Pista Racing Kart Laureana

In south-western Calabria, in Laureana di Borrello in the province of Reggio Calabria, the Pista Racing Kart Laureana runs an outdoor track at the foot of the Calabrian Serre. The site sits in a rural setting typical of the inland Reggio area: bocage, olive groves, citrus groves and the early wooded heights rising towards the Serre. It is used by Reggio locals for outings with friends and by holiday-makers staying on the Costa degli Dei and the Costa Viola.

The outdoor track suits adult and experienced drivers, in the open setting typical of the inland Reggio area. Several engine sizes are available, with higher-powered karts for regulars used to timed sessions. Conditions follow the Calabrian Mediterranean climate: drier and faster in summer, more demanding on rainy autumn days. The site hosts enthusiast sessions, motorsport-focused stag and hen groups and corporate events from the southern Calabrian area.

Laureana di Borrello is one hour from Reggio Calabria, thirty minutes from Vibo Valentia and thirty minutes from Tropea. The region offers plenty more to see: Tropea (one of the Borghi più Belli d'Italia) and its famous beach, the Costa degli Dei and Capo Vaticano, Pizzo Calabro and its tonnara, Stilo and the Byzantine Cattolica, Monte Sant'Elia and its belvedere over the Costa Viola, or a side trip to Reggio Calabria and the Riace Bronzes or Scilla and its swordfish boats. Karting in Laureana is a sport option for Costa degli Dei holiday-makers and Calabrian locals looking for an inland setting.
