Reliving the charm of the iconic Imola 200 races, Ducati is organising a third revival event edition at the Enzo and Dino Ferrari Circuit of Imola this September. The event marks the 40^th anniversary of Paul Smart’s legendary 1972 victory on his famous Ducati 750 ImolaDesmo. The event is still considered the start of Ducati’s superbiking success and a milestone in the company’s racing history.

Smart is slated to ride his 750 ImolaDesmo in the Ducati Hall Of Fame Parade during the three-day event, where he will be joined by other famous personalities. The event is to witness the participation of all the Imola 200 Ducati motorcycles and will host a four-hour endurance race for heritage motorcycles like the 900NCR, 600TT2 and the 750TT1. The celebrations of Smart’s 40^th anniversary began during the World Ducati Week 2012 (WDW), post which it moved to the Belgian circuit of Spa Francorchamps.
