Santa Marina Stadium
The Moto Club Lonigo had previously raced speedway at the Hippodrome Municipal Park from 1947 to 1972[2] before moving to a new site in nearby Monticello di Fara, Sarego.The track known as La Favorita, off the Via Julia Divisione, was only a temporary solution for the club because they wanted a facility that would meet international regulations.Work began on the Santa Marina Stadium and it opened on the on 12 June 1977, hosting the semi-finals of the 1977 Speedway World Pairs Championship.[4] The Santa Marina stadium became the home of the World Championship round, known as the Speedway Grand Prix of Italy in 1996 and from 2005 to 2008.[6][7] In 2021, renovation costing in excess 280,000 euros took place in order to bring the stadium into line with regulatory adaptation that also allowed the venue to be used by other parties and not exclusively speedway and it also set a new capacity of 5,000 instead of 8,000.
