Monza, Autodromo Nazionale
Description Original proposal of Monza circuit. Works for build it begun on February 26th 1922, but they were suspended after two days because of "reason of its artistic and monumental value and landscape saving". After long discussions, in the middle of April this proposal was approved but under impossible conditions. A new proposal for a 10 km circuit (blue on the map) was made in two weeks and in the middle of May finally works begun again. After 100 days only, on Augst 20th, a car did the first test of the track and on September 10th first Grand Prix was raced.

Monza, Autodromo Nazionale
Description Abandoned project for a new oval track (without banking) to be used for an Indycar race in 1995.

Main straight, Curva Parabolica, opposite straight. Until today (July 20th 2003) I wrote that circuit should have used the old Curva Pirelli or del Raccordo modified to 180°, but such a trach should 4,15 km long, much more than 3,2 km of this proposal. If I consider to use the first section of curva Nord Alta Velocità the track is 3.2 km long, so I think that this should have been the proposal. In that bit of the track, my map is quite approximated.

Circuito Stradale
Description From 2010 first chicane is available in two different layouts: a new fastest one, used by motorbikes and the old slowest one, used by cars since 2000. It is even possible to use the track without any chicane, as Audi did during a test with their R15 at beginning of April 2010

On September 11th 2021 Curva Parabolica was officially renamed in honour of Michele Alboreto

Circuito Stradale
Description Proposal for adapting the circuit to motorbukes too: first chicane would be canceled, Curva Biassono would be reprofiled using first bend of the old Pirelli Circuit. This new layout would be quicker for cars and it would have a bigger and safer run-off area for motorbikes.
