{PDF EPUB} Grand Prix Circuits History and Course Map for Every Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Grand Prix Circuits History and Course Map for Every Formula One Circuit by Maurice Hamilton Monza Circuit or Autodromo Nazionale Monza - History of Racing to Admire. In the world of racing circuits, Monza Circuit has a special place. Not only because Autodromo Nazionale Monza is one of oldest racing tracks (established in 1922), Monza has been the hub of racing in Italy and one of biggest venues in the area. The Monza circuit is one of five still existing racing tracks which hosted Formula One races in its maiden world championship season in 1950. Since then, with only one exception in 1980, F1 Grand Prix races have been hosted in Monza every year. Map: Monza Circuit map/track layout. Autodromo Nazionale Monza is the third oldest circuit in the world. Autodromo di Monza is the third oldest in the world, after Brooklands circuit in England and Indianapolis in the United States. Construction of the racing circuit near Milano was decided in January 1922 to mark the 25th anniversary of the Milan Automobile Club. The Italian car manufacturers also supported the building of a permanent track for racing and testing. Starting grid at Monza in 1925. The original circuit had two courses. The construction of the autodrome was completed in record time of 110 days and the track was officially opened on September 3rd, 1922. The circuit had a combination of a 5.5-km road track and 4.5-km high-speed oval, which featured two banked curves that made the top speed of 190 km/h possible. Two different parts of the circuit were linked by two straights, each 1,070 metres long. The new circuit had separate areas for spectators. The central grandstand had a capacity of 3,000 seats and there were six side stands with 1,000 seats each. The oval track was a part of the historic Autodromo Nazionale Monza. Too many fatal accidents. In 1928, the track’s worst ever racing accident happened , resulting in the death of the driver Emilio Materassi and 27 spectators. After that, it was decided that Grand Prix races will only be held on the high-speed loop, but in 1932 that decision was reversed again. In 1933, the Grand Prix race was marked by the deaths of three drivers at the southern banked curve (Giuseppe Campari, Mario Umberto Borzacchini and Stanislas Czaykowski). This accident led to the adoption of some alternative layouts and artificial chicanes. Tazio Nuvolari in Auto Union Type D was the last pre-war winner of the Italian Grand Prix. The World War II stopped the racing activities. In 1938, the circuit was extensively modified. The road course was resurfaced, banked curves were redesigned, the new grandstand, pits and service buildings were constructed. The new track was 6,300 metres long. Unfortunately, the war interrupted all sports activities until 1948. At the beginning of 1948, the Milan Automobile Club started the complete restoration of the circuit, and all the facilities from 1938 were finally put in function. Giuseppe Farina won the 1950 Italian Grand Prix. Nino Farina won the first F1 Grand Prix championship race. Formula One cars returned to the reborn Monza in 1948, and two years later, the circuit was the venue for the Formula One championship race. The winner of the 1950 Italian Grand Prix was Giuseppe Nino Farina, who became the first Formula One world champion . The next four years were all about Alberto Ascari and Juan Manuel Fangio, who were both victorious twice at Monza. Major circuit reconstruction in 1954. In 1954, a major reconstruction began. The entire circuit was changed and that resulted with a 5.75 km road course and a new 4.25 km high- speed oval. The two big banked curves with a radius of 320 meters and 80% superelevation were calculated for top speeds of approximately 285 km/h . Same as before, the two circuits could be combined to create a 10 km long circuit. Parallel with the circuits, the track infrastructure was also updated and improved. Ferrari driver Wolfgang von Trips was one of the fatal victims at Monza. Formula One left the high-speed oval after von Trips’ death. The circuit was used for the Italian Grand Prix races until 1961, with the 10 km layout used in 1955, 1956, 1960 and 1961. The winners of races were Stirling Moss (three times), Phil Hill (two times), Juan Manuel Fangio and Tony Brooks. The tragic 1961 Italian Grand Prix, with the death of the Ferrari driver Wolfgang Von Trips and 15 spectators on the straight before one of the banked curves, marked the end for the high-speed track usage in the Formula One Grand Prix and other single-seater races. The 1000 km of Monza in 1969 was the last race at the high-speed oval. The last race on the oval was held in 1969. The full track was further used for the 1000 km Monza race of sports cars, prototypes and GT cars. The last race on the longest Monza layout was held in 1969 . After that, all races were removed to the 5.75 km road course. Although the high-speed bankings were retired, they are still standing there as a reminder to the glorious history of racing at Monza. Even without the high-speed banking, the Monza circuit was still a very fast track. Because of the increasing performances of the cars and higher speeds, it became necessary to reconstruct the circuit, primarily to make racing safer. The map of combined circuit with road course and high-speed oval. Further reconstructions and new chicanes during the 1970s. Two chicanes were built in 1972 at the entrance to the fastest curves on the