Kartodromo Pista Fluida

On the Costa dei Trabocchi, in Cupello in the province of Chieti in Abruzzo, the Kartodromo Pista Fluida runs an outdoor track in the famous Vasto area. The site sits in a coastal setting typical of southern Chieti: the first pre-Apennine heights, century-old olive groves and views over the Adriatic and the Trabocchi (the wooden fishing platforms typical of the Abruzzo coast, icons of vernacular engineering). It is used by Abruzzo locals for outings with friends and by Costa dei Trabocchi holiday-makers.

In its outdoor format, the track offers a layout suited to adult and experienced drivers, in the picturesque setting of the Vasto area. Several engine sizes are available, with higher-powered karts for regulars used to timed sessions. Conditions follow the Adriatic climate: a fast, dry track most of the year, fanned by sea breezes. The site hosts enthusiast sessions, motorsport-focused stag and hen groups, corporate events and club days from the Chieti area.

Cupello is fifteen minutes from Vasto, forty-five minutes from Pescara and an hour and a half from L'Aquila. The region offers plenty more to see: Vasto and its historic centre overlooking the Adriatic, the Costa dei Trabocchi and the famous historic trabocchi (Trabocco Punta Aderci, Trabocco Cungarelle, both protected as State heritage), the Punta Aderci Nature Reserve, the Abbey of San Giovanni in Venere in Fossacesia, the historic centre of Lanciano and the famous Eucharistic Miracle, the Maiella National Park, or a side trip to the Gargano (Apulia) or the Tremiti Islands. Karting in Cupello is a sport option for Costa dei Trabocchi holiday-makers.
