history

Route until 2007

The Misano circuit was planned in 1969, opened in 1972 and operated entirely privately. Initially, the length of the runway was 3.488 km, there was only a very small pit system and few track safety vehicles.

In 1993 the route was then extended to 4.060 km, and a new pit building with a 600 m² media center was built. In 1996 and 1997 the pit facilities were enlarged again, and a permanent stand was built later.

From autumn 2006 to spring 2007 the route was rebuilt and completely revised. Above all, by reversing the direction of travel (in future clockwise ), the run-off zones could be expanded and route safety increased in order to meet the requirements of the MotoGP class.

After the death of the motorcycle racer Marco Simoncelli in Sepang in 2011 , who came from Cattolica near Misano Adriatico, the track was originally to be renamed the Marco Simoncelli Circuit . Ultimately, the course was renamed Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli .
