Misano lights up: the 2025 CIV Racing Night lights up the night.

The Italian Speed Championship experiences its most magical moment with the fourth round, taking place at the Misano World Circuit from Thursday 24th to Sunday 27th July 2025. The climax comes on Saturday 26th with the Bardahl Racing Night , the only night race on the CIV calendar: an emotion that repeats itself like a ritual for drivers and fans, amidst blazing headlights, red-hot engines, and the unique charm of the Romagna night; that same atmosphere that, in the four previous editions, has attracted nearly 20,000 spectators to the circuit bathed in light and adrenaline. It is the halfway point of the season , where those in front want to consolidate their lead, while those behind look for the shot that can turn everything around. It is the night of the CIV , in which even the track seems to breathe a different rhythm.

Alessandro Delbianco is dominating the Superbike championship : after a double win at Vallelunga and a solid weekend at Mugello, he leads the standings with authority and confidence, while Michele Pirro , the undisputed king of Racing Night, having won all four editions to date, arrives on the Riviera eager to turn the tables right under the floodlights. Tensions are high, but Delbianco is in control, Pirro attacks: a spectacle is guaranteed. In Production Bike, Davide Stirpe is hot on Riccardo Russo's heels, just six points behind: a wonderfully wide-open battle. In Supersport 600 NG, the heated battle between Xavi Artigas and Luca Ottaviani is making the grid more difficult to interpret, and over thirty riders are aiming to join the fray.

Racing Night, already consolidated as a CIV brand, comes into its own with the return of night races after the official presentation held in Misano during the SBK World Championship round: the poster designed by Aldo Drudi, the blue and yellow spotlights, the Bardahl branding, the conference with Copioli , Albani and the protagonists were a perfect prelude to what is to come. In 2024, there were almost 20,000 spectators : numbers that speak to the evocative power of this unique evening on the calendar.

It all started on Thursday 24th with the official procedures; Free practice and qualifying followed on Friday 25th (in Superbike, Alessandro Delbianco stopped the clock at 1'35”060, with an advantage of only 130 thousandths over Michele Pirro ). Saturday 26th will be night time: at 8.55pm the start of the Supersport 600 NG , then at 9.25pm Superbike and Production Bike on the track under the lights; live on Sky Sport MotoGP and on FedermotoTV for the FMI community. On Sunday, “daytime” races: SBK and PB at 1.50pm, SS600 at 2.40pm, then Sportbike, Moto3, Premoto3, CIV Femminile and Elite Cup. The paddock will be lively : pit-walk, grid show, air launch and Military Fitness, panoramic train, meet & greet with influencers (Muuso.exe, Lorenzo Biagetti), DJ set and final party in the Square after the podiums. Without forgetting the activities for children and families and Vintage enthusiasts with "Due Tempi Bei Tempi" in the paddock. Everything is ready for a weekend to experience on and off the track.

When darkness falls, the spotlight turns on drama and glory: Delbianco wants to seal the season, Pirro dreams of a poker of victories. In Production Bike, Russo wants to defend his lead, Stirpe chases the lead. Artigas and Ottaviani share the Supersport: watch out also for Rato, Patacca, Pusceddu, and Mantovani. And then the Women's CIV , which returns with races on Saturday afternoon and Sunday, coinciding with the European Women's Championship, with wildcards and redemptions on the track. It's a kaleidoscope of emotions: tension on the grids, the colors of the night , music , families, roaring engines . This is what makes Racing Night unique, an event capable of transforming the Adriatic Riviera into a temple of speed and dreams. In short, everything is ready to go. The air vibrates with adrenaline and the crowd . It's the only moment when speed is mirrored in the night, where every curve is a challenge and every overtaking a flash .
