If you ask me, “Alessio, what are the best karting tracks in Italy?”, I’ve got my shortlist ready for you.
There are lots of tracks in Italy, all pretty nice to drive, but only some stand out.
I’ve been driving at these circuits since I was a kid (except Franciacorta & Cremona since they were built quite recently), and I believe they’re the real deal.
Each one has its own flow, challenges, and tricky sections.
The Best Karting Tracks
Let’s start with the king of all tracks: Lonato, also known as South Garda Karting.
It’s hands down the most famous and busiest kart track in Italy. Not necessarily the best, though.
I live just 20 minutes away, and I’ve been lapping here since I was six years old. Probably few people drove there as much as I did😉
- Why it’s special: It has hosted countless races — from the Winter Cup to European and World Championships. The layout is quite twisty and technical, and the atmosphere is just pure racing.
- Track length: Around 1,250 meters.
- Pro tip: If you’re serious about karting, you’ll end up here sooner or later. So you might as well master it early!
Circuito Internazionale Napoli (Sarno)
Next up is Sarno, located near Naples, “Pizza heaven”.
It’s known for its crazy fast layout.
A lot of full throttle here (about 75% or so), so being in the slipstream and having a good engine setup for the top range really matters.
They keep resurfacing the track, and it’s still pretty bumpy. Not the smoothest drive out there. Watch out to your ribs.
- Why it’s special: It’s hosted World Championships and has a long 1.6 km layout. Tons of WSK and CIK FIA events happen here.
- Still: If you want to go flat out at high speeds and feel like you’re flying, this is your place.
Kartodromo di Viterbo
Viterbo is one of the newer and more technical tracks I really enjoy.
It’s twisty, flat (not bumpy), and has some nice elevation changes with small banking that are sooo cool to drive!
- Why it’s special: It’s a great driver’s track with interesting lines. Forces you to be precise, and rewards good consistency.
- Layout: Around 1,250 meters or so with plenty of corners.
- Bonus: Not too bumpy, and you can use the track a lot on exits.
Cremona Circuit
Cremona is another hidden gem, just 30 minutes from Lonato. The surface here is one of the best, super smooth, and the kerbs feel very nice to use.
- Why it’s special: It’s hosted European and World-level events and offers a great mix of speed and technical sections. Last sector’s really cool.
- Vibe: More lowkey than Lonato but just as rewarding for proper testing and race prep.
Franciacorta Karting Track
This track has been getting more and more attention recently. Located in the Brescia area, it’s about 30 minutes from Lonato and is quickly becoming a favorite.
Last year in 2025 it hosted the KZ World Championship.
It’s long, super fast, and really smooth. It’s actually comparable to Sarno in terms of speed but less bumpy and a bit more modern.
- Good for: Chassis testing and developing high-speed driving skills here.
La Conca (Honorable Mention)
La Conca used to be one of the best. Sadly, they’ve removed the “jump” from the legendary “Senna chicane” this year that made it so iconic, so it’s not quite what it used to be.
Still, it has some history of legendary races, and the surrounding area of Salento is lovely.
Final Thoughts
If you’re coming to race in Italy, you’ll find yourself racing in these tracks sooner or later.
So better start mastering them sooner😉
