RACING THROUGH MUGELLO




The International Mugello Racetrack is placed in the gorgerous hills of Tuscany, near the city of Scarperia.It is owned and operated by Ferrari, and it is also used as a testing facility for Ferrari’s Formula 1 team. The racetrack is long 5245 meters and, over the course of the year, it is opened for about 300 days, hosting various activities and events, expecilly motocycles and cars’ races. The Mugello circuit is one of the most safety in Europe, so there are no more than one fatality each season. However, what really makes the Mugello Racetrack so special is its location. It is often described as a valley for sports, but people are working to create a space that can host many events without being exclusive to racing: they hope that, although many visitators might think Florence is all Tuscany has to offer, people will understand that there is more.
