Imola prepares for the Formula 1 Grand Prix
Ferrari, AlphaTauri and Alfa Romeo. Imola chooses the ‘Made in Italy’ to present its upcoming Grand Prix, scheduled for the weekend of 19-21 May, through the official poster of the race created by the Automobile Club d’Italia (usually known by its acronym ACI).
The Imola poster
The race that will be held at the Imola circuit bears Made in Italy and the Emilia-Romagna Region in its name, as part of an agreement that will see the Grand Prix at Imola take place until 2025 and which involves, in addition to the Region and the Government, also the Municipality of Imola, Con.Ami, Automobil Club d’Italia and the organizers of the Formula 1 World Championship.
Stefano Bonaccini’s words
“We are proud – says the president of the Region Stefano Bonaccini – to host the first of the two Italian rounds of the Formula 1 World Championship in Emilia-Romagna. Passion, commitment, innovation and technical excellence: the poster well represents the values of our Motor Valley, focusing on Made in Italy, a unique motorsport district in the world, where some of the greatest motorsport brands, known everywhere, were created and operate. And the Grand Prix will once again be a great sporting event this year, but also a unique opportunity to promote the excellence of Emilia-Romagna and the country, together with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Enterprise and Made in Italy and at Ice. A team effort that also sees the territory as a key element“.
No ELMS
For a Formula 1 event that is getting ever closer, there is a European Le Mans Series that is leaving, at least for this year. The 4 Hours of Imola has in fact been canceled for this season, but the race will return in 2024. This was announced by the director of the Autodromo, Pietro Benvenuti:

“We have tried in every way, under the idea of full collaboration between the parties, to find a replacement date for the ELMS race. Unfortunately the busy international calendar would not have allowed us to have all the teams present and therefore the agreed solution was to postpone the race to next season, effectively extending the contract which expired this year. The fact that we are already thinking about the new date shows how much we both want this collaboration to continue over time, not just in 2024, to give Imola continuity to one of the most important four-wheeled races at an international level”. After speaking to the teams and partners, Le Mans Endurance Management (LMEM) has confirmed there will be two races in Portugal with the 4 Hours of Portimão followed by the 4 Hours of the Algarve over a long racing weekend from 19-22 October.
