DIFFERENT TERRITORIES, SAME PASSION 9, 10 and 11 October 2020 Autodromo Pergusa Via Nazionale - 94010 Pergusa (EN).

A great event in the name of tradition and innovation: these are the characteristics that unite the competition with the philosophy of the Cusumano winery, which for this reason wants to support the development of the Florio Cup in Sicily.

«It is an honor - says Diego Cusumano - to be part of this extraordinary event, a real concentration of tradition, style, elegance and commitment. Although we operate in different territories, we are sure to share the same passion with Coppa Florio 2020 ».

On 9, 10 and 11 October the Sicilian race will take place inside the renewed Autodrome that surrounds Lake Pergusa for almost five kilometers and will be valid for the 24H SERIES Europe and, at the same time, will contaminate the entire territory with many initiatives.
