CERVIA, HAPPY VALLEY
Description This kart track is nearly unchanged along its long history. Today (2011) is the kart track with the oldest track layout in Italy. Before it, other circuits were opened: Pista Romea (1959), still in use but with a track layout completely different, Pista Rossa at Milan and Pista del Sole at Florence, the latest two now are both no longer operational.
