Case Study: Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli achieves millimeter-accurate, 4-day track resurfacing with Trimble PCS900

Trimble’s Milling Technology On The Racetrack

Trimble’s paving technology was used to modernize the Misano World Circuit, a high‑profile motorcycle racetrack that required rapid reconstruction with millimeter precision, strict cost control and minimal disruption. The circuit redesign involved reversing direction, lengthening and widening the track, removing a chicane and adding new stands and layouts, and the contractor Pesaresi Giuseppe SpA (with SITECH Italia as Trimble partner) needed a solution that could meet tight tolerances and a fast schedule.

Using the Trimble PCS900 3D milling control, supported by SPS930 robotic total stations and a UXS drone survey, the team performed variable‑depth, millimeter‑accurate milling with Hot Swap station changes to avoid stops. The approach reduced material removal, fuel use and truck movements, and allowed rapid resurfacing of the circuit while meeting technical specs and deadlines—resulting in five usable track configurations, improved spectator sightlines and a modernized venue for top motorsport events.
