Imola, Italy - Grand Prix Racetrack Artwork

Few circuits in Formula 1® evoke the same emotion and reverence as Imola. Carved into the rolling landscape of Emilia-Romagna and rich with motorsport heritage, the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari® blends old-school danger with modern precision. Narrow, fast, and relentlessly technical, Imola pushes drivers to commit through iconic corners like Tamburello, Piratella, and Acque Minerali. Home to unforgettable triumphs and solemn moments that shaped F1 forever, this legendary venue represents the soul of grand prix racing. Our artwork captures Imola’s character, historic, intense, and deeply respected, available in both day and night modes for the perfect tribute to one of motorsport’s most sacred battlegrounds.

Initially built in the early 1950s, it became a permanent fixture of the sport in 1980 and later hosted the famed San Marino Grand Prix for over two decades. Today, Imola remains a symbol of motorsport passion in Italy.
