As reported by stv21 on TeamAspar.net during the upcoming last round of the European Championship, held at the Albacete Circuit on November 1st, there will be a special ceremony to reveal the newly named curves 11 and 12. The two curves are part of one chicane and will be named after Alvaro Bautista and Julian Simon, in tribute to the two world champions from Castilla La Mancha and the impact they have on the sport for the region.
Invited guests to the event included former world champions and racing legends like Angel Nieto, Jorge Martinez, Manuel “Champi” Herreros, Emilio Alzamora, Carlos Cardús, Julián Miralles and of course the two honoured champions themselves.
I'm guessing that the curve name will be relating to the words Alvaro and/or Bautista rather than the more fun "Bati" or "Baster" options, but hey - brilliant - a genuine honour :-)
Congrats Alvaro, congrats Julian.
