Despite its title, the race has been run at shorter lengths (most notably in the late 1970s and early 1990s, before the demise of the World Sportscar Championship in 1992).

The Coppa Intereuropa was first held in 1949[1] on a 6.300 km (3.915 mi) circuit.

[citation needed] In 1963, the race was held as a three-hour event for production-based cars in the World Sportscar Championship before its expansion to 1,000 km in 1965.

From 1970, the shorter 5.793 km (3.600 mi) Grand Prix circuit has been used occasionally.

Three races were held between 2021 and 2023, with the Italian round of WEC moving to Imola in 2024.
