The circuit hosted its first everFormula One race on 13 September 2020, named theTuscan Grand Prix , as part of the season being restructured due to theCOVID-19 pandemic .[ 4] Scuderia Ferrari .
[ edit ] The start-finish line of historic road circuit (1955) Road races were held on public streets around Mugello from the 1920s. The start was in the village of Scarperia, less than half a kilometer from the current permanent circuit. The circuit went north up the SP503, twisting and turning through mountains through multiple villages, up to the town of Firenzuola. The circuit then went west from Firenzuola, continuing on the SP503 towards the village of Pagliana. The circuit then made a left on the SR65, heading south through the villages of Covigliaio, Selva and Traversa, where the circuit got a bit faster. The circuit then went past a German military cemetery (from 1946 onwards) and entered the famous Futa Pass, which was used for the prestigiousMille Miglia . After this twisty section, the course stayed on the SR65 and went down multiple short straights and fast curves before getting to the villages of Le Maschere and Colle Barucci. The circuit then crossed a bridge going over a narrow section of the Bilancino Lake, going through an ultra fast left hand curve and 2 long straights before turning left onto the SP129, heading towards the town of San Piero a Sieve. The circuit then went north back onto the SP503, heading back to Scarperia to end the lap.
Giuseppe Campari won at Mugello in 1920 and 1921, andEmilio Materassi took victories in 1925, 1926 and 1928. The Mugello GP was revived in 1955 and from the 1964 to 1969 as aTarga Florio -like road race consisting of eight laps of 66.2 km (41.1 mi) each, including thePasso della Futa . The anticlockwise track passed the towns ofSan Piero a Sieve ,Scarperia ,Violla ,Firenzuola ,Sëlva ,San Lucia . It counted towards the1965 ,1966 and1967 World Sportscar Championship season . The last WC race was won[ 5] Udo Schütz andGerhard Mitter in aPorsche 910 . After two Porsche wins, 1968 saw theAlfa Romeo Tipo 33 ofLuciano Bianchi ,Nanni Galli andNino Vaccarella prevail over the Porsche driven by Rico Steinemann andJo Siffert . In 1969,Arturo Merzario won with anAbarth 2000, and he won again in 1970 with the same car, where Abarth finished 1–2–3 withLeo Kinnunen andGijs van Lennep finishing second and third respectively.
The 1970 event brought about the end of the 66.2 km (41.1 mi) Mugello public road circuit; a seven-month-old baby was killed whenSpartaco Dini [de ] crashed his Alfa Romeo GTA into a group of people in Firenzuola during a private test there, when the roads were open to the public (the roads were only closed on race day and for qualifying). Four other people, including two young children, were seriously injured. Although there had only been one previous fatality at the original Mugello circuit (that ofGünther Klass in 1967), the incident badly damaged the event's reputation, and the 1970 race turned out to be the last one held on the public road circuit, which was won once again by Merzario. After the incident, Dini spent two months in prison, and after his time served he left Italy and did not return for many years.
[ edit ] The main straight of permanent circuit (2011) The present-day closed Mugello circuit was constructed in 1973 and opened in 1974, about 5 km (3.1 mi) east from the easternmost part of the original road circuit. Since 1988, the track has been owned byScuderia Ferrari .[ 3]
In 2007 and 2008 theDeutsche Tourenwagen Masters held an annual event. The first race of theA1GP 2008–09 season was originally planned to be held at the Mugello circuit on 21 September 2008. However, the race had to be cancelled due to the delay in building the new chassis for the new race cars.[ 6]
The circuit was used for the in-season test during the2012 Formula One season , by all teams exceptHRT . An unofficial track record of 1:21.035 was set byRomain Grosjean during the test.[ 7] Mark Webber , who stated that he "did 10 dry laps today around Mugello, which is the same as doing 1000 laps aroundAbu Dhabi track in terms of satisfaction".[ 8] Sebastian Vettel said “unfortunately we don't have this track on the calendar. It's an incredible circuit with a lot of high-speed corners”.[ 9] Vitaly Petrov was however critical of the decision to test at Mugello, claiming the circuit was "unsafe".[ 10]
On 10 July 2020, it was announced that the2020 Tuscan Grand Prix on the circuit would be the ninth race in the2020 Formula One calendar , marking the 1000th Grand Prix for Ferrari.[ 11]
At the2021 Italian motorcycle Grand Prix , Moto3 riderJason Dupasquier was killed in an accident. The 19 year old Swiss rider fell at Arrabbiata 2 on his final qualifying lap and was struck by the bikes ofJeremy Alcoba andAyumu Sasaki . The latter two riders escaped without injury, but Dupasquier was immediately airlifted to Careggi hospital inFlorence , with his condition described as “very serious”. He would undergo emergency thoracic surgery that evening, but died of his injuries the following day.
Mugello has the 3-star FIA Environmental Accreditation, and theISO 9001 ,ISO 14001 ,ISO 45001 ,ISO 20121 andEco-Management and Audit Scheme certifications. It was ranked the most sustainable racetrack in the world in a 2021 report.[ 12]
On 26 September 2025,Romain Grosjean marked his return to Formula 1, driving aHaas VF-23 at Mugello, five years after the2020 Bahrain Grand Prix accident. It was for an official Testing of Previous Cars (TPC) session.
