July 24, 2024: The Autodromo dell’Umbria was established in 1973 in Bacanella, near Magione, a short distance from the shores of Lake Trasimeno. In the early 1980s, it was named after the pilot Mario Umberto Borzacchini, who was born in Terni. The track’s length of 2507 meters, width of 11 meters, and 11 curves make it a winding and technical course: an excellent testing ground for cars and drivers.
