>>> En attendant Brno, avec le Technomag-CarXpert... <<< [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir cette image] Longueur: 5.403 m. / 3,357 miles
Largeur: 15m
Virages à gauche: 6
Virages à droite: 8
Ligne droite: 636 m. / 0,395 miles
Construction: 1987
Modifié: 1996
Remarque: piste assez abrasive avec un fort dénivelé (73 m) et pas de grande ligne droite.
En descente (T2), le train avant est très chargé (bon pour compenser les faiblesses des Ducati) mais c'est l"inverse en montée (T4).
La piste est large ce qui permet (et demande) une bonne vitesse de passage en courbe.
Malgré la montée (depuis le virage 10 jusqu'à l'arrivée), ce n'est donc pas ce que l'on appelle un "circuit de moteurs" et les Honda, sur le papier, n'y ont aucun avantage incontournable sur les Yamaha.

Round eleven of the 2013 MotoGP season the series to Europe with the Czech Republic’s stunning Brno circuit providing riders with technical corners and big elevation changes.
Measuring 5.4 kilometres in length, Brno is one of the longer circuits on the MotoGP calendar and has numerous straight sections joined together by a series of technical corners including four left-right corner combinations. The circuit also features an elevation difference between the highest and lowest part of the circuit of over 70 metres which make braking into the downhill sections challenging, thus requiring the front tyre to provide excellent stability. A high grip levels from the rear tyre is also important to ensure good drive onto the straight parts of the circuit. Adding to the technical complexity of this circuit for tyres is the abrasive tarmac which demands superior durability.
There are eight right-hand and six left-hand corners at this circuit and though asymmetric rear slicks are provided, the loads imposed across the left, centre and right of the rear tyre are similar. The rear slick tyre options for CRT riders at Brno are the soft and medium compounds, while the works riders get the medium and hard compound options. Bridgestone originally planned to introduce a new hard compound rear tyre at the Czech Republic Grand Prix, but after recent testing at the Brno circuit has decided to change supply. Another hard tyre specification which has a softer compound on left side with current hard compound on the right side will be supplied this weekend and this change was made in agreement with the Grand Prix commission at Indianapolis. Front slick options for the Czech Grand Prix are the soft and hard compounds and the main wet tyre is the soft compound option.
Hiroshi Yamada - Manager, Bridgestone Motorsport Department
“For good reason Brno is one of the favourite tracks on the calendar for MotoGP racers and fans as it is a wide circuit with a technical layout that has produced many thrilling races over the years. There is always a huge crowd in the Czech Republic for MotoGP races and this also adds to the allure of the event. Last year at this circuit we saw an amazing last-lap battle between Jorge and Dani and I expect both these riders to be very competitive this weekend as they continue their recovery from injury, and focus on closing the championship points gap to Marc who is riding extremely well at the moment.”
Shinji Aoki - Manager, Bridgestone Motorsport Tyre Development Department
“The Brno circuit was resurfaced in 2008 and since then has been quite abrasive on tyres, posing more of a challenge for tyre durability and requiring harder rubber compounds, particularly for the front tyre. The corners are generally fast and flowing so the lateral loads generated are high - particularly on the right shoulders - and the elevation changes also present a challenge for the front tyres, especially into the downhill corners where the weight transfer under braking places them under extreme loads. The medium speed corners require good shoulder stability from the rear tyres and good traction on corner exit. Finding a good setup at this circuit is important, as excessive sliding from the rear at this circuit can hurt lap times and also rapidly accelerates tyre wear given the abrasiveness of the tarmac.”
Dunlop Moto Riders Return to Europe With New Tyre For Brno
After the high temperatures, low grip and flat corners of the Indianapolis race circuit, Dunlop’s next circuit is almost a complete opposite. Brno has more grip than Indy and the many gradients will put the front tyre under more load than the last race. The rear will have to be strong to compensate for the high abrasion levels that can be experienced if cooler conditions arise - hot conditions would help with tyre life.
At Indianapolis, Esteve Rabat took his second win of the year, producing a very skillful and smooth ride to maximize his tyre performance on one of the most demanding circuits of the season for tyres. All options of tyres were used within both the Moto2 and Moto3 classes which substantiated the Dunlop tyre allocation decision.
Clinton Howe, Operations Manager Motorcycle Grand Prix
“Indianapolis was harder than expected for Dunlop this year, although saying that, we have to be happy at the times within the race. Some riders knew that using the softer rear spec would give them troubles towards the end but they managed to be quite consistent considering the nature of the track.
“In Brno this week we will introduce a new rear tyre that we tested earlier this year. We now know that since Mugello GP we have seen a significant amount of changes to the Moto2 machine set-ups. We believe that new components to the bikes and higher rear spring load have increased the stress levels to the rear tyres. Our technical department has been working hard to produce a tyre that will give the same level of consistency without taking away the grip the riders are used to. The new rear will be known as the 997 compound and will be partnered by the 3855. As usual we will bring the 302 and 345 compound fronts.
“The new rear tyre will take us into a new era of compounds for Moto2 and we hope we can continue to evolve with the Moto2 machinery as the year goes on so that we have a stronger baseline for the 2014 season.”
