Kartodromo Gilles Villeneuve Pergusa
About
In central Sicily, in Pergusa (an Enna district) in central Sicily, the Kartodromo Gilles Villeneuve runs an outdoor track on the legendary Pergusa Autodrome site, the former host of the Mediterranean Grand Prix in Formula 1, Formula 3000 and Formula 3. The name honours Canadian driver Gilles Villeneuve, the Ferrari legend. The site sits in a natural setting typical of central Sicily: the lake of Pergusa (the only large natural lake on the island), woods and the early heights rising towards the Madonie and the Erei.
When it comes to driving, the outdoor kart track offers a technical layout suited to adult and experienced drivers, in the historic motorsport spirit of the Pergusa site. Several engine sizes are available, from beginner karts for kids to punchier versions for regulars used to timed sessions. Conditions follow the continental climate of the Enna plateau: drier and faster in summer, more demanding on rainy autumn days. The site hosts enthusiast sessions, motorsport-focused stag and hen groups, premium corporate events and regional championships.
Pergusa is fifteen minutes from Enna, one hour from Catania and two hours from Palermo. The region offers plenty more to see: Enna's historic centre (the 'belvedere of Sicily'), the Castello di Lombardia, the lake of Pergusa and its nature reserve (birdlife, passing flamingos), the Villa Romana del Casale at Piazza Armerina (Roman mosaics, a UNESCO World Heritage Site), or a side trip to Caltagirone and its Baroque ceramics or Mount Etna and the National Park. Karting at Pergusa is a premium motorsport option for enthusiasts on a pilgrimage to the legendary Pergusa site.
