The fifth edition of the Coppa delle Alpi<\/a><\/strong> returns to its origins: after the event was included in the Grand Alpine Journey<\/em> project in 2024 to support the communities of the Alpine macro-region, this year the race returns to its classic winter location, inaugurating the Aci Sport Italian Major Events Championship<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

42 teams<\/strong> (from 10 countries<\/strong>) will set off from Corso Zanardelli, in Brescia<\/strong>, at 9 am on Thursday 13 March, heading for the Alps. A route of almost 900 kilometres<\/strong> awaits, divided into 3 legs<\/strong>, with 82 Time Trials<\/strong> and 6 Average Trials<\/strong>, some made particularly challenging by the slopes and hairpin bends of the Alpine passes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, the Coppa delle Alpi evokes the speed race of 1921 where for the first time a group of daring drivers covered \u201c2300 very tough kilometres\u201d<\/em>, as described in a poster of the time, embodying the audacious, free and gritty spirit<\/strong> typical of the most authentic soul of the Red Arrow.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the parterre<\/em> of cars in the race, special mention goes to a jewel from 1927, the Bugatti T 37 A<\/strong> of Matteo Belotti and Ingrid Plebani, winners of the 2023 edition. In total, 4 pre-war models<\/strong> will compete to the hundredth of a second with examples from the fifties, sixties and seventies<\/strong> that have made the history of motorsport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow afternoon, the event will have a prologue in Brescia with a 1 vs 1 direct knockout challenge <\/strong>valid for the Citt\u00e0 di Brescia Trophy<\/strong> in Piazza Vittoria<\/strong>, one of the iconic places in the history of the Most Beautiful Race in the World<\/em>. On the first leg on Thursday, the crews will cross Valcamonica and Valtellina, having lunch in Tirano<\/a><\/strong>. After a short stop in Livigno<\/a><\/strong> in the afternoon, the convoy will reach the day’s finish line in St. Moritz<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday, they go to Val M\u00fcstair<\/strong>, Lake Resia and the entrance to Austria<\/strong>. The race lunch is in Stams, followed by the return to Italy from the Brenner Pass to the end-of-leg time control in Brixen<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third and final leg will take the crews to the finish line at the Tonale Pass<\/a><\/strong>. Before the award ceremony, there will be time trials on the snow on the Pista Ghiaccio Val di Sole<\/a><\/strong>, valid for the Ponte di Legno Trophy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
