Alessandria della Rocca City Slalom

A slalom race in the heart of the Agrigento area

The Alessandria della Rocca City Slalom is an uphill speed car competition held in the municipality of Alessandria della Rocca, in the province of Agrigento, in the heart of Sicily. The race takes place on a stretch of the SS 118 Corleonese-Agrigentina, which is closed to traffic for the occasion and transformed into a technical 2,750-meter track, marked by curves, hairpin bends, and cones to be navigated in the shortest time possible.

Slalom, a popular discipline in Sicily

Automotive slalom is one of the most widespread and beloved specialties in Sicilian motorsport: an accessible format that allows both novice and expert drivers to compete on the same course, with cars ranging from small tuned touring cars to single-seaters and racing prototypes. In Alessandria della Rocca, the race returned in 2021 after several years of absence, bringing the roar of engines back to the roads of the Agrigento hinterland and quickly establishing itself as a staple of the summer calendar.

An event for the local area

The event, organized by the Muxaro Corse team, is not just a sporting competition but also a celebration for the community: enthusiasts, families, and curious onlookers gather along the course and in the paddock areas, while the hillside village of Alessandria della Rocca comes alive during the race days. The edition is part of the town's summer calendar and has previously been held in conjunction with other local August events.

Among the protagonists

Recent editions have seen dozens of drivers from all over Sicily at the starting line, with teams like Ro Racing and Island Motorsport vying for the top spots. The competition rewards driving skills and car setup on a demanding road surface, where precision counts as much as raw speed.

Where and when

The event takes place in Alessandria della Rocca (province of Agrigento, Sicily) in August, traditionally over a weekend, with practice runs and official heats concentrated on race day. The track on the SS 118 offers spectators numerous vantage points from which to follow the cars in action along the curves of the state road.
