Track Info
Mugello Circuit - Scarperia e San Piero, Tuscany, Italy
Permanent road course in the Tuscan hills - clockwise - fast, flowing corner sequences, a 1.141 km main straight and ~41 m elevation change
When was the track built?
Construction began in 1973 and the closed circuit opened in 1974 as a modern replacement for the old Mugello road course. Ferrari purchased the venue in 1988 and continues to use it extensively for testing and events. The layout’s natural sweep through the valley delivers elevation changes of roughly 41 m per lap, one reason drivers and riders rate it so highly.
When was its first race?
The autodrome’s first race meetings ran in 1974. Mugello’s current F1 chapter came with the 2020 Tuscan Grand Prix, where Hamilton set both pole and race-lap records on the 5.245 km course.
What's the circuit like?
- Fast, flowing rhythm: Sequences like Arrabbiata 1-2 and Biondetti reward aero efficiency and commitment. There are no slow chicanes to break the tempo.
- San Donato overtakes: The 1.141 km pit straight builds massive slipstreaming into the Turn 1 hairpin - prime passing for both cars and bikes.
- Elevation and camber: Approximately 41 m of altitude variance loads tyres long and makes braking points breathe with wind changes.
- Benchmark pace: F1 race-lap record 1:18.833; MotoGP race-lap reference 1:45.770 by Francesco Bagnaia (2024).
Lap records and benchmarks (by series)
- Formula 1 - race lap: 1:18.833 - Lewis Hamilton, 2020 Tuscan GP. Qualifying best: 1:15.144 - Hamilton, 2020.
- MotoGP - race lap: 1:45.770 - Francesco Bagnaia, 2024 Italian GP. Recent poles: multiple new qualifying records set in 2025.
- ELMS LMP2 - race lap: 1:34.882 - Matteo Cairoli, Oreca 07, 2024 4 Hours of Mugello.
- FIA F2 - race lap: 1:33.295 - Dan Ticktum, 2020 round.
- FIA F3 - race lap: 1:37.127 - Lirim Zendeli, 2020 round.
Why go?
Tuscan scenery, amphitheater mounds and a layout that puts speed and bravery on show. The straight-to-San Donato braking duels are unmissable, while Arrabbiata 1-2 and the downhill rush to Biondetti let you see aero and mechanical grip at work. With MotoGP, ELMS and national GT programs, it’s an easy sell to book a weekend here.
Where's the best place to watch?
- San Donato (T1): Starts, restarts and late-brake dives after the mile-long draft down the main straight.
- Arrabbiata 1-2: Iconic, high-load right-handers that show raw commitment and tyre management.
- Casanova-Savelli: Rapid direction change into a downhill plunge - mistakes snowball here.
- Biondetti chicane: Fast flick that sets the launch back onto the straight for the sprint to the line.
Not just F1: headline series at Mugello
MotoGP - Italian GP: One of the calendar’s fastest and most atmospheric rounds, with record-breaking qualifying and pack drafting down the straight.
European Le Mans Series: The 4 Hours of Mugello showcases LMP2 pace and multi-class traffic through Mugello’s flowing arcs.
GT World Challenge & national GT/TCR: Frequent GT3 visits and deep Italian national grids underline the circuit’s versatility.
