From May 06 2011 to May 08 2011, Italy
The fourth round of the Superbike World Championship and the second round of the Superstock 1000 FMI Cup will take place over the weekend of May 6-7-8 at the historical Autodromo Nazionale di Monza, Italy. On this track drivers are on full throttle for most of the lap due to its long straights and fast corners. The first track was built in 1922.
There was major rebuilding in 1938–39, constructing new stands and entrances and the resulting layout gave a Grand Prix lap of 6.300 kilometers. In 1954, work began to entirely revamp the circuit, resulting in a 5.750 kilometers course, and a new 4.250 kilometers high-speed oval with banked “sopraelevata” curves. Both car and motorcycle racing were regular attractions at Monza from 1966 when two chicane – Prima Variante and the “Ascari” - were added to reduce racing speeds. This resulted in a new circuit length of 5.755 kilometers.
With technology still increasing vehicle speeds, the track was modified again in 1979. Further safety work was undertaken through the 1980s. At the 2010 Monza Superbike World Championship round, Italian rider Max Biaggi set the fastest ever motorcycle lap of Monza when he rode his Aprilia RSV4 1000 F to pole position in a time of 1’42”121.
