Find cheap car hire for Monza F1 in Italy
The venue for the Italian Formula 1 Grand Prix is the Monza race circuit, also known as Autodromo Nazionale Monza in Italian. The Monza track is located only about 13 miles north of Milan city centre and has a spectator capacity just short of 114,000.
The 3.6 miles Monza circuit has some of the longest main straights and fastest corners of the Formula 1 season and is therefore also one of the fastest tracks. Rubens Barrichello’s 2004 lap record from the high powered V10 days still stands. It was not uncommon for those F1 cars to reach 230 mph+ on the Monza circuit. However, after the introduction of the smaller 2.4 litre V8 engines used in the 2012 season, speeds rarely exceed 200 mph on the Monza race track.
For Monza F1 car hire, the closest airport to the track is Milan Linate Airport, which also offers a very wide variety of hire cars from different car rental companies such as: Europcar, Hertz, Auto Europa, AVIS Italy, Budget, Thrifty ,Sixt, AutoNoleggio, Locauto Rent, Maggiore National, and Targa Rent.
