On April 25, 1953, what is now known throughout the world as the Enzo and Dino Ferrari International Circuit of Imola was officially inaugurated. This year we celebrate 70 years and to celebrate this important anniversary Formula Imola has organized a series of events open to the public on the very day of the anniversary.
The day begins at 10.00 with the different rounds of parade on the track, both cars and motorbikes behind the Safety Car, in which all enthusiasts can participate with their own vehicle by filling in a form on the Autodrome website (www.autodromoimola.it).
It continues inside the Sala Polivalente/Media Center where the agreement will be presented which provides for the supply by the BMW Turbosport dealership of three electric cars of the Bavarian House, which will be used by Formula Imola both as safety car and leading car during the races and for promotional activities and safe driving on the days reserved for electric cars.
After the activity on the track in the morning, the afternoon will be dedicated to those who want to walk along the track. The opening to the public is in fact foreseen from 14.00 to 18.00.
The activity in the Sala Polivalente/Media Center will continue at 3.30 pm with the institutional greetings from the Municipal Administration, Con.Ami and Formula Imola, which will be followed by the screening of a celebratory video of the 70th anniversary of the Autodrome, scripted and filmed by the boys of F1Dimenticata, who recounted the main events that have characterized this long history of engines and passion.
At 17.00 we will move to the track where the Bishop of Imola, Mons. Giovanni Mosciatti, will bless the track.
At the end of the day, the official presentation of the book “Imola 70 the novel of the racetrack” in the Media Center at 18.00.
