Circuito Del Garda Quindici Volte Via!

By Giancarlo Cavallini

This is the fascinating story of a small, obscure racetrack in the Italian Lakes region near Salo. The track offered most everything one could want – changing elevations, tight winding turns, a long sweeping straight and a fast section running along the water’s edge. The track only ran 15 races between 1921 and 1966, including an 11-year gap from 1950 to 1961 of disuse.
