The 53rd edition of the Trofeo delle Industrie is scheduled at South Garda Karting from November 28th to 30th, featuring the traditionally rich field of competitors.
The Trofeo delle Industrie has become a true institution, having been on the calendar since 1971 at its original track, the historic Kartdrome of Parma circuit in San Pancrazio. The event originated from the intuition of the recently deceased patron Umberto Pellegrini, and at the time, the Trofeo delle Industrie was sponsored by the karting industries themselves.
For many years, the promotion has been carried forward by Parma Motorsport, led by Umberto Pellegrini’s children, Tiziano, Donatella, and Germano, who are committed to continuing this long-standing tradition which has found continuity at the Lonato track since 2012.
