The Mugello race track runs 5.245 km through forests and open country, with 15 turns and a long
straight (total of turns and straight are almost equal), and the higher
areas along the track allow for excellent viewing. Grand Prix motorcycle racing host an annual event here
(MotoGP and smaller classes). The track is used by Formula One (mainly Scuderia Ferrari) for
testing. Its long straight, its chicane and its ups and downs make it particularly suitable for all kind of technical testing, especially for engines and aerodynamics.
