Book the property →The circuit was inaugurated in 1974 on the hills of Scarperia, about 12 km from the property. The layout, designed to follow the natural topography of the site, features 15 corners over 5.245 km, with an elevation change of around 40 metres between its lowest point and the Casanova–Savelli. The pit straight is 1,141 metres long, one of the longest on the calendar. It has been owned by the Ferrari Group since 1988.
The Italian motorcycle Grand Prix has been held at the Mugello since 1976 (previously at Monza and Imola). Valentino Rossi holds the record with seven consecutive wins in the premier class (2002–2008). The MotoGP outright lap record is held by Francesco Bagnaia at 1'45.187 (2023). The highest speed recorded in a race was 366.1 km/h, set by Jorge Martín on a Ducati in 2023 on the main straight — an absolute category record.
Turn 4 of the circuit is named after Emilio Materassi (Borgo San Lorenzo, 1894 – Monza, 1928), a Bugatti driver and winner of the 1927 Targa Florio. His biography is covered in the Emilio room of the Leopoldina. Other corners of the track refer to local geography: Casanova, Savelli, Arrabbiata 1 and 2, Scarperia, Palagio, Bucine.
The MotoGP Grand Prix weekend takes place in late May or early June and draws about 180,000 spectators over three days. Throughout the year the circuit hosts Italian CIV championship races, open track days and Ferrari Corse Clienti sessions. From the property, with a favourable wind, testing days can be heard in the distance.
