San Marino Grand Prix
This article is about the Formula One San Marino Grand Prix; for the motorcycle race of the same name, see San Marino Grand Prix (motorcycle).
The San Marino Grand Prix was a Formula One racing event held in Imola, Italy. The event was called the San Marino Grand Prix because another race had already been held as the Italian Grand Prix in each of the seasons.
The first San Marino Grand Prix was held at the Autodromo Dino Ferrari in the 1981 season. After the death of Enzo Ferrari in 1988, the name of the circuit was expanded to Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari. The first race at this circuit in the 1980 season was run as the Italian Grand Prix.
As the San Marino Grand Prix was held at Imola in Italy, not far from Maranello, Ferrari's headquarters, the event was also commonly referred to as Ferrari's "home race".
The track layout required frequent speed changes, so that the brakes of the racing cars were particularly challenged on this track.
Roland Ratzenberger as well as Ayrton Senna died here within two days during the race weekend in 1994.
The last race in Imola for the time being took place in 2006. In 2007, the San Marino Grand Prix was dropped from the race calendar as the facility was deemed out of date. However, the circuit made a comeback at the end of October 2020 in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the GP not being called the San Marino Grand Prix, but the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix. However, the Grand Prix was shortened due to the acute pandemic situation and took place with an event duration of only 2 days.
