Monza

Steeped in history, the "Autodromo Nazionale di Monza" is one of the most famous and valued circuits in the world. It is generally regarded as the spiritual home of Italian motor racing, from its earlier dangerous days on the banked circuit to its modern chicane-strewn layout. Despite the chicanes that have marred the long straights for the last decade, Monza is still considered to be one of the “homes of speed”. It is only speed that counts at the Autodromo - the layout of long and fast straights not only rewards top speed, but also offers numerous overtaking opportunities, from slipstreaming or late braking.Given the huge popularity of the World Superbike Championship in Italy and the popularity of the Monza racetrack, the round of the Championship taking place there in May is, along with Brands Hatch, one of the most popular of the year. Last year, more than 90,000 enthusiast fans attended the Monza round.
