Kartodromo Internazionale di Gela

On Sicily's southern coast, in Gela in the province of Caltanissetta in Sicily, the Kartodromo Internazionale di Gela runs an outdoor track in southern Sicily, a short drive from the Mediterranean Sea. The site sits in a coastal setting typical of the Caltanissetta area: the Gela coastal plain, olive groves, the early Hyblaean heights inland and a view over the Sicily Channel. It is a reference venue for confirmed Sicilian drivers and an international destination for karting championships in southern Italy.

The outdoor international-grade track offers a true racing layout, with long straights that let drivers push the gears and technical sequences calling for precision and expert reading of trajectories. It is a format that speaks to confirmed and professional drivers, although the site remains accessible to beginners thanks to gentler engine classes. The site hosts regional, national and international championships, private sessions, premium stag and hen groups, youth driver training and corporate events from the Caltanissetta and Ragusa areas.

Gela is one hour from Caltanissetta, one hour from Ragusa and two hours from Catania. The region offers plenty more to see: the Regional Archaeological Museum of Gela and the famous Greek vases and Greek fortifications of Capo Soprano (5th century BC), Caltanissetta's historic centre and the Mistero del Giovedì Santo, Piazza Armerina and the Villa Romana del Casale (a UNESCO World Heritage Site with its mosaics, including the 4th-century 'bikini girls'), Caltagirone the ceramic city with the Scala di Santa Maria del Monte (142 steps), the Valley of the Temples UNESCO Agrigento, or a side trip to the Val di Noto UNESCO. Karting in Gela is a professional reference option in southern Sicily.
