Pista del Sole | |||||
Description | Kart track built in 1960, its name means ’Sun Track’. In Summer 1974, 13 men founded Karting Club Firenze, that in 1975 took the responsibility for run the circuit. At first, they made some works necessary for renovate the track, at that time in very bad condition: tribune, boxes, garage, facilities, lighting were remade and track layout was changed and it was repaved. In future, it should have been extended up to 700 m - 0,435 mi. I have no map. | ||||

Pista del Sole | |||||
Description | Works at Pista del Sole (Sun Track) begun probably one year and half before, but they were suspended because it seemed that land strip of the adjacent airfield would have used circuit area. Once this problem was solved, organizers hoped to inaugurate the track on June 13th 1982. There was still a problem to be solved: boxes were too small, but a new large square should have been opened soon. I have no more info. | ||||
