GT World Challenge at Misano World Circuit 17-18-19 May
Passion for a sport arises from random encounters. Sometimes, you breathe it at home; sometimes, you simpy hear the rumble of an engine, adrenaline arises, and you get overwhelmed by emotions!
Four-star hotel Atlantic Riviera is located close to the Misano World Circuit "Marco Simoncelli": it doesn't even take 5 minutes by car and 10 by bike. Guess how little it takes with a motorbike!
However, our passion for motors goes beyond our proximity to the MWC. Of course, the rumble carried by the wind during international and world races has had its impact, but ours is a shared and passed down family passion!
Due to our passion, we became partners and stokholders of the then so-called Santa Monica racetrack (in Italian: "Autodromo Santa Monica") way back in 1989. This name lasted from 1972, year of its first worldwide motorcycling competition, to 2006. In 2012, the circuit was named after the champion Marco Simoncelli.
Concretely, what does it mean to be a partner and to collaborate with the Misano Adriatico circuit? It means that you can share your passion for motors and develop it in different ways here with us!
For instance…
Having a partnership with the Misano Wolrd Circuit means:
In the 90s, Misano’s circuit grew in fame and numbers thanks to investitors who, like us, are first and foremost passionate about motors. During these last decades, a lot of satisfactions, emotions, and friendships bound to the racetrack took place here at the Atlantic Riviera Hotel!
Emotions and memories proudly displayed in a collection of pictures and autographs of many champions here in our hotel! Champions who have been guests and admired sportsmen first, and who have then become friends to support and to root for over the time!
The best AUDI pilots, or charming Gabriel Garko, testimonial for Ducati: these are just some of the people known in the world of motorsports and whom we had the honor to host and spoil.
A place of honor surely goes to Kevin Schwantz, the American motorbike pilot who won the GP in the category 50 cc on board of his Suzuki in Misano in 1993.
Courtesy, congeniality, willingness to shake hands, to give interviews and autographs to anybody who asked for, and great humanity made Kevin a real myth of motorcycling over the time, together with his gift of being an aggressive and funambulist rider. Due to his great friendship with Marco Simoncelli, Kevin Schwantz has often come back to Misano and to Atlantic Riviera, giving us the pleasure to call ourselves friends, other than fans!
Moreover:
Lastly, the MWC Square, a big meeting place for sport and cultural events, for presentations, to go shopping for technical equipment, to have an aperitif, or to rent an e-bike for a tour of the circuit.
