Description On December 30th 1981 Francolise Town Council approved the authorization for Scuderia Vesuvio (Vesuvio Racing s.r.l.) to built a permanent track on a 200,917 m² land. At this point only Region authorization was missing, but it seemed there were no problems and according to rumors the foundation stone would have layed within a couple of months. At beginning of 1982 CSAI approved this proposal too: Mr.Bacciagaluppi of Circuit and Safety Subcommission drawn a first draft of track layout (the one shown on my map), that looked immediately good. The ground (so also the circuit) is quote undulating; main straight should have been approx. 400 m - 0.25 mi long and F.1 should have run up to 240 km/h - 150 mph approx.
Area where the circuit should have been built is the green one on my map, but ’recently’ (so I think at the end of 1981) 70,000 m² area close to Strada Comunale (Municipal Road) was bought as well.
