Autodromo di Mores, Motorsport race track in Italy
The Autodromo di Mores, also named after Franco di Suni, is a 1,650-metre circuit in the Su Sassu locality near Mores, in the Metropolitan City of Sassari. Its asphalt is 12 to 14 metres wide, runs anticlockwise with nine bends (four right, five left), and is lined with grass verges and gravel run-off areas ending in tyre barriers. It can host 24 motorcycles and 20 cars.
The track was the idea of Sardinian driver and entrepreneur Uccio Magliona, designed by engineer Pier Luigi De Biasio with input from Magliona's son Omar, and built by the Magliona construction firm. Work began on 15 July 2000 and the circuit was inaugurated on 15 March 2003, making it one of Italy's most recent raceways. It is named after Marquis Franco di Suni, long president of the Automobile Club of Sassari, who founded the Alghero-Scala Piccada hill climb in 1955.
The track connects motorsport with local Sardinian traditions through displays of crafts and regional food at events. Visitors experience how the island integrates racing activities with its cultural identity.
The circuit lies at Su Sassu, near Mores, roughly halfway between the Alghero-Fertilia and Olbia-Costa Smeralda airports and within reach of Porto Torres harbour. The track runs anticlockwise, so spectators follow the nine corners in that direction. Grass verges line both sides of the asphalt and gravel runoff areas sit beyond them.
