High quality print on cotton canvas of the world renowned and Imola circuit, comes beautifully framed in a sleek modern black frame.
The Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari, commonly referred to as Imola, is one of Formula 1's most iconic and historic circuits. Nestled in the town of Imola in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, the track is named after Enzo Ferrari, founder of Scuderia Ferrari, and his son Dino. Unlike many F1 circuits, Imola runs counter-clockwise, adding a unique challenge with its layout of high-speed corners, blind apexes, and unforgiving run-off areas.
The track was inaugurated in 1953, but it wasn't until 1979 that it hosted a non-championship Formula 1 race. Just one year later, in 1980, Imola made its championship debut as the venue for the Italian Grand Prix, replacing Monza for that year only. From 1981 to 2006, Imola proudly hosted the San Marino Grand Prix, named after the nearby Republic of San Marino to distinguish it from the Italian Grand Prix at Monza.
Imola has been the scene of some of Formula 1’s most dramatic and emotional moments, particularly during the tragic weekend of the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, which saw the deaths of Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna, and marked a dark turning point in motorsport history. In response, the circuit underwent significant modifications to improve safety, replacing fast corners such as Tamburello and Villeneuve with chicanes.
After a 14-year absence, Imola made a celebrated return to the Formula 1 calendar in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, under the name of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. Its challenging layout, rich history, and passionate Italian fanbase have since cemented its place once again as a fan-favorite venue.
