The Rettifilio Tribune is the long start-straight leads to the Variante Goodyear (also known as Variante del Rettifilio). This is approached in top gear at around 215 mph and it is marked by the wide pit straight that precedes it. It is a very fast but bumpy left-right-left-right 2nd-gear chicane that's entered in 2nd at 60 mph and exited at 80 mph. Almost immediately after is Curva Grande, which is a very bumpy, longish right-hander that is hard work on the steering. Drivers invariably use the kerb at its exit at 185 mph and then it's along the back straight where 200 mph is touched.
The Variante della Roggia is also known as 2A Variante. The braking area prior to entering this left-right chicane is both bumpy and slippy. Approached in top gear, it is negotiated in 2nd at 60 mph and exited in 3rd at 85 mph. Curva di Lesmo is a contentious sharp right-hander. Invariably taken fast, shifting between 4th and 3rd gears, with speeds ranging between 150 mph and 95 mph. Coming out of the turn, the cars rocket down Curve del Serraglio, a long straight that means the driver approaches the next chicane at speeds approaching, and sometimes exceeding, 200 mph.
