Autoslalom Città di Ucria

A slalom race in the heart of the Nebrodi

The Autoslalom Città di Ucria is an uphill speed car competition held in Ucria, a small mountain town in the province of Messina, nestled within the Nebrodi Mountains Park. The race takes place along a stretch of the Strada Statale 116, where cones are placed for competitors to navigate in the shortest time possible, in a challenge that tests driving precision and knowledge of the course.

Established in 2022, the event has grown with every edition to become one of the most followed appointments in the Sicilian slalom scene: in 2024, the race saw a surge in entries, with over 130 cars at the start, a testament to the drivers' appreciation for such a technical and spectacular track.

Trophies and Championships

The Autoslalom Città di Ucria is a titled race that awards points for various rankings in the Southern Italian motorsport circuit. The current edition is valid for:

• Sicilian Slalom Championship
• Nebrodi Trophy
• South Trophy (Central-South Trophy)

The competition attracts vehicles of every category, from prototypes and formula single-seaters to touring sedans, with drivers coming from all over Sicily and, in some cases, neighboring regions.

Organization and Territory

The event is organized by ASD Ucria Racing in collaboration with Misilmeri Racing, under the patronage of the Municipality of Ucria. Beyond the sporting aspect, the event serves as a powerful tool for promoting the local area: during the race weekend, the Nebrodi village fills with enthusiasts, providing a positive boost to local accommodation and businesses. The awards ceremony traditionally takes place in Piazza Padre Bernardino, in the center of Ucria.

How the race works

The format generally includes technical and sporting checks on Saturday, followed by the race heats on Sunday: after a reconnaissance run, drivers tackle the timed heats on the Statale 116 track. The sum of the times determines the final, group, and overall standings. The race, included in the Sicilian and Southern Italian slalom calendar, represents one of the season's highlights in the Nebrodi Mountains, in Sicily.
