BOLSENA
Description Street circuit used in 1931 and 1932 for Circuito automobilistico del Lago di Bolsena (Lake of Bolsena car circuit). It was a mixed race, with a regularity and a speed section. First one (from Montefiascone to Bolsena) was on roads open to normal traffic, while uphill from Bolsena to Montefiascone was a speed race on closed roads. Final result was based on both results.

Due to technical problems, temporarily it’s no longer possible to see the circuits on Google Maps embedded in the current page.
This feature will be restored as soon as I figure out how to do (any help would be appreciated!)
