through the International Road Racing Teams Association, is the most important
recognition in the world of motorcycle racing. The Tuscan racetrack was named the best of all the circuits
worldwide that host Grand Prix races. The criteria for the award are rigorous
and include many aspects, from management to the quality of the structure, the
organizational skills of the staff, and logistics efficiency and services.
‘I
consider this award a recognition of Italian excellence in the world,’ said
Paolo Poli, director of the Ferrari-owned racetrack in the Mugello. ‘The prize
won by the Mugello international racetrack, organizer of the Italian Grand Prix

great challenges. Especially in the area of sports facilities and their management,
which compared to other facilities in the rest of the world, are supported
directly by national states.’
