The Pescara Circuit was a 25.8-kilometre road circuit that wound through the hills and villages west of the city, used for major motor racing events from 1924 until 1961. It is the longest circuit ever to have hosted a Formula One World Championship race — the 1957 Pescara Grand Prix — and one of the most dangerous courses in the history of motorsport, running on ordinary public roads through Spoltore and Cappelle sul Tavo with minimal safety provisions.
Today there is no single place to visit, but the roads themselves still exist and the route can be driven or cycled. Enthusiasts trace the circuit as a kind of pilgrimage. The villages the course passed through — Spoltore is the most accessible — retain much of the character they had in the racing era. For anyone interested in motorsport history, this is a genuinely unusual attraction: a piece of history preserved simply because it was always a road, and roads tend to last.
