Rome, July 2nd, 2024. The ACI Karting Italian Championship is set to tackle the fourth round of the Italian Championship on the weekend of July 21st at the International Circuit Napoli in Sarno. This round will feature the usual categories: MINI, OK-N Junior, OK-N, and KZ2, which have already seen record participation numbers in the previous three rounds at Triscina, La Conca, and Val Vibrata.

A large number of drivers are expected in Sarno, not only because of the event's importance for the championship standings in the penultimate round before the final rush on September 22nd in Lonato but also because the Campanian circuit has always been one of the most attended and significant stops for all teams and drivers.

The Pagliuca Trophy on July 12-13 to test the new layout of Sarno.
Regarding the Sarno track, there's a new layout modification with the recent addition of an "S" section just before the finish straight. The latest track layout can be tested during the preparatory race on July 12-13 for the 25th Pagliuca Karting Trophy, with the final phase taking place on Saturday, and also during collective tests organized on Sunday, July 14th.
