Start area of ​​the racetrack

The Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari is a racetrack in Imola , Italy that hosted the San Marino Grand Prix until 2006 . Due to the fact that a country is not allowed to host two Formula 1 Grand Prix, the race in Imola was given to the miniature state of San Marino . Since the racetrack is only 80 km from Maranello , the headquarters of Ferrari , the race in Imola was also traded as the home game for the Scuderia . It was one of the few Formula 1 tracks that was driven counterclockwise. Imola will be back on the Formula 1 racing calendar in 2020. The race will be known as the Grand Prix of Emilia-Romagna and will take place in October.

history

The race track was opened in 1953 and goes back to an idea by Enzo Ferrari , who wanted to build a small Nürburgring here. At the opening, there were no chicanes in the layout, so the Tamburello curve was the first of a lap and the Tosa was already the second. In 1968 the track was renamed Autodromo Dino Ferrari after Enzo Ferrari's son Alfredo (Dino), who died early . After Enzo Ferrari's death in 1988, the name was expanded.

At the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix , first Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna had a fatal accident in Saturday practice and one day later during the race . These and other accidents and the re-activated Grand Prix Drivers' Association resulted in numerous changes. Since then, more emphasis has been placed on the safety of many racetracks and that of the cars, and the safety of the drivers has been increased. In Imola, chicanes were then installed in the Tamburello curve and in front of the Tosa curve (named after Gilles Villeneuve), which significantly reduced speeds. Other places such as the Alta variant have also been defused.

For the 2007 season , the San Marino Grand Prix was removed from the Formula 1 calendar because the facility was no longer considered to be up to date.

From the end of 2006 the course was closed for extensive renovation work. A completely new pit building including media center was erected within ten months, the run-off zone in the “Tamburello chicane” was expanded and some sections were re-asphalted. In the course of the new pit building, the route had to be changed again. After the “Rivazza” there are now several fast corners instead of the old “Variant-Bassa”, so that a long full-throttle section up to the “Tamburello chicane” is created. After the FIA ​​approval, the course received a 1T license, which allows all events except Formula 1. At the beginning of 2008, a new management was found, the course has meanwhile been renamed “Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari di Imola”. The first major event after the renovation was the FIA WTCC weekend in September 2008. After 14 years, Formula 1 will return to Imola at the end of October 2020 and host the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix there .
