Kartodromo Dinamic

At the foot of Monte Vulture, in Palazzo San Gervasio in the province of Potenza in Basilicata, the Kartodromo Dinamic runs an outdoor track in the Lucanian hills. The site sits in a picturesque setting typical of northern Basilicata: the first Apennine heights, ancient olive groves, chestnut woods and views over Monte Vulture (an extinct volcano). It is used by Lucanian locals for outings with friends and by Basilicata-Vulture-Matera holiday-makers looking for a motorsport break in an Apennine rural setting.

The outdoor track suits adult and experienced drivers, in the picturesque setting of the Lucanian Vulture. Several engine sizes are available, with higher-powered karts for regulars used to timed sessions. Conditions follow the Apennine continental climate: drier and faster in summer, more demanding on rainy autumn days. The site hosts enthusiast sessions, motorsport-focused stag and hen groups, corporate events and club days from the Lucanian area.

Palazzo San Gervasio is thirty minutes from Potenza, forty-five minutes from Matera and one hour from Foggia. The region offers plenty more to see: the Castle of Melfi (seat of the Swabian court of Frederick II and of the Constitutions of Melfi, 1231), the historic centre of Venosa (birthplace of the poet Horace), Monte Vulture and Lake Monticchio (a volcanic lake in the Vulture crater), Matera and the Sassi UNESCO (European Capital of Culture 2019), the medieval historic centre of Potenza, or a side trip to the Pollino National Park (the largest in Italy) or the Lucanian coast at Maratea. Karting in Palazzo San Gervasio is a sport option for Lucanian locals and Vulture-Matera holiday-makers.
