🇮🇹Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari (Imola)

Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari (commonly Imola) is a 4.909 km, 19-turn motor racing circuit in Imola, Emilia-Romagna — around 40 km east of Bologna — and one of the most history-laden venues in motorsport. Originally inaugurated in 1953 as the Autodromo di Imola with motorcycle racing in the 125cc and 500cc Italian championships, the circuit ran anticlockwise on a chicane-free layout until 1972 — the run from Acque Minerali through Rivazza, Tosa, the pits and the original flat-out Tamburello bend were essentially long straights with subtle bends. The circuit was renamed Autodromo Dino Ferrari in 1957 in memory of Enzo Ferrari's son Dino, and gained its current name including Enzo himself after his death in 1988. The 1994 San Marino Grand Prix turned Imola into a tragedy permanently engraved in F1 history: Rubens Barrichello survived a serious accident at Variante Bassa on the Friday, then Roland Ratzenberger was killed in qualifying on the Saturday at the Villeneuve Kink, and Ayrton Senna died at Tamburello on the Sunday. The original flat-out Tamburello was rebuilt into a left-right-left chicane immediately afterward, along with safety modifications to Villeneuve and Variante Bassa. Imola hosted the San Marino Grand Prix continuously from 1981 to 2006 and returned to F1 as the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix from 2020. Famous corners include the Tamburello chicane, Villeneuve, Tosa, Piratella, Acque Minerali, Variante Alta, the legendary downhill Rivazza and the final Variante Bassa. Imola remains a regular round of the World Superbike Championship.
