5th July 2009 - The next MotoGP Grand Prix will be held in Laguna Seca, United States, for the eight step of the championship. Following the 2008 victory, Valentino Rossi will try to strenghten his lead in the general standings.
The American track, which is 3.602 metres long, has a very peculiar configuration, not found in any other tracks of the championship. With a series of fast corners and short straights, the circuit is also characterized by frequent downhill braking zones.
Braking is particularly harsh on the corkscrew bend, a spectacular combination of turns.
Starting from 10 days before every race journalists will be able to discover all the characteristics of the upcoming track thanks to our circuit identity cards. The same data will be available for F1 fans the night before every race (10 p.m.). |
