Track Info
Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli - Misano Adriatico, Emilia-Romagna, Italy
Modern seaside Grand Prix venue - clockwise - 4.226 km, 16 turns with short straights, big traction zones and the flat-out Curvone
When was the track built?
Designed in 1969 and inaugurated in 1972, Misano started as a flat, anticlockwise course near the Adriatic resorts of Rimini and Riccione. Major works in 2006–07 widened the circuit, upgraded safety and reversed direction to clockwise, enabling MotoGP’s return in 2007. In 2012 it was officially renamed Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli.
When was its first race?
The venue’s first race season was 1972. Grand Prix bikes first visited in 1980, with MotoGP returning permanently from 2007 after the rebuild.
What's the circuit like?
- Traction and precision: Short straights and many acceleration zones put a premium on rear-tyre management and clean exits, especially from Quercia (T8) and Tramonto (T10).
- High-speed bravery: Curvone (T11) is a flat-out right for top classes that feeds a flowing final sector toward Carro and the last-right at Misano.
- Compact battles: With a 530 m longest straight and 16 corners, overtakes come from cutbacks and switchbacks rather than pure top speed. Brembo rates Misano moderate on brakes but busy with many deceleration points.
- Benchmark pace: MotoGP’s 1:30.877 race lap and GT3’s 1:31.939 show how grippy the modern surface is when conditions are right.
Lap records and benchmarks (by series)
- MotoGP - race lap: 1:30.877 - Francesco Bagnaia, 2024 Emilia-Romagna GP.
- GT World Challenge Europe - GT3 race lap: 1:31.939 - Raffaele Marciello, 2022 Sprint Cup.
- DTM - race lap: 1:30.288 - Augusto Farfus, 2018.
- Single-seater benchmarks: BOSS GP/FR3.5 record 1:20.042 - Haralds Slegelmilhs, 2024.
Why go?
Sun, sea and stacked schedules. Misano packs grandstands close to the action, MotoGP delivers relentless momentum through the stadium sector, and night racing for GT World and 24H Series brings a different vibe under the lights.
Where's the best place to watch?
- Quercia hairpin (T8): Heavy-brake overtakes after a fast run - great for photos and divebombs.
- Tramonto (T10) to Curvone (T11): Exit traction from T10 sets the draft into the flat-out right - commitment on display.
- Final sector - Carro to Misano: Kerb discipline and launch to the flag with pit action in view.
Not just MotoGP - headline events at Misano
GT World Challenge Europe Sprint: Spectacular night races and packed GT3 fields.
DTM: Returned with twilight running and slipstream fights on the GP layout.
24H Series: Creventic endurance events showcase traffic management and strategy on the 4.226 km course.
Formula E (2024): Ran a dedicated ePrix configuration with added chicanes around the southern section.
