Paolo Simoncelli would like a minute of 'casino' at Valencia

Casino’ is an Italian slang word that can mean racket, mess or make some noise, and this is what Paolo Simoncelli would like instead of the de rigueur minute of silence for his son Marco, at the upcoming Valencia GP.

Simoncelli Sr.
is simply requesting what many motorcycle groups do when a member passes away, to hear the howling sounds of dozens of revving bikes and in this case it would be to hear all the MotoGP, Moto2 and 125cc bikes, all revving together at the Spanish track.

Regarding the idea of naming Misano World Circuit after his son, Paolo Simoncelli said, “It would be an immense gift, even if he liked that track less then others, but it would be a marvelous tribute and if they do it, I’d be willing to put in a museum and donate Marco’s leathers and things so fans can pay tribute to him.
