Autodromo di Lombardore is a permanent motorsport circuit located near Turin in the Piedmont region of northern Italy. The track is relatively small and technical, measuring about 1.1 km (0.68 miles), and is mainly used for motorcycle riding, driving courses, vehicle testing, club events, and track days.
History
The origins of the circuit date back to 1972, when the facility was first developed as an autocross track under the name Circuito Pietro Ostorero. It officially opened in 1973.
In 1985, the original dirt circuit was closed. A few years later, the venue was rebuilt and transformed into a paved racing circuit. The modern asphalt version reopened on 23 July 1989.
Because of its location close to residential areas, the autodrome has frequently faced noise restrictions and legal disputes related to engine sound levels. Since the early 2000s, local authorities and residents have debated the future of the circuit. In 2003, closure was already being considered due to noise complaints. In 2014, the circuit was temporarily shut down following court action connected to excessive noise levels, but it later reopened after an appeal by the operators.
Today
The autodrome is operated as a multi-purpose motorsport and mobility center.
