The Casentino International Rally towards its 45th edition: over one hundred kilometers of spectacularity with the grand finale on Talla

Arezzo, June 7, 2025 – It is a countdown marked by excitement that separates motorsport enthusiasts from the start of the Rally Internazionale Casentino, the third round of the International Rally Cup scheduled for Friday 11 and Saturday 12 July in the province of Arezzo. Scuderia Etruria SCRL, organizer of the event, is ready to “put on the table” of the participants over one hundred kilometers – specifically 101.73 – distributed over seven special stages. Big news, for the benefit of the public, is the inclusion in the program of the super show test Bibbiena, which will take place on the asphalt of Piazzale John Lennon in a ring circuit of one kilometer and one hundred meters, with the cars that will challenge each other in a “one on one” comparison, enhancing the spectacular nature of the initiative.

Bibbiena will host the Race Direction, Secretariat and Press Room of the event, making available Villa La Mausolea, already the headquarters of the event in its previous editions.

THE PROGRAM

Registrations open from Friday 13th June

Registrations for the race will open on Friday 13 June, until the deadline set for Friday 4 July. Poppi, in the splendid setting of its castle, will host the sporting and technical verification sessions, scheduled for Thursday 10 and Friday 11 July, a day that will see the engines turn on on the asphalt of the shakedown, scheduled in Lonnano from 12 to 17. Friday evening, at 20:40, the cars will depart from the service park, hosted - as per tradition - in the large spaces of the industrial area La Ferrantina, in Bibbiena. The location, "heart of the event", will be the setting for the first special test, the SPS Bibbiena, scheduled for 20:54, with the cars that - once the commitment is concluded - will climb onto the arrival platform of the first stage, from 21:14, again in Piazzale Resistenza.

On Saturday 12 July, the engines will be turned on at 11 am with the cars heading from Piazzale Resistenza towards the service park, a location where they will stop for fifteen minutes before presenting themselves at the photocell for the second special stage, the 7.48 km “Rosina”, scheduled for 11:55 am. The third commitment will call the interpreters of the race on the 23.01 km of Crocina (12:34 pm), a stretch which will be followed by the 16.55 km of the “Dama”, scheduled for 1:58 pm. Soci will host a regrouping phase lasting forty minutes starting at 2:48 pm. From there the cars will parade towards a new service park phase, again at “La Ferrantina”, lasting forty minutes (starting at 3:34 pm), before tackling a new round of special stages consisting of the repetition of the “Rosina” (4:36 pm) and “Dama” (5:35 pm). At 18:40, Bibbiena will host a final regrouping, with the cars that – after a new phase in the service park (at 19:40) – will be called to face the longest special test, the “Talla” of 29.58 km.
