The Mugello GP was revived in 1955 and from the 1964 to 1969 as a [[Targa Florio]]-like road race consisting of eight laps of 66.2 km each, including the [[Passo della Futa]] of [[Mille Miglia]] fame. The anticlockwise track passed the towns of [[San Piero a Sieve]], [[Scarperia]], [[Violla]], [[Firenzuola]], [[Selva]], [[San Lucia]]. It counted towards the [[1965 World Sportscar Championship season|1965]], [[1966 World Sportscar Championship season|1966]] and [[1967 World Sportscar Championship season]]. The last WC race was won by [[Udo Schütz]] and [[Gerhard Mitter]] on a [[Porsche 910]]. After two Porsche wins, the local fans could celebrate again in 1968, when the [[Alfa Romeo Tipo 33]] driven by [[Luciano Bianchi]], [[Nanni Galli]] and [[Nino Vaccarella]] prevailed over the Porsche driven by Rico Steinemann and [[Jo Siffert]], and in 1969, when [[Arturo Merzario]] won with an [[Abarth]] 2000.

Mugello Circuit (Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello) is a race track in the Mugello region of Italy near Florence. Its length is 5.245 km. It has 15 turns and a long straight.

Grand Prix motorcycle racing host an annual event here (MotoGP and smaller classes). Also, the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters hold an annual event. The track is used for Formula One testing, mainly by Scuderia Ferrari. The first race of the A1GP 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.


History

Road races were held on public streets (road racing) around Mugello since the 1920s. Giuseppe Campari won there in 1920 and 1921, Emilio Materassi in 1925, 1926 & 1928.

The Mugello GP was revived in 1955 and from the 1964 to 1969 as a Targa Florio-like road race consisting of eight laps of 66.2 km each, including the Passo della Futa of Mille Miglia fame. The anticlockwise track passed the towns of San Piero a Sieve, Scarperia, Violla, Firenzuola, Selva, San Lucia. It counted towards the 1965, 1966 and 1967 World Sportscar Championship season. The last WC race was won by Udo Schütz and Gerhard Mitter on a Porsche 910. After two Porsche wins, the local fans could celebrate again in 1968, when the Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 driven by Luciano Bianchi, Nanni Galli and Nino Vaccarella prevailed over the Porsche driven by Rico Steinemann and Jo Siffert, and in 1969, when Arturo Merzario won with an Abarth 2000.
