Mugello MotoGP

Mugello began its life way back in 1914 as a road circuit and not as a motorcycle track. In the early days many drivers would compete against each other on this rather gruelling 66km track.

From the beginning right up to approximately the late sixties many cars have raced this circuit, but for the motorcycles to be able to race safely, in approximately 1974 the new mugello was born. It was designed with many requirements in mind, not least, the safety aspect, with the facilities and the technology involved, the circuit serves to suit both bike and car racing alike. Even as far as the Formula 1 racing drivers and the motogp riders like to use the circuit for testing their machines in the closed season.

It was when the newly updated circuit was finally ready that the Formula 5000 race took place. The Mugello circuit is the only circuit in Italy to have hosted the ITC, although not only has it hosted the Formula 5000, but also the Formula 3000, and the Formula 2.
With regards to the Motogp, Mugello circuit is an excitingly fast track, with incredible curves and straights, with no less than 15 turns to keep the riders occupied.
