The Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli is a 2.59-mile (4.16-km) road course operating since 1969 in the town of Misano Adriatico, on a 4-hour ride from Rome, Italy. It is the venue for the MotoGP Grand Prix of San Marino, run at Misano intermittently since 1981 and every year since 2007. The warm and temperate climate of the region is ideal for motorsports and has no dry season, as it rains regularly throughout every season. The Misano World Circuit is compatible with both the clockwise and counterclockwise orientations. The road course was named after the local motorcyclist Marco Simoncelli after his tragic death in 2011.
The circuit's layout looks like the letter "T" when seen from above. The races start/finish in one of the longest straightaways in the track, and corners 1, 2, and 3 form the Variante del Parco. The first tight angle corner is number four, Rio, followed by two 90-degrees corners, 5 and 6. Turn number seven is a fast-paced sweeper taking riders to Quercia, another tight-angle corner challenging their maneuvering skills. The Tramonto corner is next: an even tighter turn leading into the fastest section of the track. Turns 11, 12, and 13 are a succession of sweepers that end abruptly on turn 14, called Carro. The 90-degrees turn 15 and 16, Misano, closed the trajectory of this exciting to watch circuit.
