The ultimate off-road speed challenge at the Circuito Bernardo Seletto
The Trofeo Veglio 4x4 - Trofeo Arcobaleno is one of the most celebrated motorsport events in the Italian off-road scene. It takes place in Veglio, a small town in the Province of Biella, in the heart of the Piedmontese foothills, on a track that has become a symbol of the discipline: the Circuito Bernardo Seletto, widely considered by experts to be a true 'sanctuary' for the sport.
Organized by the Veglio 4x4 A.S.D. association, the race is a valid round of the Italian Off-Road Speed Championship by F.I.F. (CIVF) and often serves as the decisive stage for crowning national champions. In recent years, following the cancellation of other national legs, Veglio has firmly established itself as the true Italian 'capital' of the specialty.
The Circuito Bernardo Seletto is renowned for being an extremely technical course, where driver skill often outweighs vehicle power. Among its most feared sections is the famous 'dente', a passage that puts both cars and crews to the ultimate test and provides spectacular footage for the crowds gathered along the fences.
The race features various categories defined by the regulations: prototypes, modified off-roaders, and side-by-side (SSV) vehicles, each with separate classifications. The challenge is spread over five special stages across two days of racing, a format that ensures excitement and suspense until the very last meter.
With nearly forty years of history, the Trofeo Veglio 4x4 is now a consolidated tradition for the Biella area and the entire Italian off-road movement. Alongside the main race, the Trofeo Arcobaleno takes place, and the program also features commemorative moments such as the Memorial Seletto, dedicated to the memory of those who founded this event.
Beyond the pure competition, the event is a grand local festival: in Veglio, the race attracts thousands of spectators, with stands, food stalls, and convivial evenings that bring the small Biella town to life, transforming it for an entire weekend into the capital of Italian off-roading.
For motor racing and adrenaline enthusiasts, the Trofeo Veglio 4x4 is an unmissable opportunity to see the best Italian drivers in action in a unique setting. The combination of high-level competition, a legendary track, and the warm hospitality of the Veglio community makes this event a classic of the Piedmontese motorsport autumn.
The 40th Trofeo Veglio 4x4 - 8th Trofeo Arcobaleno returns to the Circuito Bernardo Seletto in Veglio, in the Province of Biella, from September 3 to 5, 2026.
