The Mugello
circuit is not just one of the most exciting and demanding
tracks in the world but also an important economic reality
and source of revenue for the owner and the region. This is
the result of a report by the Italian research company
Simurg, presented to the press at the race track in Tuscany
in the presence of Stefano Domenicali, Head of the Scuderia
Ferrari, the new CEO of the Mugello Circuit S.p.A. (100
percent of the company is owned by Ferrari, which is also
managing the circuit) Paolo Poli, his predecessor Fausto
Cappi and the mayor of Scarperia Sandra Galazzo.
An estimate of the overall economic impact was made of about
22.7 million Euros. Around four and a half million Euros are
generated directly by the track itself (purchase of goods
and services, property maintenance, management of the
structure and the staff), while just over 18 million arrive
from the hotel, restaurant, hospitality, commercial and
craftsmanship sectors. The circuit-company earned 1,9
million during the year examined in the research (2007):
this is the difference between costs (13.7 million, 2.5 for
depreciation) and revenue (15.6), fruits from an activity,
which is carried out on an average on two out of three days
during a solar year.
"The circuit means movement of people and resources,
investment and opportunities for development," Domenicali
said. "Ferrari believes in this facility and wants to make
the most of it in the future with new initiatives. From the
organizational point of view this facility represents
excellence not only in Italy but in the whole world. I want
to thank everybody working here: it's a slim organisation,
made almost entirely by people from the region, who know how
to give it all with commitment and professionalism."
