Classic motoring returns to Lake Lugano
Campione d'Italia is a unique Italian enclave—a municipality in the province of Como—entirely surrounded by Swiss territory, overlooking Lake Lugano. Here, on a city circuit of just 1,116 meters, considered 'the smallest in the world,' a circuit was born in 1937 that attracted legendary champions, including Tazio Nuvolari in 1946.
The Historical Re-enactment of the Campione d'Italia Circuit brings that myth back to life: for a few days, the town transforms into an open-air museum of classic motoring, with vintage cars, motorcycles, and boats as the stars, featured in track sessions, static exhibitions, and parades. Vehicles built up to 1947 can participate, along with later vehicles selected for historical and sporting interest.
The program alternates technical moments with initiatives open to the public: parades, including one to Lugano, gala dinners, dynamic track sessions—including evening ones—and the Mini GP Kids dedicated to the youngest. The paddock and circuit entrance are free, making the event accessible to all enthusiasts.
Organized by Victorious and BrainsHub with the patronage of the Municipality of Campione d'Italia and the Automobile Club Lugano Classic, the event has a strong cross-border dimension between Italy and Switzerland. An appointment that intertwines sporting memory, the elegance of classic motoring, and the unique charm of Lake Lugano.
The 2026 edition, the second of the event, takes place from September 3 to 6. Thursday is dedicated to technical checks and static vehicle displays; Friday to practice sessions and the parade towards Lugano, followed by the gala dinner; Saturday to dynamic track sessions, including evening ones; Sunday to final sessions and awards. Cars and motorcycles built up to 1947, later vehicles selected for historical and sporting interest, and vintage boats can participate. Organized by Victorious and BrainsHub with the patronage of the Municipality and the Automobile Club Lugano Classic.
From September 3 to 6, 2026 (2nd edition).
