Question 1

How do I get from Rimini to Misano World Circuit?

Accepted Answer

By shuttle: race weekend buses run from Rimini station and Riccione station every 20–30 minutes from 8am — the easiest option. By car: SS16 south from Rimini to Misano Adriatico, 12 km, 15 minutes (allow extra time on Sunday). By taxi: €20–25 from Rimini centre.

Question 2

What is the weather like at Misano MotoGP in September?

Accepted Answer

Excellent — September on the Adriatic Riviera is warm (24–29°C), sunny, and less humid than August. The sea is at peak temperature (24–26°C) — swimming after sessions is entirely practical. Rain is possible but uncommon. One of the most pleasant climatic settings on the entire MotoGP calendar.

Question 3

Can I visit the Republic of San Marino during race weekend?

Accepted Answer

Yes — San Marino is 25 km inland, 30 minutes by car. The medieval fortress town on Monte Titano has extraordinary views and a well-preserved old town. Visit Thursday before the race or Monday after. Duty-free shopping is a bonus. The race is named after San Marino but the circuit is actually in Italy (Misano Adriatico).

Question 4

Who was Marco Simoncelli and why is the circuit named after him?

Accepted Answer

Marco Simoncelli was an Italian MotoGP rider from nearby Cattolica — the 2008 250cc World Champion and one of the most charismatic and talented riders of his generation. He was killed in a racing accident at Sepang, Malaysia in October 2011 at age 24. The circuit was renamed in his honour in 2012. He is mourned and celebrated by Italian fans to this day.

Question 5

Which airport is best for Misano MotoGP?

Accepted Answer

Bologna (BLQ) is the main international hub — 110 km northwest, 70 minutes by hire car or train to Rimini. Rimini Federico Fellini Airport (RMI) is just 15 km away with seasonal connections from UK, Germany, and Northern Europe — check availability for September dates. Hire a car from either airport.
