An event for enthusiasts and collectors
“ASI in Pista” is designed to allow historic-car owners to experience their vehicles in their natural environment: the racetrack. At the same time, the presence of the technical commission gives collectors the opportunity to start or complete the certification process.
Not just an open track day, but a format that combines driving, automotive culture and the enhancement of Italy’s historic motoring heritage.
