Vetture in pista a Imola durante il FIA WEC.

With the arrival of spring, the Motor Valley picks up the pace. The month of April 2026 promises to be one of the busiest of the year, with a calendar ranging from major international motorsport stages to days dedicated to training and rallies for enthusiasts.

Here are the main events not to be missed in the circuits of Emilia-Romagna:

World Endurance stops in Imola

The highlight event of the month is undoubtedly the return of the FIA WEC – World Endurance Championship. From April 17 to 19, the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari di Imola will host the 6 Hours of Imola. All eyes will be on the Hypercars from Ferrari, Toyota, and Cadillac in a challenge of speed and endurance that promises sparks on the legendary Santerno track.

The weekend of April 24-26, Imola doubles up with the ACI Racing Weekend, the first seasonal appointment bringing together the main national four-wheel championships.

Two wheels take center stage: from CIV to Pro Experience

For motorcycle lovers, April is a promise of entertainment. At the Misano World Circuit, on April 18, enthusiasts can live the dream of hitting the track with the champions of Noale thanks to the Aprilia Pro Experience. Also at Misano, from April 24 to 26, the CIV (Italian Speed Championship) kicks off, the top national stage for two-wheel talent.

At the Autodromo di Varano, engines warm up with the first round of the Trofei MOTOESTATE (April 18-19).

The Autodromo di Modena will instead host two sessions of the Riding School by Luca Pedersoli (April 6 and 26), ideal for those who want to refine their riding technique. The weekend of April 11-12, however, the scooter spectacle returns to set the Modena circuit on fire: the Trofei Malossi are arriving!

Festivals and rallies

Not just professional races, but also plenty of shared passion:

  • MXfive Ultimate Car Meet (April 11, Autodromo di Varano): the event dedicated to the Mazda MX-5 and the Japanese concept of Jinba Ittai, the perfect union between driver and car.

  • Ville Emiliane (April 12, Sassuolo): a gathering of dozens of prestigious sports cars exploring the region’s historic residences.
  • ACI Festival (April 26, Autodromo di Varano): a great motorsport party that will liven up the Parma circuit at the end of the month.
