A lap at Pescara
We start our lap at the main straight where the start/finish line was painted
again (revival?)!
After 1,3 km (0.8 mile) we
see the first corner.
After the
first corner a short straight with at the end a railroad bridge.
Immediately
after the railroad bridge we go left.
Shall we
pass left or right? The huge building on the left side is the Pescara
Railway Station.
We turn
right to Villa Raspa.
After 1,6
km (1 mile) almost straight we turn right at Villa Raspa into
the direction of Spoltore.
Just a few
buildings and than we go into the hills ...
At this
glowing part of the track are a lot of sweeping kinks. In front a bridge over
the SS16 motorway.
After a
series of fast kinks we're reaching a beautiful complex of medium fast left and
right hand corners ...
A few
kilometres further we're reaching the town Spoltore, with his 185
metres above sea level the highest point of the track!
In front of
the church we turn right.
And here we
leave Spoltore.
Again
fast sweeping corners. The straight in front goes exactly over a
tunnel from the
Autostrada A14.
Here starts the most
beautiful part of the circuit with lots of elevations!
This picture has been taken from opposite direction and gives a
good idea of the elevations at this part of the track!
At the end the
hairpin is waiting ...
Just before
the hairpin a monument remembers to the good old times!
The
picture above shows the turn after the hairpin from opposite
direction and has been taken from a jump where the cars should have
airborne!
This picture has been taken from the same spot as the previous one, but
now into the driving direction.
And here
we're arrived into the nice Italian village Cappelle! The picture
above has been taken from a higher parking and looks against the
driving direction.
The
picture above shows the beautiful main street from opposite
direction.
The first
one of two hairpins.
Here we're
leaving Cappelle, in front of us a series of very fast kinks ...
Here the
last one from a series of very fast kinks leading to the 6 km (4
mile) long straight. Unfortunately there's a roundabout after this
corner now!
And here we
cross the A14 Motorway again.
On this
straight was the so called "Flying Kilometre"!
After the
4 mile straight we have to brake very hard at Montesilvano ...
And than
accelerate again at the next long straight!
After a 4
km (2.5 mile) straight, we have to brake for a sort of chicane
between the house blocks to reduce the speed at start/finish!
And than we're back at the point we started!
