WSBK classic corner: Acque Minerali

First up we took a look at Phillip Island's Turn 12, and now we move into Italy and the famous Acque Minerali corner at Imola

Nestled in the Parco Acque Minerali, the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari circuit is close to the northern Italian town of Imola and boasts one of the most challenging corners of any circuit in the world.

Named after the park in which the circuit sits, Acque Minerali starts with a 225km/h left-handed crest followed by a downhill approach into two dramatic right-handers, before a contrasting ascent that requires a challenging change of direction.

Honda World Superbike Team rider Jonathan Rea describes the optimum way to take Acque Minerali against an historical and contextual backdrop painted by Eurosport's Jack Burnicle and Carlo Fiorani from Honda Motor Europe.
