Description
Few circuits inspire the same adoration for motorsport as Imola. The circuit lies in the heart of Ferrari country and is a stone's throw from both Modena and Maranello. It is the home of the tifosi and a place of pilgrimage for any fan of Italian motorsport. The track has seen some memorable races over the years and although it is in Italy, the circuit plays host to the San Marino Grand Prix.
The Imola Council decided to rename the circuit in honour of Enzo Ferrari's son Dino who had died in 1956. The renaming led to a loyalty from Enzo and the Circuit Dino Ferrari soon raised enough money to turn the track into a permanent closed circuit. When the great man died, the circuit was renamed, Circuit Enzo e Dino Ferrari.
