Track of The Month – August 2023
Monza – Italy
This August, the iconic Monza Circuit is The Race Centre’s Track of the Month.
Built in a remarkable span of only 110 days in 1922, the Autodromo Nazionale Monza became the third purpose-built race track. Its original configuration boasted a formidable array of banked curves, as well as much of the ‘outfield’ section that remains an integral part of the circuit to this day.
On September 3rd 1922, Monza opened its doors to the public, just a week before it held that year’s Italian Grand Prix. It was then a part of the original Formula 1 calendar in 1950 and has remained the Italian Grand Prix since, only missing one year in 1980.
In a Formula 1 car, drivers are on full throttle for an astounding 80% of the lap.
Come to The Race Centre this month to see if you are up to the challenge of Monza…
