PATERNÒ, TRE FONTANE
SORRY, SOME DATA ARE NOT TRANSLATED YET
Description On September 28th 1958 1st Tre Fontane Motorbike Circuit was held on a street circuit done by roads SP 58, SP 15 and SP 77 (blue on the map). In Summer 1969 some motorbike races were scheduled (classes 125, 175, 250 and 350) on the same circuit. I don’t know if it was used intermediate years. In Summer 1969, a new circuit for cars and motorbikes had been proposed: it should have been done with some new links between the same roads (red on the map).
I’m not sure track length reported here are correct.
