Engraved plaque from the Telethon Foundation, Arezzo, October 2003
“The Telethon Foundation Committee thanks Doctor Paolo Campobasso for his commitment to scientific research into genetic diseases.” Arezzo, October 2003.

Since 2003

It began with a plaque

In October 2003, at Arezzo, the president of the Telethon Foundation thanked Paolo Campobasso for the first 24-hour kart race ever held in Italy. Twenty-three years later the format is still raising money for children.

Arezzo, then Misano Adriatico, Milan and Adria Raceway. Five circuits, more than 150 companies and 7,500 guests. Hergla is the first round held outside Italy.

The full history

Where the money goes

The racing is the mechanism. The giving is the point.

A company does not enter twelve people in a 24-hour kart race for the karting. It enters because the weekend funds children's medicine, and because its name stands next to that for a day and a night.
