THE MUGELLO CIRCUIT, YESTERDAY AND NOWADAYS"
Originally the Mugello racetrack was of a different style: it was a road circuit.
In 1914, the first motor race was held on this famous road circuit. Conceived at the beginning as a regularity race, the Mugello road race was interrupted at the outbreak of the World War I. The challenging and selective competition knew its golden years in the postwar period, when best drivers challenged one another on the 66 km. Dusty track, which went from Scarperia uphill to Firenzuola, and then through the Futa Pass downhill San Piero and Scarperia. The legendary names linked to this historical race still echo today: Campari, Brilli Peri, Enzo Ferrari (who won in 1921 on an Alfa Romeo class 4.500), Ascari, Borzacchini and Emilio Materassi, the local idol.
The prestige of the "Mille Miglia" dimmed the Mugello road race after its 1929 event and even the competitions held after 1955 on the reduced 19 km. Track were not favorable. In the 60's due to the disappearance of the "Mille Miglia" and the increasing popularity of road races, sport-friendly managers, such as Pasquale Borracci and Amos Pampaloni, were convinced to propose again the Mugello competition on the classical track of 66 km. The new events were quite successful even though they suffer from the absence of the most prestigious Italian brand, the “Cavallino”, which officially took part only in the competition of 1967. It was destiny the histories of the Mugello racetrack and Ferrari would meet again, but it was necessary to wait over twenty years.
Designed in the 70's and later greatly remodeled by Ferrari, "the Mugello" is one of the most scenic, modern and safe racing facilities in the world. Fully operational year round, the Mugello circuit is the regular test centre of Ferrari F1, the most important manufacturer of MotoGP and World Superbike, other prestigious manufacturer cars italian and international.
To date the Mugello racetrack has hosted the Formula 5.000 Championship (which baptized the renovated circuit on June 23rd, 1974), the Formula 3.000, the Formula 2, the Fia-Gt and has been the only circuit in Italy to host the ITC.
The track runs over 5.000 m through the forests and green areas. The elevated areas along the track permits the spectators to take part fully in the race: to experience strong emotions and protagonists.
