Proposed GP in Rome would not interfere with Monza

By on

As the proposal for a Grand Prix in Rome continues, the president of the Italian Automobile Club, Enrico Gelpi, has honored the Monza circuit, saying that it is important for the country as a whole, and that the street race would not be a threat to the legendary circuit.

Gelpi said to 'Gazzetta dello Sport': "I've read several worried reactions, so I'd like to point out that the Italian GP stays at Monza, which remains a patrimony not just for our country, but for motor racing in the world.

"It hasn't been discussed yet, but obviously it would have to avoid interfering with Monza, which is held in September. A GP in Rome in the spring would be plausible."
