The Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, or Misano Circuit Sic 58, is located in the Rimini province of Italy and was designed in 1969 before opening in 1972. Since 2007 it's been a fixture on the MotoGP calendar, with local hero and seven-time World Champion, motorcycle racing legend Valentino Rossi, a multiple winner on home soil.

For Formula E's visit, the circuit will run to 3.381km with 14 turns and clockwise, infield at Turns 1, 2, 3 and 4 before returning to the GP layout down towards what will be Turn 5 and the Turn 7 hairpin. A high-speed straight follows into a sharp left-right at Turns 8 and 9 before another fast sprint around the complex at the back of the circuit before hooking back through Turn 14 onto the home straight.

The paddock area, featuring the garages where teams and drivers prepare the GEN3 race cars and plan racing strategy, will be located in the circuit's purpose-built paddock and pit-lane.

It's a rapid, flowing track with plenty of overtaking opportunities and room for manoeuvres. 

Make sure you secure your seat for the two-race weekend on 13 & 14 April.
