style: A long track, very fast corners (and few of them), and lots of 3-wide track combine to create a true high-speed circuit. Although the longest straight is a modest 18 spaces, no other track has 3 straights of 15 spaces or more. Since all but 2 corners are 120mph corners many of those straights seem like fewer, longer straights. The track starts with the long front straight that ends in the slowest corner on the track, and a chicane to boot. Another long straight ends in another chicane, only slightly faster then the first. Two shorter straights link two short, fast corners before starting the back straight which is essentially interupted by a long but fast chicane before continuing down to ultra-fast Curva Parabolica and back to the front straight.
notes: Corner design is pretty basic on this track although the Variante Ascari is a bit of a Frankenstein monster: the first part of the corner has a 120 speed limit both inside and outside of the corner, the next part of the corner is 1 space wide in both lanes, and the third part of the corner continues at 120 inside but allows 140 outside. This is a hard corner to get through in a single move. The final Curva Parabolica is essentially an increasing radius corner, but since the part where the speed limits increase line up, its possible to jockey lanes at that point. This track also has a couple of places where straights narrow from 3-wide to 2-wide in the middle of a long straight.
