The Fiorano Circuit is a private racetrack owned by Ferrari which is used for development and testing purposes. It is located in Fiorano Modenese, near the Italian town of Maranello.

Built in 1972, it is 8.4 m (27.6 ft) wide and 3021 m (1.9 mi) long. The average F1 lap speed is over 160 km/h (99 mph) and the F1 top speed is 290 km/h (180 mph). As Fiorano is a testing track, it has a wide range of corner types, with corner diameters between 370 m (1,214 ft) and 13.71 m (45 ft). Thus Ferrari is able to simulate corner and track types of other Grand Prix circuits.

The track is equipped with telemetry sensors and a large skidpad for tire testing. When Scuderia Ferrari are testing a F1 car at the track, it is common to see Tifosi watching the test from the roadside, which is the closest point from which the track is viewable to the public.

Ferrari customers are allowed to test drive new cars at the Fiorano circuit. The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano is named after this track.
