GP of Mugello: where to sleep during the race weekend

If you are looking for a place to sleep during the Mugello GP there is good news for outdor lovers. It is possible to camp inside the Autodrome.

Yes, as the circuit is located in the heart of Mugello there are a lot of green areas and it is in fact possible to pitch your tent in the Autodrome. There are also spaces for campers and barbecue areas.

To take advantage of this possibility it will be enough to buy the tickets in the “Prato” sector.

Not being an equipped Camping, if you decide to live the emotions of the Mugello GP sleeping in a tent then you will need to bring with you everything you need. Tent, sleeping bag, towels, flashlight and everything that will be useful to your stay as the Autodrome does not have this type of products or services.

But at the Autodrome you will find stands where you can buy food and drinks. The city of Scarperia is quite close and you can reach it on foot to buy any type of product or enjoy delicious lunches in typical trattorias.

To all those who want to experience the thrills of the Mugello GP without sacrificing comfort, we recommend choosing one of the beautiful resorts located near the circuit.

Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort, for example, is a splendid Renaissance Resort only 18 km from the Mugello international racetrack.

The peace of the Tuscan countryside, the relax of the centuries-old park with swimming pool and all the taste of our delicious restaurant where you can taste traditional dishes.
