ASTI
Not to be confused with	Asti (1926)
Description	Street track used from 1946 to 1947. My map shows 2 km layout, probably used un 1946. I have a photo (on Ruoteclassiche) that shows 1947 starting grid, teken in Corso Alla Vittoria (more or less where I took photo No.3), but in contrary direction. Some motorbikes event were held on May 14th 1950 and May 31st 1953, but I don’t know if track layout was the same or not

This circuit has abandoned more than 50 years ago. This is the only red single seater I could see here! (to be precise, I took this photo near photo 7)	Start/finish straight. White house in background is on the corner between Piazza Vittorio Alfieri (left, outside this photo) and Corso Alla Vittoria (Victory Street; right)	Corso Alla Vittoria (Victory Street; right)	Corso Alla Vittoria (Victory Street). Now is divided into two halves: left one (used by car driving towards camera) is aligned with previous section (shown on photo No. 2). I don’t know anything about 1940s layout. In 1947 starting grid was here, but race direction was towards camera, opposite than 1946.

Junction between Corso alla Vittoria (Victory Street; right) e Corso Pietro Chiesa (Pietro Chiesa Street, right)	As previous photo. High building in the middle of the picture can be seen (a little) on the left in previous photo	Corso Galileo Ferraris (Galileo Ferraris Street) seen from its junction with Corso Pietro Chiesa (Pietro Chiesa Street)	Corso Galileo Ferraris (Galileo Ferraris Street), at the beginning of Parco della Resistenza (Resistance Park)

Junction between Corso Galileo Ferraris (left, ouside this photo) e Corso Luigi Einaudi (straight on this photo). I don’t think that in 1940s there was grass in foreground in the middle of the junction.... On the right (behind trees): Campo del Palio (Palio’s Square)	Corso Luigi Einaudi. This photo was taken on the grass seen in previous photo, near big metallic pole. On the right (behind trees): Campo del Palio (Palio’s Square)	Corso Luigi Einaudi: bend around Campo del Palio (Palio’s Square) corner	Campo del Palio (Palio’s Square), usually used as a parking

Corso Luigi Einaudi: this photo was taken from following Campo del Palio (Palio’s Square) corner and the circuit is shown in contrary direction	Campo del Palio (Palio’s Square), usually used as a parking	Corso Luigi Einaudi. This photo was taken from the same point where photo No. 12 was takem, but according to circuit direction	Corso Luigi Einaudi: this photo was taken from following Campo del Palio (Palio’s Square) corner. Background: last corner

Vittorio Alfieri Square, not used by circuit in my map; if a longer layout has been used, maybe it went also here
