Misano circuit renamed in honor of Marco Simoncelli
Filed under: Motorsports, Europe, Motorcycle
The race track on Italy's Adriatic coast known to most as Misano World Circuit will adopt a new name in tribute to the late motorcycle racer Marco Simoncelli.
Although Misano isn't where Simoncelli lost his life - that tragedy unfolded at Sepang in Malaysia - he was known and loved as a local hero at the Italian track. That's why its owners have announced that it is being named Marco Simoncelli International Circuit in his honor.
It's a fitting tribute, and follows the recent decision of motorsport constructor Dallara to name its new IndyCar chassis DW12 in honor of the late Dan Wheldon.Misano circuit renamed in honor of Marco Simoncelli originally appeared on Autoblog on Mon, 07 Nov 2011 15:30:00 EST.
