Pescara Circuit

The Pescara Circuit was a 16.032 miles (25.8 km) road race course near Pescara, Italy. The staggering length was the longest of any open-wheel championship event. The roads were both narrow and bumpy. Like many long circuits (such as the original Nürburgring and Spa-Francorchamps circuits) Pescara was extremely dangerous. It was the first F1 circuit with an artificial chicane, built in 1934 on the start-finish straight to reduce speed in the pits.
