The 6 Hours of Imola is an endurance race for sports cars, held at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola, Italy.

History

The race was first held as the fourth round of the 2011 Intercontinental Le Mans Cup and the third round of the 2011 Le Mans Series.^[1] The circuit was dropped from the newly founded FIA World Endurance Championship and European Le Mans Series calendar in 2012. In 2013, the circuit returned to the 2013 European Le Mans Series calendar, however the race was held for 3 hours.

With the announcement of 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship calendar on 9 June 2023 at the Automobile Club de l'Ouest press conference, the race was revived again by replacing the 6 Hours of Monza.^[2] The Italian round of the World Endurance Championship, 6 Hours of Monza had been held at Monza in July between 2021 and 2023. However, to accommodate an extra non-European round of the championship the Italian race needed to be moved from July to April; with Monza undergoing upgrade works in April, the circuit was unable to host the race, so the Italian round was shifted to Imola instead of Monza.^[3] Despite the fact that the race was originally intended as a one-off race, it was announced on 14 June 2024 that Imola will continue to host FIA World Endurance Championship races until 2028 after signing an 4-year contract extension.^[4]
