Naples Racing Show 2026: Lungomare Caracciolo becomes a temple of motorsports

Naples – Motorsports, entertainment, and local promotion meet once again on the unique setting of Lungomare Caracciolo. From November 27th to 29th, the Napoli Racing Show will once again shine a spotlight on the city with a 2026 edition that aims to break all previous records in terms of participation, appeal, and content.

For three days, the Neapolitan seafront will be transformed into a huge motorsports arena, hosting races, exhibitions, and collateral events that combine sport, tourism, and the promotion of Southern Italy's finest.

Supercar GT and rally protagonists

Among the most anticipated events is the GT tournament, which will bring some of the most prestigious cars on the international scene to the track. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Aston Martin, and other iconic brands will compete in high-speed battles around the city circuit.

Great attention is also being paid to the rally competition, which this year will feature a completely redesigned track. The new layout was designed to showcase the drivers' skills and offer spectators an even more engaging spectacle, with grandstands directly overlooking the Gulf of Naples.

Completing the sporting program will be the National Karting Championship, which will bring young talents and leading figures in the discipline to the seafront, as well as a competition dedicated to classic cars.

Traffic: the goal is to avoid inconvenience

One of the main innovations for the 2026 edition concerns the organization of urban mobility. The organizers have announced specific solutions to minimize the event's impact on city traffic.

The details of the traffic plan will be outlined in the coming weeks, but the stated goal is to allow the event to take place without causing significant inconvenience to residents and motorists.

The "Wines and Oils of Magna Graecia" exhibition takes place in the Rotonda Diaz gardens.

Alongside the motors, the Naples Racing Show will devote ample space to the agri-food products of Southern Italy. The Rotonda Diaz gardens will host the "Wines and Oils of Magna Grecia" exhibition, a showcase of the finest wine and olive oil producers in Southern Italy.

The program includes guided tastings, masterclasses, meetings with producers, and opportunities for cultural exploration, with the aim of promoting the area's excellence to a national and international audience.

Rivellini: "This event was designed for the city."

"The 2026 edition was designed first and foremost for the city and its citizens," said Napoli Racing Show president Enzo Rivellini, emphasizing the work done to reconcile the needs of the show with those of urban mobility.

Rivellini also highlighted the strategic role of the "Wines and Oils of Magna Graecia" exhibition, which is set to become one of the main events dedicated to Southern Italy's agri-food production. He thanked the Campania Region's Department of Agriculture for its institutional support of the event.
Looking beyond 2026, the organizers aim to consolidate Naples' role as a host for major international events. With this in mind, they are already looking ahead to 2027 and the America's Cup, seen as an extraordinary opportunity for promotion and development for the Campania capital and the entire Southern Italy.
