Monza, the famous speed temple, has started a new chapter with a big upgrade project. With a 21 million euro investment, this famous Italian track is moving towards a future of new ideas and safety.
On the morning of January 8, 2024, a big moment for Monza began. With Infrastructure and Transport Minister Matteo Salvini there, work on making the track better started. This big plan, set to finish in 140 days, aims to change how both drivers and fans experience the track.
The upgrade includes fixing up three underpasses and making a new one at the Vedano entrance. This will help separate cars and people walking and make it safer and easier for fans to move around. The track will also get new asphalt that is better and more flexible, to improve how it stands up and works.
Angelo Sticchi Damiani, the head of the Automobile Club of Italy, talked about how important the Italian Grand Prix is for the area, bringing in about 473 million euros. He also said the goal is to keep the track up to date, suggesting a new Motorsport museum and making the area around it, like the Park and the Royal Villa, better.
Special attention will be given to making the stands better and putting a permanent roof over the pit area. This will strengthen the support pillars and improve services for the people watching. This work, along with planning a public transport system with Milan, aims to make Monza not just a race place, but a big spot for tourists and sports.
This renewal is part of a bigger plan: Monza wants to keep the Italian Grand Prix until 2030 and beyond, keeping its place in the racing world. With these changes, Monza is not just improving its tracks, but remaking itself as a symbol of excellence and new ideas in the world of cars.
