Autodromo Nazionale Monza

In the game

Monza in Gran Turismo 7 is the current Grand Prix layout, with or without its chicanes. The game recreates the pit straight with its podium hanging over the track, a lap of fast straights joined by chicanes and the Parabolica.

The real place

Monza opened in 1922 and is one of the oldest purpose-built circuits in the world, known as the Temple of Speed. It lies inside the walled park of the Royal Villa of Monza, and the steep concrete bankings of its old high-speed oval still stand among the trees, unused for racing since the 1960s.

Visiting

Monza is about 20 minutes by train from Milan. Outside race weekends the circuit runs guided tours, track days and public events; check the official calendar. The old bankings can be seen from the park's paths.
