Fiorano Circuit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fiorano Circuit is the private track owned by Ferrari for development and testing purposes. It is located near the Italian town of Maranello.
Built in 1972, it's 8.4 meters wide and 3,021 long. Average F1 lap speed is over 160 Km/h and top speed is 290 Km/h. Because it's a testing track, it has many different kinds of turns and corners, with corner diameters between 13 and 0.3 meters. All in all it has a lot of similarities with most European GP circuits.
It's equipped with telemetry and a large steering pad for tyre testing.
When Scuderia Ferrari are testing the F1 car at the track it's common to see Tifosi watching the test from the roadside; which is the closest point at which the track is viewable to the public.
It's also used to allow Ferrari customers to test drive new cars.
The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano is named after this track.
