61st Luigi Fagioli Hillclimb unveils 2026 programme at Gubbio

The 61st Trofeo Luigi Fagioli will present its full 2026 schedule and details at a press conference on Thursday 20 August at 11:00 in the Sala Trecentesca of Palazzo Pretorio in Gubbio's Piazza Grande. The event, widely regarded as the "Monte Carlo of hillclimbs" in European road racing circles, will outline its programme, innovations, services and organisational plans for the August 21–23 weekend.

The hillclimb will host the opening round of the Italian National Hillclimb Championship (Campionato Italiano Supersalita), alongside the Italian Mountain Speed Championship (CIVM) North and South divisions, the Italian Two-Cylinder Championship, the Assominicar Challenge, and the Gubbio City Cup for historic cars competing in two practice and two race runs. The event will be broadcast live on ACI Sport TV (Sky channel 228 and web). Entry registrations remain open until Monday 17 August at 23:59.

Special events begin on Wednesday 12 August at 18:00 with the opening of an exhibition titled "I favolosi sessanta" (The Fabulous Sixty) at the Galleria della Porta on Corso Garibaldi, tracing the hillclimb's history from its origins. The same evening will see the presentation of the second volume of "Di piloti, bolidi e altre storie" (Of Drivers, Bolides and Other Stories), a history of the Gubbio event written and photographed by Tonino Menichetti and discussed with journalist Mario Donnini of Autosprint. The exhibition will run through 23 August and includes a section dedicated to the centenary of the Automobile Club Perugia. The initiatives have been supported by the Perugia Foundation, Rampini Auto and Romeoauto.
