// the circuit

The Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari sits in the town of Imola in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. Built in 1953 and named after Enzo Ferrari and his late son Dino, it runs counter-clockwise — unusual for European circuits.

// history

Forever marked by the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix where Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna lost their lives in consecutive days. The Tamburello corner was rebuilt as a chicane after Senna's accident. Returned to F1 in 2020 after a 14-year absence.
