An Intense Weekend: Penultimate CIAR Challenge at Lazio Cassino, Followed by La Grande Corsa and the Triumphant Return of the RAAB

Brescia, 8th Semptember 2025 – Another weekend of motorsport support is around the corner. Activities begin early this time: from Tuesday, we will be alongside the Campionato Italiano Assoluto Rally Sparco for the Lazio Cassino Rally. Afterward, we move to Asti for La Grande Corsa and to Emilia-Romagna for the much-anticipated return of the Rally Alto Appennino Bolognese.

Rally del Lazio Cassino

Here we are: the sixth and penultimate round of the CIAR Sparco is about to begin. On Tuesday, the Lazio Cassino Rally officially kicks off. For the first time in its history, the event joins Italy’s premier rally series, a recognition of the extensive effort that has gone on behind the scenes in recent years.

Sporting checks are scheduled for Tuesday, while Wednesday and Thursday will be dedicated to reconnaissance, monitored in real time via our mobile application. Thursday will also host the technical scrutineering, followed by the shakedown and the ceremonial start in the evening.

The competitive stages begin Friday morning, with six special stages scheduled until late afternoon. The day will feature three timed sections, each repeated twice, for a total of 38.56 km. Saturday promises to be the most demanding day: while following the same format as Friday, the distance will more than double, with six more stages bringing the total competitive mileage of the rally to 110.91 km.

Alongside the CIAR contenders, CRZ 8 crews will also take on the same route. In addition, with an eye toward environmental responsibility, road safety, territorial promotion, and technological innovation, the Lazio Cassino Rally will be accompanied by satellite events and demonstrations, offering fans a full-scale celebration of motorsport.

Rally La Grande Corsa

Running concurrently with Lazio Cassino, we will also provide support for La Grande Corsa, held in memory of Nino Fornaca and now in its eleventh edition. Dedicated to historic cars, the event is valid for the first zone of the TRZ.

Scheduled entirely for Saturday, the rally includes seven special stages: two to be repeated twice, and the “Albugnano” stage, contested three times, for a total competitive distance of 65.64 km.

This promises to be a weekend of particular significance for historic motorsport fans in Asti, with an event that, like Lazio Cassino and many others, highlights local culture and sustainability. Thanks to the project “Ogni pilota, un albero” (One driver, one tree), promoted by ACI Sport and the Carabinieri Biodiversity Department, around one hundred trees will be planted in the areas touched by the rally.

Rally Alto Appennino Bolognese

Our final stop this weekend is in Emilia-Romagna, for the 32nd Rally Alto Appennino Bolognese, which returns to the calendar after six years. Organized in 2025 by MaremmaCorse 2.0, the RAAB will serve as the grand finale of the Coppa Rally di Zona 6—the second Coppa di Zona final after Piancavallo—marking the decisive stages of the 2025 season.

The RAAB features two days of competition, on Saturday and Sunday, with ten special stages: three repeated three times, plus an “aperitivo” stage specially designed to celebrate the event’s return to the ACI Sport calendar. In total, the rally covers 63.73 competitive kilometers, ensuring excitement both for spectators along the course and drivers behind the wheel.

Adding to the spectacle, historic cars—including models produced between 1991 and 2000 under new international regulations—will also be part of the event.

Safety and Innovation

An intense rally weekend lies ahead, with the penultimate CIAR Sparco round at Lazio Cassino as its highlight. The 2025 season is moving into its final stretch, but rather than slowing down, it is entering an even more decisive phase.

At Be Traced, we are always present—at the service of motorsport. This weekend, with the Lazio Cassino Rally, the accompanying “satellite” initiatives resonate strongly with our philosophy of promoting a safer, more technologically advanced sport, a commitment we have proudly carried forward since before our debut in the ACI Sport rally calendar.

Enjoy the Race!
