Circuit

Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari

Imola, Italy

Imola is an old-school circuit that runs anticlockwise, flowing through fast sweeps and sharp chicanes with barriers kept close throughout. It is a proper drivers' track, one that leaves little margin and rewards commitment and precision over outright car performance, with several corners where confidence in the front end makes all the difference. The aggressive kerbs at the chicanes demand a car that can ride them cleanly.

Named after Enzo Ferrari and his son Dino, the circuit carries deep significance in the history of the sport and sits close to the heartland of Italian motor racing. Its narrow, flowing layout makes overtaking hard and qualifying vital, and gives every race here a distinctive, historic character.
