The 2025 route

On Friday, September 19, as tradition dictates, the 300 crews will start from the historic Piazza Sordello, the heart of Mantua. They will travel through the plains of the Po Valley, arriving at the Modena racetrack. The journey will then continue through the hills of Emilia-Romagna towards the Adriatic Sea, with the Forlì city circuit and arrival in Cesenatico, where the first evening will take place at the Grand Hotel da Vinci. The night will be spent in Rimini.

On Saturday, September 20, the second stage will take the route from Rimini towards Tuscany, Umbria, and Marche. The crews will pass through Sant’Angelo in Vado, Sansepolcro, Monte San Savino, Piazza del Campo in Siena, and have a break at Borgo Scopeto, surrounded by the "tall and pure" cypress trees of the Sienese hills. In the afternoon, the crews will drive through the Chianti roads, passing over the Buriano Bridge, immortalized by Leonardo da Vinci in his most famous masterpiece, the “Mona Lisa,” followed by trials in Pieve Santo Stefano and the Viamaggio pass. The Republic of San Marino will host the final timed trials of the day, with a stamp control in Piazza della Libertà at the peak of Mount Titano. The second stage will conclude in Rimini, with a passage through Piazza Tre Martiri and finally a stop at Parco Fellini for the night. In the evening, the traditional Gala Dinner in honor of Tazio Nuvolari will take place in the wonderful Fellini-style setting of the Grand Hotel Rimini.

On Sunday, September 21, the crews will head north. The route will offer them the final challenges, crucial to determine the overall winner. Starting from Rimini, they will face the feared timed trials of Meldola, followed by a visit to Faenza, hosted by the Formula 1 team “Racing Bulls.” The Estense Castle will be the location for the time check in Ferrara, and shortly after, the "Power Stage," the live televised show trial, will take place in the oval of Piazza Ariostea. It will then be time for the return to Mantua, passing through the stamp controls in Poggio Rusco, San Giacomo delle Segnate, and Bondanello.
