Dumb question...
What does "corse" refer to?
Wikipedia has it referring to Corsica, the island, but I know Duc's are from Bologna in the middle of Italy.
Just curious, don't want to sound stupid if someone asks about it looking at my company logo dud's

Racing
According to this on-line Italian to English dictionary corse translates to racing.
So, it actually makes sense Ducati Corse = Ducati Racing.
There are no dumb questions only dumb answers. I had the same question a while a go and looked it up. Search engines are amazing tools. I Googled "italian to english" went to one of the responses and got the answer.

Ducati Corse is Ducati's racing division with all the super trick, unobtanium parts and motors!

"corse-uh" is my best guess. i think there are some people on here that are pretty fluent in Italian, though...hopefully they'll pipe up.
