In early August ~~2026~~ 2026, the 64th edition of the Svolte di Popoli mountain‑speed championship was staged in Popoli Terme, Abruzzo. Organisers recorded a record 123 pilots, with defending champion Stefano Di Fulvio returning in a Nova Proto NP 01 turbo alongside seasoned drivers such as Lorenzo Tizzi Corazzini and Omar Magliona. The event counted for both the northern and southern ACI Sport zones of the Italian Mountain Speed Championship and featured public presentations and regional promotion activities. Preparations for the race included technical checks on 6 August and reconnaissance rides on 8 August over a 7.530‑km, 475‑m‑drop course, underscoring its importance for the local community. The same weekend launched the broader August motorsport calendar with the 15th edition of the Slalom Coppa Città di Ruoti – Memorial Canio Vazza, revived after six years. The Ruoti rally attracted 63 cars in the Coppa Italia Zona A class and 15 in a tourist category, drawing notable entrants such as former slalom champion Saverio Miglionico and newcomer Desirè Marino. Together, the events highlighted a growing national profile for Italy’s mountain and slalom racing series.
