6 Hours of Imola 2027: your guide to the WEC round at the Ferrari circuit

The 6 Hours of Imola 2027 is round 2 of the WEC season, held on 9-11 April at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Italy. This guide explains the race, the circuit, how to plan your trip and how to get ticket news as soon as sales open.

6 Hours of Imola 2027: when and where

The 6 Hours of Imola takes place over the weekend of 9-11 April 2027, with the race on 11 April. It is the second round of the WEC 2027 calendar, two weeks after the opener in Qatar and two weeks before Silverstone. The status is confirmed, though no timetable has been published yet, so session times are still to be announced.

The venue is the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, in the town of Imola in Italy. The race has been part of the championship since 2022. In 2026 the round was held on 19 April, so the 2027 event comes a little earlier in the spring.

Six hours is easy for fans: you can watch the whole race without staying overnight.

Why the 6 Hours of Imola suits endurance racing

Imola is a compact, old-school track with a flowing rhythm, elevation changes and a reputation for being hard to pass on. In a six-hour race, that makes strategy and pit stops especially important, and traffic management between classes becomes a decisive factor.

Watching the 6 Hours of Imola from the stands

Specific grandstand names and access details have not been confirmed for 2027, so we do not name them. As a general rule at circuits like this, seats near the pit straight give you the pit-stop action and the start, while spots around the corners show you how drivers deal with slower cars.

Booking early is wise for a spring weekend in Emilia-Romagna, because accommodation in and around Imola, and in nearby cities, gets busy when major events are on.

Getting to the 6 Hours of Imola and where to stay

Imola is in northern Italy, in the region of Emilia-Romagna, and is commonly reached through Bologna, which has an airport and a main railway station. Official shuttles, parking and access routes for 2027 have not been announced, so check them once the organisers publish spectator information.
