Coppa d’Oro delle Dolomiti

International regularity competition for classic cars

EDITION

In the first ten editions, from 1947 to 1956, Coppa d’Oro has been a race of pure speed. It was competed in one day, starting and ending in Cortina d’Ampezzo. The race became a myth thanks to the prestige of pilots, automobiles and to the unique beauty of the route, which has always been the same: 303,800 km in the middle of the Dolomiti Bellunesi.
 
This classic regularity race is the first appointment of the Italian Great Events Championship by ACI Sport, and will evolve inside the beautiful frame of the Dolomites, Unesco World Heritage Site.
 
The competition traditionally admits vehicles produced until 1971, although, this year, two additional classifications have been introduced: the Coppa d’Oro delle Dolomiti Legend, for cars produced from 1972 to 1990, and the Tributo Coppa d’Oro, for drivers of Grand Tourism cars produced from 1991.
