In the meantime the steep curve combination is falling into disrepair. The overall course, which was a combination of both tracks, was almost exactly ten kilometers long and was used four times in Formula 1 races (the last time was in 1961). In 1954, the two steep bends built in 1922 were rebuilt to be even steeper. Later, however, the tyre stacks were removed again and used again only in the 1970s, after the track had claimed many lives due to the enormous speeds. Already in 1935 the three chicanes Prima Variant/Rettifilo, Variant della Roggia and Variant Ascari known today were set up in the form of tyre stacks in order to slow down the speed of the racing cars. Curves that were once a left-right combination are now taken in reverse order. The route has been frequently changed since 1922: Some chicanes have been rebuilt over the years with larger run-out zones to meet the demands of modern motorsport. The high speed curve, Curva Grande, is located after the Variante del Rettifilo which is located at the end of the front straight or Rettifilo Tribune, and is usually taken flat out by Formula One cars. The major features of the main Grand Prix track include the Curva Grande, the Curva di Lesmo, the Variante Ascari and the Curva Parabolica. With the exception of 1980, the race has been hosted there since the series’s inception.īuilt in the Royal Villa of Monza park in a woodland setting, the site has three tracks – the 5.793-kilometre (3.600 mi) Grand Prix track, the 2.405-kilometre (1.494 mi) Junior track, and a 4.250-kilometre (2.641 mi) high speed oval track with steep bankings which has been unused for many decades and is now decaying. The circuit’s biggest event is the Formula One Italian Grand Prix. Built in 1922, it is the world’s third purpose-built motor racing circuit after those of Brooklands and Indianapolis. The Autodromo Nazionale Monza is a historic race track located near the city of Monza, north of Milan, in Italy.
