The Cremona Circuit is a 2.14-mile (3.87-km) race track located near the geographic center of northern Italy, in San Martino del Lago, a small village an hour and a half ride away from Milano. There are 13 turns in the circuit, six right-handers and seven left-handers, with varying angles inclinations. Unlike most road courses today, races at the Cremona Circuit start/finish on the short front straight and not in the 900 meters (2952 feet) back straight, the longest in the raceway. The climate in Cremona has cold, cloudy winter and hot, sunny summers, with a significant rainfall even in the driest months. 

The track surface of the Cremona Circuit is immaculate in all its trajectory, with ample runoff areas at both sides to provide the highest security standards for racing. The average speed of the circuit is 76 mph (122 km/h), with high-performance single-seaters reaching a breathtaking top speed of 167 mph (270 km/h) in the longest straight. The road course runs counterclockwise over relatively flat terrain, with the sharp angles of its corners adding a challenging edge to racing at Cremona Circuit. The landscaping around the track leverages the open spaces available at the circuit's location to present a stunning venue compatible with high-profile racing competitions.
