The Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari is in Imola, in Italy's Emilia-Romagna region, about 40 kilometres east of Bologna. The circuit runs anti-clockwise, measures 4.909 kilometres in its current form and has 19 corners. It opened in 1953 as a semi-permanent venue, initially for motorcycle racing, and the first car race followed in June 1954. It is named after Enzo Ferrari and his son Dino. From 1953 to 1956 it was known as the Autodromo di Imola, and from 1957 to 1988 as the Autodromo Dino Ferrari.
Until 1972 the track had no chicanes, and much of the lap was made up of straights linked by minor bends. Jim Clark won a non-championship Formula One race there for Lotus in 1963, and Niki Lauda took another for Brabham-Alfa Romeo in 1979. Imola made its World Championship debut in 1980 by hosting the Italian Grand Prix, won by Nelson Piquet. It was the first time since 1948 that Monza had not staged that race. From 1981 to 2006, Imola hosted the San Marino Grand Prix.
The Tamburello corner in particular was a long-running safety concern because of its high speed and the wall beside the track. At the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, Roland Ratzenberger died in qualifying and Ayrton Senna in the race. Tamburello and other corners were then modified to reduce speeds. Before the 2006 race, the kerbs at the Variante Alta were lowered considerably.
Formula One left Imola after 2006, and the facility was extensively rebuilt under the supervision of Hermann Tilke. The sport returned in 2020 with the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, held in 2021, 2022, 2024 and 2025 as well. The 2023 race was cancelled because of flooding. Michael Schumacher won seven times at Imola, more than any other driver.
