About Monte Sant'Angelo Slalom
The Monte Sant'Angelo City Slalom
The Monte Sant'Angelo City Slalom is the premier motorsport event in the Gargano region: an uphill slalom race held along the Strada Provinciale 55, in the stretch between the village of Macchia and the town of Monte Sant'Angelo, in the province of Foggia. The event is organized by the A.S.D. Gargano Racing Team, in collaboration with the Tecno Motor Racing Team, and has firmly established itself in the Apulian motorsport calendar.
The Track
The race course measures 3,600 meters and is defined by thirteen chicanes (the obstacles drivers must navigate without hitting them), laid out along an ascent that winds through the hairpin bends of the Gargano promontory. It is a technical and spectacular track, nestled in the greenery of the Gargano National Park, with wide panoramic areas that allow the public to follow the race while overlooking the landscape between the sea and the mountains.
Joining the Italian Absolute Slalom Championship
2026 marks a historic turning point for the event: the Monte Sant'Angelo City Slalom joins the Italian Absolute Slalom Championship (CIAS) for the first time, the top national series organized by ACI Sport. The Gargano race is one of the seven rounds of the 2026 CIAS calendar and has been awarded a 1.5 coefficient, a recognition of the growth achieved over five editions by the Gargano Racing Team.
An Event for the Region
The event is sponsored by the Apulia Region, the Municipality of Monte Sant'Angelo, the Automobile Club Foggia, CONI Puglia, and the Gargano National Park Authority. Beyond the sporting aspect, the slalom serves as a tourist promotion opportunity for Monte Sant'Angelo, a UNESCO World Heritage village thanks to the Sanctuary of Saint Michael the Archangel, and for the entire Gargano area, which welcomes drivers, teams, and enthusiasts from all over Central and Southern Italy during the race days.
