FORMULA 1 Gran Premio Foster's di San Marino 2006

After three long-haul races, the San Marino Gran Prix marks the start of F1's European seasson. This is the first time in the year the teams will get to use thier own trucks and motorhomes and is welcome relief for the mechanics who get use their mobile workshops without all the packing and unpacking of freight cases. The truckies will have set off for the long drive to Imola during the weekend prior to the race and, by the time the rest of the team arrives on the Wednesday, will have everything set up and ready to go.

The name of this race is misleading as Imola isn't in San Marino at all but over the border in Italy, but there can't be two Italian Grand Prix and this gives the ever-enthusiastic 'tifosi' a double dose of F1.

Opened in 1952 as a fast-flowing power track, Imola underwent heavy revisions after the fateful weekend in May 1994 that claimed the lives of Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger. The fast, sweeping corners has been slowed by chicanes now so the roar of F1 is not so loud through the Imola parkland but it remains a track that the drivers enjoy very much.
