Emilia Romagna Grand Prix

Emilia Romagna Grand Prix 2022

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. A long name that is dwarfed by the official name of the Grand Prix: The Formula 1 Gran Premio Del Made In Italy E Dell'emilia Romagna 2022.

Before Imola hosted the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in 2020, the event was better known for 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.
