Through the years a number of different regulations and circuits were used, with the majority being Formula Two races at the ACI Vallelunga Circuit. In 1954 and 1963 the Rome Grand Prix was run to Formula One rules, but neither event was included in the World Championship.

The 1947 race was notable as it marked the first win for Ferrari with a car of their own construction, the Ferrari 125 S.[1]

In the late 2000s, plans were being made for a Rome Grand Prix to be added to the Formula One World Championship in 2013.[2] A street circuit around the EUR district of Rome was to be the location of the race. However, speculation that the race would threaten the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, as well as a lack of support from local residents, led to the plans being abandoned in early 2011.[3][4][5]

gollark: So leave it and ignore it in a specific place. Maybe the Moon or something, if space travel gets cheaper.
gollark: Apparently the recycling of solar panels isn't very efficient or cost-effective right now.
gollark: It's still quite small, so you can shove it in a box somewhere and ignore it, or apparently run much of it through a breeder reactor to reuse it.
gollark: The nuclear waste problem isn't even that much of an issue compared to vast amounts of degraded solar panels, it's much lower in volume.
gollark: ħi.
