We visited the Autodromo as part of a short holiday in the area . With the steadily decaying remnants of the high speed banked circuit providing a backdrop through the parkland trees, the atmosphere here is like no other; a mix of speed, melodrama and more than a hint of melancholy.Its history began shortly after the First World War, when the Italian motor industry was undergoing its first great ascendancy.
As with its original construction, the circuit was readied in a very short time frame; in less than two months the facilities were restored and the improvements of 1938 could finally be used for their original intended purpose. Il Tempio della Velocità The new high-speed loop was built on reinforced concrete pillars, rather than earth banks and cut through the Vedano course, necessitating a new final parabolic curve. On the south curve of the speed circuit, Giuseppe Campari's P3 Alfa Romeo and Baconin Borzacchini's 8CM Maserati slid off on oil laid down the previous lap by a competitor; both were killed instantly. Work began on 3rd May 1922 and was completed in 100 days.The new ‘Autodromo Nazionale’ was officially inaugurated on 28th July of the same year by the racing drivers Nazzaro and Bordino in a Fiat 510: a 5.5-kilometre road track and a 4.5-kilometre high-speed ring with two raised curves that could be taken at speeds of up to 180 kph (112 mph). The pits area is among the most modern and most functional in the world. It was rebuilt in 1948 and, in 1955, a new high-speed ring with two raised curves was planned.
I am looking to visit Monza next February during my first trip to Europe, and I'd love to see the track while I'm there. Materassi was killed instantly, along with 28 spectators.Changes were inevitable. This was deemed suitable and preparations were began in earnest soon after.A company was formed to develop the project, the SIAS (Società Incremento Autodromo e Sport), under the presidency of Silvio Crespi.
Soc. Changes were also made to the two Lesmo curves and a new section of test track, bypassing the Curva Grande, was installed at the behest of Pirelli.Spectator facilities were also greatly improved, with a new grandstand seating 2,000; a restaurant on the ground floor; timing and scoring tower; and 30 purpose-built pit stalls among the improvements. 550.000,00
Malpensa handles the most international flights, but Linate is closest to the city centre and is the most convenient for the track. Plus. Monza was also the venue for one of the four races that were something of a prototype for the World Championship between Italy, France, Belgium and the United States, which first took place in 1925.The Italian Formula 1 Grand Prix now takes place on the 5,770-metre road track on the second Sunday of September. It is also a regularly used testing venue, while the parkland remains open to the public – you can even find an outdoor municipal swimming pool in the grounds alongside the main straight...The Autdromo Nazionale Di Monza is located in the Royal Park in the city of Monza, approximately 9 miles north-northeast of Milan. Della Roggia's chicane was also brought further forward in the lap by some 50 metres, while the two Lesmo Curves were realigned, some 15 metres further inside the circuit perimeter, similarly providing enhanced escape areas. Drivers are on full throttle for most of the lap due to its long straights and fast corners, and is usually the scenario in which the open-wheeled Formula One cars show the raw In addition to Formula One, the circuit previously hosted the Monza also hosts cycling and running events, most notably the Monza 12h Cycling MarathonThe first track was built from May to July 1922 by 3,500 workers, financed by the Milan Automobile ClubIn 1928, the most serious Italian racing accident to dateThere was major rebuilding in 1938–39, constructing new stands and entrances, resurfacing the track, removing the high speed ring and adding two new bends on the southern part of the circuit.In 1954, work began to entirely revamp the circuit, resulting in a 5.750 kilometres (3.573 mi) course, and a new 4.250 kilometres (2.641 mi) high-speed oval with banked Formula One used the 10 kilometres (6.214 mi) high speed track in the Although the accident did not occur on the oval section of the track, the high speeds were deemed unsafe and F1 use of the oval was ended;The banking held the last race in 1969 with the 1000 km of Monza, the event moving to the road circuit the next year.With technology still increasing vehicle speeds the track was modified again in 1979, with added kerbs, extended run-off areas, and tyre-barriers improved, to improve safety for drivers off the track.In 2007, the run-off area at the second chicane was changed from gravel to asphalt. Sadly, the outbreak of World War Two meant these new improvements were never tried in anger.
