All is set for edition 36 of the event started back in 1990 with the organization by Parma Motorsport. The total number of nations represented is 36. The Hall of Fame is getting more and more important.
Thursday, March 20th, marks the start of the 36th Andrea Margutti Trophy at South Garda Karting in Lonato, with Parma Motorsport, under the Pellegrini family, continuing the legacy of this event in memory of the young Andrea Margutti. This is fitting tribute to this driver who tragically passed away at just 14 years old in 1989, and to his family who over time have helped to keep the memory alive since 1990.
A high-value sporting contest, with 250 entries.
Also for this 36th edition, the participation of all actors is of a high level. Competitors, teams, drivers and industry professionals are ready to take to the track for a sporting contest of value, with a participation that also this year, as in the past, is remarkable: 250 entries from 36 nations. It is the best guarantee for a success destined to be repeated. Among the nations from all over Europe, America, Asia and Africa, this year Kazakhstan is also added. The most represented nations in this edition are Switzerland and the Czech Republic, each with 14 drivers. The team with the largest number of drivers is confirmed as Team Driver which will field 16 drivers.
