Fast, flowing and with a fair amount of gradient to boot, Imola grew from a course laid out on public roads before being transformed into one of Europe's classic courses, providing a proper test of driver and machine. It's origins and location literally in a city centre mean that there is often little room for error.

Restored once again to the Formula One calendar, the circuit hosts a wide range of racing throughout the year, as well as pop concerts, cycling events and promotional activities.  There's also a guided tour which can be booked to take you around the key points of the lap, including the Senna Memorial.
