PISTA AZZURRA
The Pista Azzurra was established in Borgo Ticino in 1962, during the early days of karting in Italy, and quickly became a breeding ground for great drivers.
Among the many racing legends who sped across the asphalt of the Pista Azzurra, we remember: Angelo Broggini, Italian champion of the 200 cc twin-engine class in 1963; Susanna Raganelli, Italian champion of the 100 Super class in 1965; Piero Necchi, Italian champion of the 100 cc – 1st category class in 1970; and the late Formula One driver Ronnie Peterson.
Over the years, the facility has hosted numerous karting competitions, including an Italian championship in the 135 cc class. It has also been frequently used by many engine and chassis manufacturers for the development and testing of their vehicles.
In the summer of 2004, the track was completely renovated to comply with the new safety regulations imposed by international organizations.
