Pista Azzurra

On Veneto's Adriatic coast, in Lido di Jesolo, Pista Azzurra runs an outdoor track a short walk from the Brenta Riviera beaches. The site sits in Jesolo's tourist zone, one of the busiest seaside spots on the northern Adriatic, easily reached from Venice and Treviso. Holiday-makers staying along the Venetian coast use it for evening sessions, while Veneto businesses book it for corporate events.

When it comes to driving, the outdoor track suits adult drivers, with higher-powered karts for regulars used to timed sessions. Conditions follow the Adriatic Mediterranean climate: drier and faster in summer, more demanding on rainy autumn days or windy bora afternoons. The site hosts enthusiast sessions, motorsport-focused stag and hen groups, corporate events and group nights out for coastal holiday-makers.

Lido di Jesolo is forty-five minutes from Venice, an hour from Treviso and ninety minutes from Padua via the A4 motorway. The region has plenty more to see: Venice's historic centre (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and its lagoon, Burano and Murano by vaporetto, Treviso and its canals, Palladian villas along the Brenta, or a side trip to Bibione and Caorle. Karting in Lido di Jesolo is a sport-oriented option between a beach day and an evening on the lagoon.
