Autodromo Riccardo Paletti

Autodromo Riccardo Paletti is a race track for motorsports near Varano in the Province of Parma, Italy, about 30 km (19 mi) southwest of Parma. The track began as a small 0.550 km (0.342 mi) oval in 1969, and this was then expanded to a full 1.800 km (1.118 mi), 11-turn race track. This new layout was inaugurated officially on 26 March 1972. The track is named after Formula One driver Riccardo Paletti (1958–1982), who was killed at the 1982 Canadian Grand Prix.

In 2001 the layout was extended to a length of 2.375 km (1.476 mi). However, the layout length was decreased to 2.360 km (1.466 mi) in 2010, then 2.350 km (1.460 mi) in 2011.

Among the track's co-founders was engineer Giampaolo Dallara, who later established Dallara in Varano.

As of September 2011, the fastest official race lap records at the Autodromo Riccardo Paletti are listed as:
