The Emilia Romagna Grand Prix will be repeated in 2021. After the one-off return of Imola in 2020, the historic circuit will also get a place on the calendar in 2021. The organisation even hopes to organise a race with fans.
In 2020, Imola returned to the Formula One calendar when F1 and the FIA were looking for circuits in Europe to reduce costs and travel. In 2021, Formula One wanted to return to a ‘normal season’, but it won’t be so normal after all, with the Grands Prix of China and Australia postponed.
Imola with fans
Imola is now the second race on the calendar and in Emilia Romagna they are even hoping for spectators. ”Imola is getting ready for the first Formula One race in Europe in 2021. We hope the circuit can be open to the public, even if only a limited number to ensure the safety of everyone,” said the president of Emilia Romagna, Stefano Bonaccini, according to Motorsportweek.com.
‘We continue to propose sporting events, because few regions are able to pull this off. There is a desire here to continue and to demonstrate that we must resist the virus. With the launch of the vaccinations, we are going into the next few months with confidence and we can rebuild everything”, concludes Bonaccini.
