The Mugello circuit will
present itself in a different and very special look for
the upcoming Italian Grand Prix round of the Moto GP
World Championship: not only because of the new
grandstands and the complete resurfacing of the track
itself, but mainly due to the kerbs’ new colours.
“After 20 years with the
traditional colours of the Mugello track in red and
yellow – the official colours of Ferrari, the owner of
the track – we decided to pay a tribute to our nation
during this significant year,” said Paolo Poli, CEO at
the Mugello circuit. So for the 150 years of Italian
unity the kerbs in Mugello will sport the colours of the
Italian flag for the Grand Prix on 3 July: white, red
and green.
“A big, tricoloured hug will welcome drivers and
spectators to this amazing motorsport event,” Poli
continued. “As the traditional track of the Italian Moto
GP and organisers of a motorsport event with
international visibility, we feel the responsibility to
present our country to the world. The kerbs’ new colours
are an homage to this fundamental date for our national
identity.”
