About Castiglione Rally
A rally in the heart of the Turin hills
The Castiglione Torinese Rally is one of the most popular motorsport events in the province of Turin, in Piedmont. Originally a local competition, it has quickly become a staple of the regional rally calendar, attracting crews from across Northern Italy and abroad. The event is based in the town of Castiglione Torinese, a small village overlooking the Po River about ten kilometers from Turin, from which the stages wind through the hills of the Chierese and lower Monferrato areas.
The race and the championship
The event is organized by MAT Racing A.S.D., led by Mario Trolese with Walter Fornaca as part of the organizing team. It represents the third round of the ACI Sport Zone 1 Rally Cup, following the events in Santo Stefano Belbo and the Aosta Valley. At stake is not only the day's victory but also valuable points for the zone standings and qualification for the national finals.
The special stages
The route crosses several municipalities in the Turin hills, each lending its roads to the timed stages. The most classic sections are those of Sciolze, Moncucco, and Cordova, repeated several times throughout the race day, with the service park and regrouping area set up in Settimo Torinese.
