Kinisia Karting Club

In western Sicily, in Trapani in Sicily, the Kinisia Karting Club runs an outdoor track a short drive from the 'sickle-shaped city' on the Tyrrhenian coast. The site sits in a Mediterranean setting typical of the Trapani area: coastal plain, olive groves, a view over the Tyrrhenian Sea, the Egadi Islands (Favignana, Levanzo, Marettimo) and Erice perched at 750 metres. It is used by Trapani locals for sport-focused outings, by adult drivers looking for a motorsport setting, and as a venue for Sicilian championship rounds.

The outdoor track suits adult and experienced drivers, in the bright Trapani setting. Several engine sizes are available, with higher-powered karts for regulars used to timed sessions. Conditions follow the Sicilian Mediterranean climate: a fast, dry track most of the year, under the clear light of the Mezzogiorno. The site hosts enthusiast sessions, motorsport-focused stag and hen groups, corporate events and regional championship rounds.

Trapani is thirty minutes from Marsala, an hour and a half from Palermo and two hours from Agrigento. The region offers plenty more to see: Trapani's historic centre the 'sickle-shaped city' and the Torre di Ligny, the Trapani-Paceco salt pans with their windmills and salt mounds, Erice the medieval village perched at 750 metres (breathtaking view over the Mediterranean), the Egadi Islands (Favignana and the Tonnara, Levanzo and the Grotta del Genovese with prehistoric rock paintings, Marettimo), the Greek temple of Segesta, the Selinunte Archaeological Park, or a side trip to Palermo UNESCO (Cappella Palatina, Cathedral, Ballarò market). Karting in Trapani is a sport option for western Sicily holiday-makers.
