BARI, FIERA DEL LEVANTE
Not to be confused with Bari
Description Street circuit used from 1947 and 1956. I don’t know if and what changes were made at track layout and what layout shows my map.
According to The GEL Motorsport in 1956 direction was clockwise and not anticlockwise, as it was in previous editions; besides pits and start/finish line was moved to another unknown position.
