> With registrations finalized, Scuderia Piave Jolly Club prepares for the 37th Coppa Piave Revival on September 27, serving as the single-race UNVS National Regularity Championship.

With document processing wrapping up following the September 15 registration deadline, the 37th Coppa Piave Revival moves into its operational countdown ahead of Sunday, September 27, 2026. Organised by Scuderia Automobilistica Piave Jolly Club, the tourist regularity event serves as the sole single-race national title decider for the UNVS National Regularity Championship for modern and historic automobiles while maintaining its slot on the official ACI Sport National Sporting Calendar. Grounded in a motorsport lineage originally held between 1949 and 1978, the 2026 edition introduces a thoroughly restructured 140-kilometer-plus route through the heart of Treviso.

The revised layout follows the course of the Piave River through six municipalities in the Marca Trevigiana: Spresiano, Maserada sul Piave, Cimadolmo, Mareno di Piave, Santa Lucia di Piave, and Susegana. Split into two distinct stages across the mid-Treviso plain, the race balances timing precision with regional engagement, anchored by organizational hubs at Spresiano's Centro Sportivo Lago Le Bandie and the Lungolago Thai-Si Hotel & Royal Thai Spa.

## Route Architecture and Territory in the Marca Trevigiana

President of Scuderia Automobilistica Piave Jolly Club, Patrizia Capuzzo, highlighted the structural refresh guiding this year's route design. “With the opening of entries, the Coppa Piave Revival really comes to life,” Capuzzo noted during the entry launch. “Over the past few months, we have worked to build a deeply renewed edition, capable of enhancing the Piave and the territory that surrounds it. Now we await the crews who, as every year, will arrive from all over Italy to share a day of sport, passion, and discovery of the Marca Trevigiana.”

By spreading over 140 kilometers across six municipal jurisdictions, organizers have challenged navigators to maintain pace rhythm over varied local road features. The two-stage design creates technical transitions between Stage 1, departing from the Thai-Si Hotel lakefront, and Stage 2, restarting from the Le Bandie sports grounds before finishing back on the Thai-Si shoreline for official scoring.

## Field Categories, Entry Structure, and Vehicle Regulations

The fixture operates under strict technical classifications set by ACI Sport. Modern vehicles produced from 2001 to the present day compete across three designated groupings. Historic entries are capped at a maximum of 35 cars, admitted under specific ACI Sport regulations to maintain historical balance on the road.

To encourage younger drivers and broader participation, Scuderia Automobilistica Piave Jolly Club structured entry pricing with targeted incentives. Standard team registration was priced at 199 euros, alongside a reduced 150-euro rate dedicated to Under-30 crews (where both driver and co-driver are under 30 years old) and all-female crews. Competitors finalized entries electronically via the ACI Sport portal and submitted required documentation to *coppapiave@piavejolly.com* prior to the deadline.

## Evidence-Led Competitive Forecast: Precision Timing and Route Dynamics

In tourist regularity rallying, performance centers on exact execution against target times down to fractions of a second rather than flat-out speed. With the UNVS National Championship decided strictly on this single event, competitive separation begins during the instrument calibration window on State Road 13 (SS13).

**Tactical Pattern:** Experienced crews will focus heavily on calibrating onboard Tripmaster equipment along the designated 1.000-kilometer sector on SS13 (km 26.200 to km 27.200) before entering Parc Partenza at 13:00. Because the 140km course weaves across six distinct municipal road networks, teams that align wheel calibration precisely with the organizer's baseline roadbook distance will minimize cumulative distance drift over subtle junction changes.

**Decisive Matchup:** The tight 15-minute turnaround between Stage 1 arrival at Le Bandie (15:41) and Stage 2 departure (15:56) marks the operational focal point of the rally. Navigators who accurately adjust for tire pressure variations caused by changing afternoon ambient temperatures along the Piave plain will hold a clear advantage during Stage 2 timing trials.

**Counter-Case and Uncertainty:** The primary variable challenging established favorites is the completely redesigned route. Running through Spresiano, Maserada sul Piave, Cimadolmo, Mareno di Piave, Santa Lucia di Piave, and Susegana eliminates historical course knowledge. Unexpected local traffic or quick navigation calls across unfamiliar rural junctions could penalize crews relying on past experience, opening the door for disciplined co-drivers who adapt quickly to new roadbook calls.
