Misano World Circuit

The Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli sits at Misano Adriatico on Italy's Adriatic coast. The technical data published by insella.it give a lap length of 4.23 kilometres at 14 metres of track width, with the longest straight staying under 600 metres. The venue opened in 1972; it ran the Italian Grand Prix until 1993 and the San Marino Grand Prix from 1985 to 1987. MotoGP returned in 2007 after a fourteen-year absence, and the rebuild that came with it turned the direction of travel from anti-clockwise to clockwise. The circuit has carried Marco Simoncelli's name since 2012. The recorded MotoGP lap record is 1:30.390 by Jorge Martin in 2023, with a documented top speed of 305.0 km/h. We have no sourced information on track days, fees or access rules for private riders. We hold it as a technical asphalt circuit, and the layout matches that: short straights, a lot of direction changes and average decelerations around 1.3 to 1.4 g. You work on clean turn-in and on flicking the bike from side to side rather than on top speed. If the bike will not hold the tight line and feels lazy going into the chicanes, top of our cause list is too little rear ride height - raise the rear, or drop the front, to sharpen the turn-in.
