About Val d'Orcia Rally
A rally in the heart of the Val d'Orcia
The Val d'Orcia Rally is one of the most anticipated events in Tuscan motorsport. Organized by the ASD Scuderia Radicofani Motorsport, every spring it brings dozens of crews to the dirt roads that wind between Radicofani and the municipalities of the Val d'Orcia and the Sienese Valdichiana, in the Province of Siena. The race is valid for the Italian Gravel Rally Championship (CIRT) and the Italian Historic Gravel Rally Championship (CIRTS), a dual soul that brings both modern Rally2 cars and iconic historic rally cars to the track.
The charm of the Sienese dirt roads
What makes this rally special is its setting: the special stages run through the gullies, clay hills, and landscapes that have made the Val d'Orcia famous worldwide. The historic center of Radicofani, dominated by its medieval fortress, hosts the headquarters and the arrival ceremony, offering fans an exceptional backdrop. The route is never the same: each year, the organizers design tracks that showcase the local municipalities, from San Casciano dei Bagni to Sarteano, and even the most hidden hamlets.
A growing event
Born as a regional trial, the race has grown over the years into a nationally significant event, capable of attracting top-tier drivers from the Italian and international scenes. The white roads around Radicofani offer a technical and selective terrain, highly appreciated by gravel specialists. The event involves the entire territory, with the support of the municipalities involved and a strong public turnout along the special stages and service areas.
More than just a race
The competition is surrounded by a packed program of technical inspections, shakedowns, a service park open to fans, and festivities in the villages of the Val d'Orcia. For motorsport enthusiasts, it is an opportunity to experience the adrenaline of the rally up close; for the region, it is a showcase that combines sport, tradition, and tourism promotion in southern Tuscany.
