‘We don’t want Imola to be a Formula 1 museum’ Date published: April 20 2021 Race organisers at Imola are determined to keep the circuit on the Formula 1 calendar beyond 2021, saying that the famous old circuit is “not a museum” after a thrilling race at the weekend. The Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari was first used in F1 back in 1980, hosting races all the way through until 2006 before it was taken off the calendar. The pandemic meant that Formula 1 pieced together a calendar predominantly in Europe to minimise travel where possible and Imola was reinstated for 2020, carrying on into this season. Organisers used the opportunity to advertise the region to the world through the Made in Italy campaign. Emilia Romagna is the home of the famous Motorsport Valley – which connects Bologna, Modena and Maranello, alongside being in close proximity to several tracks, including both Imola and legendary motorcycle venue Misano.
