large construction of Arengario (tribune). Last but not least MonzaPark ? is a definite visit for all Formula One fans.
MONZAPARK~
The park is one of the largest of its kind in Europe covering an area of over 7325sq. metres. It has an equestrian school, an 18-hole golf course, polo fields, tennis courts etc. Inside this park is the famous Monza race circuit (Autodromo di Monza).
On entering the park my first view was of a large palace like building (Villa Reale) and several smaller neo-classical buildings with their own courtyards. My ultimate destination being the race circuit, I keenly followed instructions I had received from an army officer to walk through the park that would take me to the race circuit.

Home to the Italian Grand Prix Monza is always a race full of atmosphere; this is the home of the prancing horse, Ferrari, and their passionate followers, the Tifosi. The circuit itself mildly resembles a modern-day Circus Maximus, fast and probably the closest you will see to an F1 Oval circuit.
The history of the track is outstanding - it holds tha fastest ever F1 race time recorded way back in 1971 by Peter Gethin in a time of 1 hour and 18 minutes. It was also the closet race of all time with 5 cars crossing the finish line within 1 second of the winner.
Tomorrow sees the 50th F1 race held - the most of any circuits - Damon Hill still holds the fastest ever speed around this circuit of an average of 155 miles ...
