Imola makes its debut in iRacing on June 8, 2016, with the arrival of the 2016 Season 3 build. Officially named the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari, the circuit is steeped in history and carries the weight of both triumph and tragedy in motorsport.
For iRacers, Imola represents a technical and thrilling venue. At 4.909 km (3.05 miles), the track winds through the Italian countryside near Bologna, defined by its anti-clockwise direction, rapid elevation changes, and unforgiving chicanes.
What makes Imola unique in iRacing
- Anti-clockwise flow: Similar to Interlagos, physical strain and setup balance become a factor.
- Iconic corners: Tamburello, Acque Minerali, and Rivazza are legendary for their technical and historical significance.
- Chicanes: Imola’s rhythm revolves around navigating fast, aggressive chicanes with precision.
- Elevation drama: Uphill and downhill braking zones make consistency difficult.
- Heritage: Once the home of the San Marino Grand Prix, the track has deep ties to Formula One history.
Imola’s arrival enriches iRacing’s European circuit lineup, instantly becoming a favorite for open-wheel, GT, and endurance racing.
