karting Torraca

In the heart of the Cilento National Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), in Torraca in the province of Salerno in the Cilento, the Karting Torraca runs an outdoor track in southern Cilento. The site sits in a natural setting typical of the southern Cilento: ancient olive groves, the first Apennine heights, steep valleys and views over the Gulf of Policastro. It is used by Cilento locals for outings with friends and by Cilento UNESCO-coast holiday-makers looking for a motorsport break between park hikes and beach days.

The outdoor track suits adult and experienced drivers, in the picturesque setting of the Cilento. Several engine sizes are available, with higher-powered karts for regulars used to timed sessions. Conditions follow the Cilento Mediterranean climate: a fast, dry track most of the year. The site hosts enthusiast sessions, motorsport-focused stag and hen groups, corporate events and club days from the Salerno and Cilento areas.

Torraca is an hour and a quarter from Salerno, thirty minutes from Sapri and an hour and a half from Naples. The region offers plenty more to see: the Cilento National Park, the Vallo di Diano and Alburni UNESCO World Heritage Site, the archaeological site of Velia (Elea, the city of the pre-Socratic philosophers), the Greek temples of Paestum UNESCO, the Charterhouse of San Lorenzo in Padula (the largest in Italy), Marina di Camerota and Palinuro with their sea caves, Sapri and the Gulf of Policastro, or a side trip to the Amalfi Coast UNESCO. Karting in Torraca is a sport option for Cilento UNESCO travellers.
