Mugello has made a series of changes to help improve safety at the fast Italian MotoGP v꧅enue.

Most work has been done at the final corner of the Ferrari-owned cꦍircuit, Bucine, where the run-off has been 'reshaped and completed overhauled' for better emergency braking (see below).

New asphalt verges and modified run-offs have also been added at Turn 1 (San Donato), Turn 2 (Luco), Turn 4 (Materassi), Turn 6 (Casanova), Turn 7 (Savelli), Turn 8 (Arrabbiata 1), Turn 10 (Scarperia) and Turn 12 (Correntaio).

"Works on Bucine are for us an achieved target," decla🍸red FIM Safety Inspector Franco Uncini. "MotoGP promo🍸ted this modification. Similar interventions on other run offs represents the right direction to improve rider safety. Mugello, thanks to its management, has always anticipated the time in terms of safety levels, representing a reference and an example to be followed by many other circuits."

Jarno Zaffelli from Dromo Circuit Design explained that risk software had been used ▨to identify the changes, inclu♊ding analysis of last year's accidents.

"The modifications are the result of our DroCAS risk analysis and safety design software," he said. "It takes into consideration the requirements of racing cars and bikes requirements as well as the needs of everyday users. After the analysis of thousands of crashes worldwide, this Dekra's certified system allows us to predict racing inciden⛦ts and probable dynamics, he🥂lping to dimension and design interventions to minimise crash consequences."

Saturday morning at the 20🃏14 Italian MotoGP saw Ducati's Andrea Iannone set a new o𓆏fficial MotoGP top speed record of 349.6km/h (217.2mph).
