Monza Italy circuit description
Built in 1922 in only 100 days by the Automobile
Club of Milan, Monza is Europe´s oldest
permanent circuit still in use.
Set in a former Royal park on the outskirts
of Milan, Italy´s second major city,
the contemporary circuit is still one of
the fastest in Europe being a series of
long, straight flat-out blasts and long
high-speed corners, interrupted only by
the inevitable chicanes.
Altough it survives more or less in its
origial layout, the track was used as a
military vehicle park during WW2 nd suffered
extensive damage through bombing, and the
bankings in particular required reconstruction
before being used again in 1948. All manner
of combinations of circuit were used in
the 1930´s and curiously this included
te use of chicanes already. Well worth a
visit just to experience the enthusiasm
of the famous "tifosi".
Region
When you combine the track’s merits
with the cultural delights and shopping
of nearby Milan, you are left with one of
the most alluring races of the season. From
Milan, the world famous Lake Como is just
a short drive away, as well as the circuit.
The Mediterranean coast is only a couple
of hours away.
