The Tazio Nuvolari Circuito is a racing facility located midway between Milano and Genoa, in the farmlands of Cervesina, in Northern Italy. The 1.74-mile (2.8-km) raceway has eleven corners and a particular disposition that rewards good maneuverability and risk-taking on its high-speed straightaways. The circuit name honors the Italian champion Tazio Nuvolari, a skilled multidisciplinary racer who competed in motorcycle, sports cars, and single-seaters, obtaining 72 victories in several competitions. Cervesina is right at the southern bank of the river Po and features a continental climate with hot summers and cold, rainy winters.
The Tazio Nuvolari Circuito starts at the middle of its longest straight, where racers can get to velocities as high as 150 km/h (93 mph). The first turn is tight and wide to take, allowing racers to re-accelerate right from its exit point. Corner number two brings the first heavy braking sector of the track and leads to the even tighter turn number three. A fast-paced sweeper number four leads into the second braking sector in turn five, where speed comes down to 50 km/h (31 mph). This pattern repeats a third time before reaching the last corner, which takes drivers back into the front straight to go full throttle into the finish line.
