South Tyrol Bans Organized Motorsport, Covering Roughly 100 Road Sections and Areas Above 1,600m Altitude

Publishing an official list of affected sections shows this is a pretty serious regulation.

What exactly counts as "organized motorsport" besides things like rallies and races?

Italy's always had this image of wildly varying attitudes region by region when it comes to local riding restrictions.

South Tyrol has a lot of mountain passes around the Dolomites, so this is going to hit rallies and hillclimb-type events hard.

They frame it as environmental and noise concerns, but given it's an Alpine tourist region, scenic preservation is probably a big part of it too.

About 100 sections plus a blanket ban above 1,600m elevation — that's a regulation with a pretty wide reach.
