Fiorano Circuit, Private racing test track in Fiorano Modenese, Italy.
Fiorano Circuit is a private racing test track in Fiorano Modenese, Italy, stretching just under 3 kilometers (1.9 miles). The facility features fourteen turns and a chicane section that evaluates vehicles under different conditions.
Ferrari opened the test track in 1972 to develop Formula 1 cars in a controlled environment. Over the decades, many drivers trained here before competing on international racing circuits.
The name comes from the nearby village of Fiorano Modenese, which has been tied to the region's car industry for generations. Visitors can often hear engine noise from a distance when prototypes are being tested on the track.
The facility is not open to the public, but test runs can sometimes be observed from nearby roads. A museum in the area offers exhibits about the history of the track and its role in vehicle development.
Several production models carry the name of this track, including the 599 GTB Fiorano and special equipment packages for newer sports cars. This naming choice honors the decades of development work that took place here.
