Start Racing ssd
About
Just outside Taranto, in the Ipercoop district in Apulia, Start Racing SSD runs an outdoor track in the urban outskirts of the city of the two seas (the Mar Grande and Mar Piccolo). The site is in a peripheral business area easily reached from central Taranto and the SS7 road. It is used by Taranto locals for outings with friends and by motorsport enthusiasts from the Apulian Ionian area.
The outdoor track suits adult and experienced drivers, in the urban-peripheral setting typical of the Taranto area (the site is sport-oriented and aimed at adult drivers). Several engine sizes are available, with higher-powered karts for regulars used to timed sessions. Conditions follow the Apulian Mediterranean climate: drier and faster in summer, sometimes windy on scirocco days. The site hosts enthusiast sessions, motorsport-focused stag and hen groups, corporate events and regional championships.
Taranto is one hour from Bari, one hour from Matera and an hour and a half from Lecce. The region offers plenty more to see: the historic centre of Taranto (the old town on an island) and the National Archaeological Museum (MArTA, one of the most important in Italy with the famous Ori di Taranto), the Mar Piccolo and its traditional mussel farms, the Aragonese castle, the Ponte Girevole swing bridge, or a side trip to Matera and the Sassi UNESCO one hour away or Alberobello and the trulli UNESCO forty-five minutes away. Karting near Taranto is a sport option for residents and motorsport enthusiasts staying in the city of the two seas.
