The Autodromo Nazionale Monza is one of the world’s most famous racing circuits located near the city of Monza, north of Milan, in Italy. Operational since 1922, it is the third oldest racing track in the world. It was purpose built for both the Italian Grand Prix, and to give Italian automakers a high-velocity track on which to R&D their products. In 1954, work began to entirely revamp the circuit, resulting in a 5.750 kilometers (3.573 mi) course, and a new 4.250 kilometers (2.641 mi) high-speed oval with banked Sopraelevata curves. The two circuits could be combined to re-create the former 10 kilometers (6.214 mi) long circuit, with cars running parallel on the main straight. The track infrastructure was also updated and improved to better accommodate the teams and spectators. The banking held the last race in 1969 with the 1000 km of Monza. but still exists today, albeit in a decayed state. It is used once a year for the Monza Rally.
