Pescara holds the honor of being the longest circuit to ever host a points paying Grand Prix. At 25.8km or 16 miles, the lap at Pescara was mighty, but the circuit and its famed "Coppa Acerbo" are more than that simple statistic. A true throwback into the glory days of Grand Prix race cars on open roads, the ‘57 Pescara Grand Prix was a revival and swansong of a unique brand of motorsports, unlikely in its day, and never to return.

Now with Italo Track's wonderful version of the circuit we can relive a little bit of what made Pescara so special!
