Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello

The Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello lies in Tuscany and has been owned by Scuderia Ferrari since 1988, according to Wikipedia, which originally took it over for Formula 1 testing. The permanent circuit opened on 23 June 1974 after ground was broken in 1973; before that, road races ran from the 1920s on a 66.2 kilometre course over the public roads around Mugello, until that event ended in 1970 after a fatal accident. The current track measures 5.245 kilometres with 15 turns and a 1.141 kilometre straight, and capacity is given as 50,000 spectators. The Italian motorcycle Grand Prix is held here annually, and on 13 September 2020 the venue staged its first ever Formula 1 race, the Tuscan Grand Prix. Asphalt is documented as the surface and our own record lists roughly 5,245 metres. The source we checked carries no information on track days, booking or fees - ask the operator before you travel. Mugello is a circuit where speed is a constant: more than a kilometre of full throttle in one go, then fast sweeping corners where the bike is barely upright. That is exactly where you feel immediately whether the balance is right, because a vague sensation in a fast sweeper costs you confidence before it costs you time. If the bike feels vague or unsettled through the fast corners, top of our cause list is this: ride-height and sag balance are off - the bike feels vague at speed; set sag first. Treat that as a starting point, not a safety guarantee.