track – the Grande curve at the end of the grandstand straight and the Ascari curve. The chicanes were named Variante del Retifilo and Variante Ascari. They soon became ineffective and they were reconstructed in 1976, with one more chicane added before the Lesmo corner. The new layout of the track was 5800 meters long. With technology improving and speeds still increasing, the track was modified again in 1979, with added kerbs, extended run-off areas, and tyre barriers improved. The infrastructure was also modernized. Further safety improvements followed during the 1980s. In 1980, the Italian Grand Prix was held in Imola, the only time outside Monza . In 1981, Formula One was back in Monza, together with other series and events such was the 1000 km of Monza and Formula 3000. The current track layout since 2000. In 1989, a major renovation of pits complex began, with lots of new technologies used. A few years later, the next task was to increase safety standards, especially after Ayrton Senna’s death at Imola in 1994. All safety interventions shortened the track to 5770 meters. The final change of the configuration and track layout happened in 2000, when the redesign of some curves resulted with the current track length of 5793 meters . Montoya made the fastest ever F1 lap at Monza. The record holder in the current configuration of the track, with the official best lap time 1n 21.046s, is Rubens Barrichello. He set the record lap time driving the Ferrari F2004 in the 2004 Italian Grand Prix. During the qualifying, Barrichello made a lap 1m 20.089s, but Juan Pablo Montoya was even faster in the first qualifying session, and he lapped Monza with an average speed of 262.242 km/h, the fastest ever qualifying lap in the history of Formula One . The racing circuit in Monza was built in 1922, and the current, changed layout was set in 2000. Special place for every driver. Monza’s unique feature is that this is a very fast circuit with high average speed, lots of straights and fast corners. It was conceived as a place where the cars and the drivers could reach their full potential and achieve maximum speed without much braking. That’s why racing in Monza is a special event for the driver himself and the audience, with the names of Parabolica, Variante Ascari or the Curva Grande widely known in the motorsport community. 52 drivers and 35 spectators killed at Monza. However, the high speed has one big downside – Monza is one of most dangerous tracks in the world . From 1922 until 2000, Monza took the lives of 52 drivers, 35 spectators, and one track marshal. The early years were especially deadly and there were moments when a few drivers lost their lives in one race. The most notable drivers who lost their lives at Monza were Alberto Ascari (1955), Wolfgang von Trips (1961), Jochen Rindt (1970) and Ronnie Peterson (1978). Michael Schumacher won five times at Monza, last time in 2006. An impressive list of winners. The list of drivers who scored victories at Monza is impressive and it gives us an overview of the history of motorsport. 51 drivers won the Italian Grand Prix between 1922 and 2015, with almost all world champions on the list, from first world champion Nino Farina to the current champion Lewis Hamilton<. The record holder with five victories at Monza is Michael Schumacher, who won in 1996, 1998, 2000, 2003 and 2006. All five wins that he achieved were with Ferrari. The Italian manufacturer is the most successful brand with 19 Grand Prix victories at Monza. McLaren holds the second place with 10 wins, ahead of Alfa Romeo with eight victories. Michael Schumacher and Nelson Piquet. On the drivers list, Nelson Piquet is next below Schumacher. The Brazilian driver won four times. Nine drivers achieved three victories on the famous circuit, two of them are still active and they have a chance to join Piquet or Schumacher on the top.

  • Grand Prix Facts & Numbers
    There is no way to know when and who exactly invented the internal combustion power concept, but in 1860 Jean Joseph Étienne Lenoir patented a gas-fired apparatus with piston, cylinder, connecting rods, and flywheel that became commercially viable. Nikolaus Otto improved the concept into a more efficient four-stroke internal combustion unit in 1876. Then in 1885, Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach developed the design further and patented a practical petrol engine. Few months later Daimler constructed the first real automobile, and in 1912 Peugeot introduced the modern twin-cam engine concept. The first racing driver in history was arguably Frenchman Georges Bouton, who raced a De Dion-Bouton alone against the clock from Pont de Neuilly to Bois de Boulogne in Paris as early as 28 April 1887, but the first recorded auto race was held on 22 July 1894 on the route from Paris to Rouen. Within months, more races were held in France, Italy and the USA, and the era of city-to-city auto racing took off. By the turn of the century there were about 25 annual automobile races held in Europe and North America. However, until 1901 there was no proper definition of what constituted ‘an automobile’. The winners of the 1894 Paris-Rouen (Comte Jules de Dijon) and the 1895 Paris- Bordeaux-Paris (Émile Levassor) races were denied prize money because the organizers have decided that their vehicles were not viable as passenger road cars. The steam powered De Dijon-Bouton was classified as a tractor. First petrol engine car across the finish line was a Peugeot of Georges Lemaître, who arrived several minutes after de Dijon.
