Formula 1 Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix (Imola)

The Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari hosted the San Marino Grand Prix between 1981 and 2006. Due to the coronavirus crisis, Formula 1 organisers were desperately looking for additional tracks to race on, after which the race weekend returned to the programme under the name of the Emilia-Romagna GP. Since then, the circuit has again become a familiar venue for teams.

    Emilia Romagna Grand Prix 2024

    The 4.909-kilometre-long circuit southeast of Bologna has seventeen corners with a fairly long straight. The official name of the track is Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari.

    Before Imola hosted the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in 2020, the event was better known as the San Marino Grand Prix. The microstate is about 95 kilometres away from the circuit and because the rights of the Italian Grand Prix have been for the Monza circuit for many years, Imola cannot host the Italian Grand Prix.

    Before Formula 1 returned to Imola in 2020 some changes were made to the circuit. For example, the pit area has been completely modernised and the Variante Bassa chicane in front of the start and finish has disappeared. The 2023 edition of the race was cancelled due to heavy flooding in the area.

    What does the race weekend at Imola for GP Italy look like?

    The Imola Grand Prix is the first European race of the 2024 Formula 1 season. FP1 will be held on 17th May at 12:30pm UK time. FP2 will take place later in the afternoon. Qualifying is held on the 18th May at 3pm, with the race on Sunday 19th May.

    What time does the Imola Grand Prix start?

    The Imola Grand Prix will be covered in the GPblog.com live blog from an hour before the start. They will turn out the lights at 14:00 for the start of the first GP on Italian soil in 2024.
