4x4 competition - King of Italy 2015

Made in Italy!

Grip Motorsports and Ultra4 Europe created this off-road event in Varano de Melegari.

Previously called the "King of the Mountains", the competition takes place in the rocky hills of Monte Capuccio between the river Taro and Ceno. A very demanding area where participants and vehicles can show what they are capable of!

It’s a weekend for 4x4 fans both spectators and competitors. You can check out the exhibition stands and taste some of the local products and more! All in a great atmosphere!

A bit of history

Ultra4 Europewho organise the competitions, reproduce the world-renowned American King of the Hammers event.

It is not only an extreme competition, Ultra4 Racing is a new style of competition in the world of off-roading; a discipline that is gaining more and more fans in Europe.

The strength of this discipline lies mainly in the attention paid to the preparation of the 4x4 vehicles and in the strength of the team. Both the driver and co-driver need to be at ease in the fast sections and in the technical sections, where overcoming the obstacles often requires a winch.

Program

· Sunday, June 21st: Competition and prize giving.
