Rievocazione Storica del Circuito di Campione d'Italia
Classic motoring returns to Lake Lugano
About Circuito di Campione
A Legendary Circuit
Campione d'Italia is a unique Italian municipality – part of 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 track was born in 1937 that attracted legendary champions, including Tazio Nuvolari in 1946.
The Re-enactment
The Rievocazione Storica del Circuito di Campione d'Italia brings that legend back to life: for a few days, the town transforms into an open-air museum of classic motoring, with vintage cars, motorcycles, and boats taking center stage through track sessions, static exhibitions, and parades. Vehicles built up to 1947 are eligible to participate, along with later models selected for their historical and sporting interest.
A Program for Everyone
The program alternates technical sessions with events open to the public: parades, including one towards Lugano, gala dinners, dynamic track sessions – including evening ones – and the Mini GP Kids dedicated to the youngest. Paddock and circuit entry are free, making the event accessible to all enthusiasts.
A Cross-Border Event
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.
Circuito di Campione — edition 2026
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; and Sunday to final sessions and awards. Cars and motorcycles built up to 1947, later vehicles selected for historical and sporting interest, and vintage boats are eligible to participate.
