Imola and Monza among the 24 GPs of 2024, the president Sticchi Damiani: “Now the commitment is to guarantee the presence of F.1 in Italy in the long term”

Rome, 5 July 2023. Italy confirms its central role in the Formula 1 World Championship: again next season there will be two appointments in our country, Imola and Monza. For the Santerno track, which hosted the first Formula 1 world championship race in 1980, it is in fact a return after this year’s forced cancellation due to the tragic flood that hit Romagna. The 4,909-metre track of the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari will host the Made in Italy and Emilia Romagna Grand Prix on Sunday 19 May 2024, the same period it would have taken place this year. The Autodromo Nazionale Monza, the oldest of those hosting the world championship with its centenary history, however, will see the 95th edition of the Italian Grand Prix take place on its 5,973-metre road track on Sunday 1 September. The Automobile Club of Italy also confirms itself as the only body in the world to organize two world championship grand prix on its national territory. Only the United States of America, with three grands prix, have a greater number of world championship races on the calendar
“The confirmation of the presence of Imola and Monza in the 2024 calendar is the concrete demonstration of the goodness of the enormous sacrifices made by the Automobile Club of Italy to organize two grands prix in our country despite the growing demand from many countries to host a an event as prestigious as a Formula 1 GP – is the comment of the president of Aci, Angelo Sticchi Damiani -. We are now working hard to ensure that Italy continues to have a central role in the Formula 1 World Championship for a long time.”
