The circuit is also known as Enna-Pergusa, as the lake is located near the city of Enna. During the 1960s, the track hosted various sportscar events such as the Coppa Città di Enna and later in the 1970s the Coppa Florio. It also played host to a non-championship Formula One event known as the Mediterranean Grand Prix. In 1989 the Italian round of the World Superbike Championship was held here. In the 1990s, the track was upgraded and hosted events for the FIA Sportscar Championship, FIA GT Championship, and Formula 3000. In 1997, the track was also the location of the Ferrari Festival. The last round of the 2012 Superstars Series and 2012 International GTSprint Series was held at Pergusa. The circuit hosted a round of the European Touring Car Cup in 2013, 2014 and 2015. The venue hosted a round of the 2015 TCR Italian Series. The dust and the abrasive nature of the track tended to make the surface very slippery. The Formula 3000 races in particular were also known for very poor standards of organization and marshalling. Starting in 1974, the Coppa Florio, one of the world's oldest motor races, was revived as a sports car race at Pergusa. The race counted towards the World Sportscar Championship most years from 1975, last being held in 1981. In 2020, Creventic hosted a 12 hour race around the circuit in a two day event on October 10–11 as part of the 2020 24H GT Series, again reviving the Coppa Florio name.

I thought that would be a really bad track for the Porsche, but it was not that bad. Good braking was important and I kind of like this track, still the BMW was too fast to follow him on the straight respectively also at least as fast as myself on braking. So congrats, well deserved, even though I am not sure what Toni could have done. Anyway, good fun, I only can recommend to join us next round. Although I am not sure how good the Porsche is in Monza.
The other Pantera crashed in the second chicane and plugged it like a cork just as I was coming through. A lot of damage, but luckily I could continue, although pretty far back from the rest. Still, 4th is not bad, I guess.
