Dromo has supported Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello on circuit safety and upgrade studies since 2010. The work is centred on evidence: track geometry, vehicle trajectories and incident data are used to understand where changes can reduce risk while preserving a circuit whose elevation, speed and narrow visual corridor form a large part of its identity.

Risk assessment based on real trajectories
For the motorcycle safety changes reported ahead of the 2015 season, Dromo used risk-analysis software together with the previous year’s accident information to identify intervention areas. The resulting programme included additional run-off and asphalt-verge work. This approach prioritises the locations and mechanisms of risk rather than applying the same generic detail to every corner.
Preserving an old-school circuit character
Mugello’s challenge is to improve protection without flattening the experience drivers and riders value. Run-off depth, barrier position, track edge, visibility and recovery access have to respond to both the topography and the categories using the venue. A change that is appropriate for one trajectory or vehicle type may not be sufficient for another.
Long-term technical support
Ongoing circuit support creates a measured baseline for later decisions. Surveys, simulations, homologation requirements and operational feedback can be compared over time, allowing upgrades to be targeted and phased around the circuit calendar instead of being treated as isolated construction projects.
