Season 39 – 1955 GP - PRIVATEERS – Round 2 – Monza 10K
For the second race in the 1955 Grand Prix series we visit the “Cathedral of Speed” in Italy. The Autodromo Nazionale Monza is a race track located near the city of Monza, north of Milan. Built in the Royal Villa of Monza park in a woodland setting, the circuit has gone through numerous changes over the years. Perhaps the most striking feature in the park is the steep banked (sopraelevata) curves on the now defunct 10Km variant, first used in 1955. The original circuit (used between 1922 and 1933) also had an oval section but the banked curves were not as wide or as steep as the later 1955 variant. The banked circuit was used on four occasions for Formula 1 races; in 1955, 1956, 1960 and finally in 1961 when it was decided that Formula 1 cars were just too fast to be safe on the oval track. The banked oval section was last used in any capacity in 1969. From 1962 onwards, the Formula 1 Grand Prix was held on the "road circuit" which by the early 1970s was also deemed to be too fast for Formula 1 cars. Two chicanes were introduced for 1972 Italian Grand Prix, one at the Ascari curve and another on the approach to the Curva Grande. Tonight we will relive the dramatic race in 1955 on the full 10Km circuit complete with steep bankings and no chicanes. Have a look at this video (unfortunately no sound) of the 1955 race for inspiration.

Yes. 15 + 10 for start - 20 for SL = 5 remaining.
