THE abandoned oval circuit at Monza has not been used since 1961 after a horror crash which killed a driver and 15 spectators.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was opened in 1922 for the Italian Grand Prix but it did not take long for tragedy to strike as driver Fritz Kuhn was killed during practice.<\/p>\n

Six years later a huge disaster occurred when driver Emilio Materassi lost control of his car and crashed into the mainstand.<\/p>\n

Materassi died along with 22 spectators and the Italian GP was not held again until 1931.<\/p>\n

However it would not take long until another horrific crash took place – in 1933 three drivers died at the Grand Prix in an incident known as the Black Day of Monza.<\/p>\n

A change to the track was made in 1933 and further changes would follow after another shocking incident in 1961.<\/p>\n

Wolfgang von Trips and 15 spectators were killed following a crash in lap two of the Italian GP.<\/p>\n

Since then the banking at the track has not been used, and even now it is clear to see how dangerous it must have been.<\/p>\n

The banking has not been maintained but it has not been overgrown by nature either, so a part of Monza history remains.<\/p>\n
