Will officially host its first Formula 1 race Sept. 13, 2020, as a late
addition to the F1 calendar due to the coronavirus pandemic. Because
Monza is already hosting the Italian GP the previous weekend, Mugello
will be host to the "Tuscan GP", as the track sits in the Tuscany region
of Italy.

This track is owned by Scuderia Ferrari, making it an unexpected but
very fitting choice for the team's 1,000th Grand Prix when the schedule
was shuffled by the pandemic. Given its ownership, unsurprisingly its
been used as a venue for Formula 1 testing from time to time and drivers
liked it when they got the chance to run here. The track has also been
featured in several racing video games, such as the Forza Motorsport series.

Racing began in this area with a street course 1920 and it continued as
such through 1970, morphing into a large Targa Florio-like event in its
later years with laps more than 65 kilometers in length. After a car
crashed into the crowd during a race in 1970, killing a child, the
street circuit was discontinued. This proper race track was built in
1973 and opened in 1974 to replace it. Through the years it has hosted a
variety of series including MotoGP, DTM, DTM's brief global foray the
International Touring Car Championship, the original Formula 2, its
successor Formula 3000, and the World Sportscar Championship. The 2020
MotoGP race here was cancelled when the chance to host a F1 race sprang up.
