The third round of the 2026 International GT Open is going to be a special one: for the first time in 21 editions, the series will visit Misano, a track appreciated alike by motorbike and car racers, and offering a particularly pleasant environment, as it is located on the Adriatic Riviera, between Misano Adriatico and Santa Monica. Built in 1972, upgraded several times since then, and renamed Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli to commemorate the late MotoGP star, it has a 4.064-km very technical layout which originally was counter-clockwise.
Misano becomes the 22nd different track to be included in the calendar of the GT Open since its inception, and there is, of course, a lot of expectation in the GT Open community to discover the novelty and enjoy local attractions, which include Rimini’s famous beach, San Marino (the tiny Republic on a mountain overlooking the coast) and Romagna’s cuisine.
