Artugna Race 2024 is the first race of the 2025 Italian Rally-Raid Championship
All that was missing was the official chrism, which this year took the form of an insurance certificate. Solved centrally by Aci Sport, the Fuoristrada Club 4x4 Pordenone paid the policy and in a week's time, finally, the Artugna Race that was to be run last March 21/22 will be staged between Aviano, Budoia and Polcenigo. It's about time. The first act of the Italian Cross Country Baja 2025 Championship has kept drivers and navigators, teams and insiders in suspense. But now everything is ready to raise the curtain on Friday, April 25, and close it on the evening of Saturday, April 26, with the awards ceremony in Piazza Duomo in Aviano.
A Liberation Bridge also in a sporting sense for those fans and onlookers who near the foothills will be able to enjoy the off-road challenge during barbecues and picnics. The new date has forced a change in logistics, and the race headquarters will be at the Castel d'Aviano Golf Club, a lavish and special balcony from which a portion of the course can also be seen. Registration closes next Monday, so crews still have time to clear their reservations after having to reschedule.
Since 2021 in the Artugna Race version, the Italian Baja di Primavera has been won in sequence by Sergio Galletti, Andrea Alfano and twice by Manuele Mengozzi among cross country vehicles, while in the side-by-side compartment Amerigo Ventura signed a consecutive trio and last year there was a surprise blitz by Andrea Castagnera, with second place by Federico Buttò from Pordenone, who, however, became champion at the end of the season.
