Season 18 Novices Trophy - Round 9 - MonzaThe penultimate round of the Trophy is at Monza, the cathedral of motorsport. Built in Villa Reale park north of Monza and officially opened on 3 September 1922. The 1933 race was marked by the deaths of three drivers and the Grand Prix layout was changed, with two chicanes added and the longer straights removed. The first grand prix after WW2 was held on 17 October 1948. The high speed banking was added in 1954. 1961 had a fatal accident, with Wolfgang von Trips and fourteen spectators dying near the Parabolica. Despite the fact that the bankings were not involved in that accident, F1 never raced on the oval again (except in the film Grand Prix made in 1966). The 1000 km Monza staged the last event on the banking in 1969. Various 'safety' measures were introduced in subsequent years with additional chicanes and run off areas.
Drivers should be especially careful on lap 1 as usual but especially under braking with cold tyres at the Lesmos and please keep to your own side of the track through the Curva Grande unless you are sure there is no one along side.
