The racetrack also previously held rounds of the Grand Prix motorcycle racing ( Italian motorcycle Grand Prix), WTCC, TCR International Series, Superbike World Championship, Formula Renault 3.5 Series and Auto GP. Monza also featured the unique Race of Two Worlds events, which attempted to run Formula One and USAC National Championship cars against each other. In addition to Formula One, the circuit previously hosted the 1000 km Monza, an endurance sports car race held as part of the World Sportscar Championship and the Le Mans Series. The high speed curve, Curva Grande, is located after the Variante del Rettifilo which is located at the end of the front straight or Rettifilo Tribune, and is usually taken flat out by Formula One cars. The major features of the main Grand Prix track include the Curva Grande, the Curva di Lesmo, the Variante Ascari and the Curva Alboreto (formerly Curva Parabolica ). īuilt in the Royal Villa of Monza park in a woodland setting, the site has three tracks – the 5.793 km (3.600 mi) Grand Prix track, the 2.405 km (1.494 mi) Junior track, and a 4.250 km (2.641 mi) high speed oval track with steep bankings which was left unused for decades and had been decaying until it was restored in the 2010s. With the exception of the 1980 running, the race has been hosted there since 1949. The circuit's biggest event is the Italian Grand Prix. Built in 1922, it was the world's third purpose-built motor racing circuit after Brooklands and Indianapolis and the oldest in mainland Europe. The Monza Circuit ( Italian: Autodromo Nazionale di Monza, lit.'National Motor Racetrack of Monza') is a historic 5.793 km (3.600 mi) race track near the city of Monza, north of Milan, in Italy. You enter the corner fairly tight, but then allow the momentum to push the car about a car’s width into the corner, before bringing the car back for a very late apex and attacking the exit.For other uses, see Monza (disambiguation).Īutodromo Nazionale di Monza "The Temple of Speed"Ĥ5☃7′14″N 9☁7′22″E / 45.62056°N 9.28944☎ / 45.62056 9.28944 Coordinates: 45☃7′14″N 9☁7′22″E / 45.62056°N 9.28944☎ / 45.62056 9.28944 This is the last corner on the circuit and also a very important one as it leads onto the fast pit straight. We advise to brake late into this corner and slowly ease the car into the left turn by the arrow board which runs along side the curb in the braking zone, and trail brake as normal all the way into the corner easing off just before the apex, then squeeze the power in smoothly and using all the width on exit of the corner. It’s a very short run before you are into the final corner. This particular corner can have a few different lines into it, it also can come down to the driver’s preference. Even though this is a fairly tight corner, it’s important to get a good exit onto the back straight and not ease off the power on the exit. Make sure you place the car over the flat curb on the left in the braking zone to help with the positioning for turning right and picking up a middle to late apex. On the approach to Maggotts you have an arrow board on the right hand side of the circuit that you can use as a gentle turn in point to set you up nicely into a straight line for braking into the right hand turn.

You need a nice slow turn in so you don’t rush to the inside, feed the power in smoothly and use the full width of the track on the exit of the corner. There are two reference points that can help you through this corner: on the approach, there is an arrow board on the left side of the track which you can use as a braking point, then there’s a 50m board which you can use as a turning point. On the approach to the first of the Silversone national layout, make sure you are as far to the left as possible to help with the line through as it’s a blind exit when you turn in. It’s home to the BTCC and Walter Hayes Trophy. It is probably the most recognised and spectacular track day and race Circuit in the UKĪt 1.6 miles, the National Circuit is the shortest Silverstone race configuration, but that doesn’t mean it lacks racing heritage. Silverstone National Circuit is a motor racing circuit in England next to Northamptonshire villages of Silverstone and Whittlebury.
