| 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. |

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 |
