of the Ferrari car company, Enzo Ferrari (1898-1988) and his son Alfredo “Dino” Ferrari (1932-1956). It was known as the Autodromo di Imola from 1953 to 1956 and the Autodromo Dino Ferrari from 1957 to 1988.

It is one of the few major international circuits to run counter-clockwise. Originally used for motorcycle racing, the first race was held at Imola in 1953. The circuit has an FIA Grade One licence.
