The History
The Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari
The Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari is one of the most legendary motorsport circuits in the world. Inaugurated in 1953, the track was built within the Acque Minerali park on the outskirts of Imola, creating a unique setting where the roar of racing engines blends with the natural beauty of mature woodland and rolling hills. Originally named Autodromo di Imola, the circuit was later renamed in honour of Enzo Ferrari and his son Alfredo 'Dino' Ferrari, cementing the deep connection between the track and Italy's most iconic racing legacy.
The circuit is approximately 4.9 kilometres long and features a challenging sequence of fast and slow corners that test the limits of both car and driver. The most famous sections include the Tamburello chicane, site of one of motorsport's most poignant moments, the fast Villeneuve curves, the technical Tosa and Piratella corners, and the dramatic Acque Minerali and Rivazza sections that provide some of the best overtaking opportunities on the calendar. The circuit's anti-clockwise layout is relatively unusual in modern motorsport, adding an extra dimension of challenge for drivers more accustomed to clockwise tracks.
Today, the Racetrack hosts an impressive calendar of events that extends far beyond Formula 1. The MotoGP World Championship and Superbike World Championship bring two-wheeled excitement during the summer months, while the circuit also hosts GT racing, touring car championships, historic vehicle events and open track days where members of the public can drive their own cars on this legendary tarmac. In recent years, the Racetrack has also become a major concert venue, hosting international music acts in front of tens of thousands of fans. The versatility and prestige of the Enzo and Dino Ferrari Racetrack make it one of the most important and active motorsport facilities in Europe.

Be Prepared
Planning Your Race Weekend
A successful race weekend at the Imola Racetrack starts with good planning, and accommodation is the most important piece of the puzzle. Demand for apartments and hotel rooms near the circuit surges months before major events, particularly the Formula 1 Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix and MotoGP rounds. We strongly recommend booking your stay at Elf Apartments as early as possible — ideally two to three months before the event — to secure your preferred apartment type and dates. The Superior Two-Bedroom, which accommodates groups of up to six, is typically the first to sell out during race weekends.
On event days, plan your journey to the circuit in advance. From Elf Apartments, the Racetrack is approximately five kilometres and eight minutes by car under normal conditions. During major events, traffic management measures are in place around the circuit, and we can provide information about alternative routes that avoid the busiest areas. Arrive early for the best experience: gates typically open well before the first track session, and the atmosphere in the fan zones and paddock areas builds throughout the morning. Our free parking means you can leave your car securely at the residence and drive to the circuit at your convenience, saving on the expensive temporary parking that springs up near the Racetrack during events.
