After an exciting and wet weekend in Monaco, Niverville native and race car driver David Richert is headed to Monza, a circuit that has a rich history in motor racing, to compete once again in the Eurocup Formula Renault.
Built in 1922, the Autodromo di Monza—more widely known as the Temple of Speed—was the birthplace of the Italian Formula 1 Grand Prix, which is still held there to this day. Many other racing events are hosted at Monza, including the International GT Open, the Monza Rally Show, the World Touring Car Championship, and the Suberbike World Championship.
The circuit has undergone several changes over the past 94 years, with few of the original circuit elements and portions left remaining. The current track length is 5.8 kilometres, and holds the record for the highest speed recorded during a Formula 1 race of 370.1 kilometres per hour, set by Kimi Räikkönen during the 2005 Italian Grand Prix.
While Richert won’t be reaching Formula 1 speeds this race, he’s aiming for the podium with the help of his corporate partners: Diabolica Wines, Silver Jeans Co., Loewen, Karma Property Management, Casamigos, and R.R. Dobel Insurance.
Richert’s Eurocup race weekend is set to start on July 1 and continue through the weekend, with the final race being an opening to the Formula Grand Prix on Sunday, July 3.
