Cremona

Here’s the lowdown on Cremona Circuit (Circuito Angelo Bergamonti) from a motorcycle trackday perspective:


🏁 Circuit Overview

  • Length & Layout: The current anti-clockwise GP layout is 3.768 km (2.342 mi) with 13 turns—including a flowing back straight (~900 m) and a corkscrew-style San Martino chicane

  • Width & Surface: The track spans 12–14 m with smooth, high-grip asphalt—recently resurfaced and upgraded for its FIM Grade B status ahead of its 2024 WorldSBK debut

  • Speed Potential: Superbikes crest over 300 km/h on the back straight; heavy braking zones—most notably Turn 11—offer strong technical challenge


🏍️ Riding Experience

  • Flowing Mid-Speed Rhythm: Think Oschersleben-style flow with a mix of mid-to-fast corners, a long straight, and a gripping corkscrew sector

  • Technical Braking Workouts: Heavy deceleration into several corners—particularly at San Martino section—tests brake control and trail braking

  • Physical Yet Forgiving: Gentle elevation changes accent the layout. Generous runoff gives rider confidence to explore the limit .


🧰 Trackday Organisation & Facilities

  • Open Pitlane & Dedicated Bike Days: Regular Moto Free Practice (“Prove Libere Moto”) events—morning/afternoon half-days or full days, with session groups by ability

  • Structured Sessions: Typically 6×20 min blocks—grouped Beginners to Fast—with transponder timing, photo & tyre-change services

  • Paddock Services: Modern pit garages, live timing screens, café, bar, and support; gas station nearby (3 min away)

  • Noise Limits & Regulation: Bring a dB-killer—static limit 102 dB, though enforcement is relaxed

  • Insurance & Booking: FMI or club insurance recommended. Pit boxes (~€50–300) and optional booking with recovery insurance available


😊 Rider Feedback

  • Grip & Flow: “Amazing grip… easy on tires” despite high-speed straights; corkscrew is a highlight

  • Facilities: Riders flag up excellent infrastructure—garages, timing, parking—but note the lack of an on-circuit fuel station .

  • Noise Tolerance: Though limit is 102 dB, some louder bikes seem tolerated—but always best to comply .


👍 Pros & ⚠️ Cons

✅ Pros ⚠️ Cons
Smooth, grippy, modern surface No fuel station on track
Long straight + technical chicane Anti-clockwise direction might need adaptation for some
Excellent pit facilities & timing Noise compliance still essential
Safety-focused runoff and layout A bit remote—nearest services off-site

🎯 Rider Tips

  1. Noise Prep: Bring and test a dB-killer—static 102 dB is enforced.

  2. Heat Tire Gradually: Use first session for warm-up before pushing on the corkscrew and high-speed exit.

  3. Book Bikes Early: Pit boxes and bike-specific days fill quickly—especially in spring/summer.

  4. Bring Fuel: Stock up before or after sessions (nearest petrol ~3 min away).

  5. Group Selection: Beginners enjoy guided blocks; faster riders benefit from MES/Fast or track manufacturer days.

  6. Insurance Awareness: Use the paid recovery/insurance option for peace of mind.


✅ Summary

Cremona delivers a top-tier, modern trackday experience in Italy—fast-flowing mid-speed corners, a long straight, and a standout corkscrew chicane. WorldSBK-ready surface and infrastructure, excellent facilities, and structured rider sessions make it a superb venue for skill development and enjoyment. A perfect choice for riders seeking quality and pace away from the major GP calendars.
