Facilities

The Fiorano track was built in 1972 in an area adjacent to the plant. The original circuit, which still exists, measured 3 km, but a variant introduced in 1996 (a fast bend to replace a sharp corner at the end of the pit straight) shortened the total length by 24 meters. It is equipped with closed circuit television, electronic timing and telemetry, and it is used for tests and trials on Formula 1 and GT cars.
Mugello Circuit
In 1988 Ferrari bought the Mugello international racetrack near Florence, renovating the structure, track and facilities for tests and races. Today Mugello is one of the loveliest circuits in the world, and it hosts top level car and motorbikes events, ad well as being chosen by several manufacturers as an ideal setting for their development tests. The course is 5,245 meters long. Both Fiorano and Mugello tracks belong entirely to Ferrari S.p.A
