After the race at Laguna Seca, the World Superbike Championship is back in Europe: from July 6 to 8, the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli will host the 9th Round of the Championship. Located a few miles from the Adriatic Sea on the road named for Daijiro Kato, the track is celebrating its 46th anniversary this year.<br /><br />Over the course of the years, the track has undergone numerous changes until it completed its current 2,625-mile configuration in 2008.<br /><br />In spite of the 16 corners, there are only eight braking sections because several changes in direction are made without using the brakes.<br /><br />The Italian track is one of the few in the Championship that doesn't reach decelerations of 1.4 G and 1.5 G. So, the risk of overheating the systems is low.<br /><br />According to Brembo technicians, who work closely with 16 World Superbike riders, the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli presents a medium level of difficulty on the brakes.<br /><br />On a scale of 1 to 5, it earned a 3 on the difficulty index, the same score given to the Laguna Seca and Portimão tracks.
