Record participation at the Trofeo delle Industrie. Over 330 drivers in Lonato!

There are just a few days left to secure the final remaining places; the deadline for entries is 6 November.

The 54th edition is scheduled to take place from 12 to 15 November at South Garda Karting.

The 54th Trofeo delle Industrie has seen a record number of entries, with over 330 drivers registered for the major international event organised in Lonato by Parma Motorsport, which has been chronicling the history of karting since 1971.

The event, featuring the KZ2, OK-N, OK-NJ, MINI Gr.3 and MINI Gr.3 U10, is scheduled to take place from 12 to 15 November at the South Garda Karting track in Lonato, the venue where the Trofeo delle Industrie has been held since 2012, following its early years at the ‘Mondial Pista’ in Parma, thanks to the inspired vision and organisational skills of its long-standing founder, Umberto Pellegrini.

It is the oldest karting race in the world; Andrea Kimi Antonelli was among the leading contenders in 2016.

The greatest drivers in motorsport have taken their turn on the roll of honour of this historic and prestigious event, the world’s oldest karting race and still today a key fixture on the international karting calendar. A victory in the Trofeo delle Industrie is tantamount to achieving one of the most prestigious goals in the world.

This was certainly the case for Beppe Gabbiani, Eddy Cheever, Riccardo Patrese, Elio De Angelis, Teo Fabi, Andrea De Cesaris, Paolo Barilla, Emanuele Pirro, Roberto Ravaglia, Gianni Morbidelli, Ivan Capelli, Gabriele Tarquini, Stefano Modena, Antonio Tamburini, Mike Wilson, Giancarlo Fisichella, Jarno Trulli, Gianluca Beggio, Alex Zanardi, Vincenzo Sospiri, Tamara Vidali, Massimiliano Papis, Luca Drudi, Fabrizio Giovanardi, Enrico Bertaggia, Andrea Montermini, Luca Rangoni, Gabriele Lancieri, Tonio Liuzzi, Giorgio Pantano, Stefano Fabi, Gabriel Bortoleto, and many other great figures from the world of motor racing, right up to F1 champions such as Fernando Alonso, Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg, and finally the newly crowned F1 world champion Andrea Kimi Antonelli, on the podium in the 2016 Mini category.
