Pista Max - GoKart

In the heart of inland Irpinia, in Frigento in the province of Avellino in Campania, the Pista Max Gokart runs an outdoor track in the Irpinia hills. The site sits in a picturesque setting typical of the Irpinia: the first Apennine heights, olive groves, chestnut woods (the Irpinia is famous for its IGP chestnut) and views over the Cervialto and Terminio massifs. It is used by Avellino locals for outings with friends and by Sannio-Irpinia-Matera holiday-makers looking for a motorsport break in an Apennine setting.

In its outdoor format, the track offers a layout suited to adult and experienced drivers, in the picturesque setting of inland Irpinia. Several engine sizes are available, with higher-powered karts for regulars used to timed sessions. Conditions follow the Irpinia continental climate (the Irpinia is the coldest area in Campania): drier and faster in summer, more demanding on rainy autumn days and during the cold months. The site hosts enthusiast sessions, motorsport-focused stag and hen groups, corporate events and club days from the Avellino area.

Frigento is thirty-five minutes from Avellino, an hour and a quarter from Naples and one hour from Benevento. The region offers plenty more to see: the medieval historic centre of Frigento and the Roman Cisternoni, the Castle of Gesualdo (home village of the famous prince-composer Carlo Gesualdo da Venosa), the historic centre of Avellino and the Cathedral, the Partenio Regional Park, the Mefite di Valle d'Ansanto ancient Oscan sanctuary, Mirabella Eclano and the Obelisk, Benevento and the Arch of Trajan, or a side trip to Pompeii UNESCO or Matera UNESCO. Karting in Frigento is a sport option for inland Irpinia travellers.
