Monza
The eighth round of the 2026 Formula 3 season takes place at Autodromo Nazionale Monza, a 5.793-kilometre high-speed circuit northeast of Milan. Despite not using the historic banked sections since 1961, the track retains its high-speed character through four full-throttle sections and dramatic braking moments from over 270 down to 80 kilometres per hour before the first chicane. Racing has been held at this venue in Monza's Royal Park since its opening event on 3 September 1922. Autodromo Nazionale Monza was the world's third purpose-built racing circuit after Brooklands and Indianapolis.
