Altofonte-Rebuttone Car Slalom

The Altofonte-Rebuttone Car Slalom

In the heart of the Palermo hinterland, the Altofonte-Rebuttone Car Slalom has quickly become a staple of the Sicilian motorsport calendar. The event takes place in the municipality of Altofonte, in the Metropolitan City of Palermo, along the provincial roads no. 5 and 5 Bis that climb toward the Rebuttone junction, bordering the territory of Piana degli Albanesi.

The Course

The race track measures 3.8 km and is designed with seventeen slowing-down sections marked by cones, following the classic road slalom format. Drivers tackle the course in three timed heats: the winner is the one with the lowest total time, expressed in "points-seconds." It is a spectacular and technical format where precision driving is just as important as vehicle power.

A Challenge Among Sicilian Specialists

Each edition gathers around fifty drivers, mostly from Sicily, divided into the numerous classes and groups provided by ACI Sport regulations: single-seaters, prototypes, kart crosses, silhouette cars, Racing Start, Special group, and the always popular vintage car category. Over the years, renowned island slalom drivers have triumphed on the Altofonte track, behind the wheels of vehicles ranging from agile modified Fiat 126s to fast single-seaters and the latest generation prototypes.

Organization and Patronage

The race is organized by A.S.D. Scuderia Armanno Corse, with the support of Team Altofonte Corse. The event is sponsored by the Sicilian Region, the Metropolitan City of Palermo, and the municipalities of Altofonte and Piana degli Albanesi, confirming its strong local roots. The Slalom is included in the national calendar as a round of the Trofeo d'Italia Sud Slalom ACI Sport and is valid for the regional Sicilian Championship.

More Than Just a Race

The event is about more than just sport: the day of technical inspections, on the eve of the race, concludes with an evening party featuring live music in the center of Altofonte, involving both enthusiasts and the entire community. The Altofonte-Rebuttone Slalom is thus a weekend of engines, adrenaline, and local festivities, attracting fans from all over Western Sicily every year.
