The clockwise configuration at Autodromo di Modena flows through 2.0 kilometers of constant 12-meter width asphalt featuring 11 curves across Italy's Motor Valley facility founded in 2011 near Modena in Emilia-Romagna. Running clockwise emphasizes the circuit's high-adrenaline bends, fast straight stretches, and elevation ups-and-downs that make the layout particularly interesting for both cars and motorcycles. The 2014 addition of a chicane to the final corner tightened the turning radius and added runoff area, fundamentally changing the circuit's character by interrupting the flow into the start/finish straight where the single straightaway segment houses the timing line.

Operating clockwise at Autodromo di Modena showcases the circuit's location in the heart of Italy's automotive manufacturing region, where proximity to Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, and Pagani facilities creates constant manufacturer testing activity alongside customer track days and driving experiences. The 11-turn layout proves particularly versatile with Turn 5 removable to convert the circuit into two straight sections by joining Turn 4 with Turn 6. Northern Italy's Po Valley climate creates distinct seasonal conditions with hot humid summers pushing track temperatures above 50C and cool wet winters limiting operations primarily to March-November season. The clockwise direction has established itself as the standard flow since the 2011 opening, with the circuit serving as a popular venue for exotic car experiences where customers drive Ferraris and Lamborghinis on the same asphalt used for manufacturer development programs.
