| The Imola Council decided to rename the
circuit in honour of Enzo Ferrari's son Dino who had died in 1956. The renaming led to a loyalty from Enzo and the Circuit Dino
Ferrari soon raised enough money to turn the track into a permanent closed circuit. When the great man died, the circuit was
renamed, Circuit Enzo e Dino Ferrari. 1982 saw one of the most legendary races in Formula One history. Having crashed at the
corner which would later bear his name in 1981, Gilles Villeneuve returned to Imola determined to win. However, after a titanic
battle his team mate at Ferrari, Didier Pironi, took the lead and won the race. Villeneuve was incensed as he claimed Pironi had
broken team orders. He swore never to speak to him again. He never would. At the next race in Zolder, Villeneuve was killed in a
horrifying accident in qualifying. In 1987 and 1989 Nelson Piquet and Gerhard Berger had big accidents at the high speed
Tamburello corner. They emerged relatively unscathed, but in 1994 the corner claimed the life of one of Formula One's greatest
drivers, Ayrton Senna. In one of the sport's darkest weekends Rubens Barrichello was knocked unconscious on Friday morning. Roland
Ratzenberger, the much loved Austrian rookie, was tragically killed on Saturday with minutes of qualifying left. The race itself saw
collisions, stray tyres in the pit lane, and, most tragically, the death of Senna. Despite the events of 1994, Imola has
retained some of its magic. It is still a marvellous circuit with corners such as Acque Minerale providing real challenges for the
modern Formula One driver. The atmosphere created by the tifosi is unlike anything on earth. They live and breathe Ferrari and give
Imola a special type of magic you won't find anywhere else. The 'Paddock Club' Package includes: - 3
