About Susa-Moncenisio Re-enactment
Following the tracks of Italy's oldest race
The Susa-Moncenisio Historical Re-enactment revives one of the most glorious chapters in motoring history: the famous «Corsa di gran salita» Susa-Moncenisio, first held in 1902 and recognized as Italy's oldest car race. Each year, the Veteran Car Club Torino brings dozens of classic vehicles back to the roads of the Susa Valley, in the Metropolitan City of Turin, for a gathering that blends automotive passion, sporting heritage, and the promotion of the Alpine landscape.
The route to the Moncenisio Pass
The heart of the event is the journey that starts in Susa and climbs, hairpin turn after hairpin turn, to the Moncenisio Pass, a small border municipality perched at over 1,400 meters in altitude and among the least populated in Italy. The convoy follows the same route that marked a fundamental milestone in automotive history, offering participants and spectators spectacular views of the Cottian Alps and the slopes overlooking France.
Bugatti, Lancia, and Ferrari in the spotlight
Over fifty cars parade along the road, divided into three categories: Pre-1953, Pre-1980, and Supercar. Among the most anticipated vehicles are four Bugatti T32 and T35 models, numerous Lancia Aurelia B20 and B24, and various Ferrari, all authentic collector's jewels. The 2026 edition features a special guest star: a 1967 Lancia Flaminia GT Touring, used by the ASI to test biofuels on historic vehicles.
A local event
Organized by the Veteran Car Club Torino in collaboration with the Fiat Historical Register and the Legends Sport Arena in Susa, and included in the ASI calendar, the re-enactment involves the entire valley. Scrutineering and the gathering take place in Susa, while the climb and the tour of the area touch upon iconic sites in the Susa Valley, from Lake Ferrera to the Novalesa Abbey. The 2026 edition also inaugurates the «1st Alberto Tribolo Memorial», dedicated to a historic figure of the club.
