Courses, conferences, debates, but above all promotion of sport among the very young. In Bono, on 4 and 5 May, the first edition of the "Centro Sardinia Minikart" will be held, a theoretical and practical awareness course dedicated to the very young.

It will be a "two days" that, in addition to promoting the sport-tourism combination, will engage the city of Bono in every respect, as explained by Nicola Spanu, deputy mayor and secretary of the committee San Raimondo 2019-Fedales 79 Bono: "From the administration municipal and Fedales there is a wide availability for the event that, for the first time, will be organized in Bono ”.

The training event, which will be held from 9 am in Piazza Belvedere, will attract many motor enthusiasts not only from Goceano but from all over Sardinia. "Surely there will be a very positive response from the inhabitants of Goceano," continues Spanu, "and in particular the very young. As deputy mayor, then on behalf of the municipal administration, we thank the Fedales79 and the associations that are working towards the realization of the event, namely the Barracellare Company of Bono, the Civil Protection and the Avos ".
Education and road safety, awareness courses dedicated to the very young, are the main themes of the Automobile Club of Italy and the Automobile Club Sassari that sponsors the event organized by Porto Cervo Racing.

"Prevention, with regard to road safety, road safety education and pedestrian education, is the most effective tool," says Giulio Pes of San Vittorio, president of the Automobile Club Sassari. "One of the mission of the Automobile Club is to make children, young people and the less young people aware of the rules. We are always available and supportive, "continues Pes di San Vittorio," to initiatives that offer awareness and prevention. We must teach children that we can run, but safely, thus respecting the rules of sport and good behavior, both on the track and on the street. The kids who dream of racing with go-karts and cars can do it through the paths that our Federation puts in place, such as safe driving courses and driving courses, all tools available to promote motor sport ”.

Among the various appointments included in the rich program, on Sunday 5 May, at 11.00 am, there will be a road safety awareness campaign for children and adults, of Porto Cervo Racing by Sandra Medda, speaker for the Scuderia.

"I am honored to have the opportunity to bring the road safety awareness campaign to Bono," says Sandra Medda, spokeswoman for the Scuderia Porto Cervo Racing, "none of our communities is unfortunately immune to the phenomenon of accidents and our role, supported in this event from the expertise on first aid of the Civil Protection, wants to show everything that is set in motion when the accident happened. Roadside assistance is a moral and legal duty, so we can be the first to have a fundamental role in helping in case of need. This is even fundamental in situations where you fight against the clock: calling for help may seem obvious, but knowing how to do it well can overturn a situation ".

On this occasion, the elementary road safety rules will be disclosed, accompanied by images and videos and, last but not least, it will be the occasion for a debate that will involve those present and the drivers of the Scuderia Porto Cervo Racing.

"Obviously prevention is a fundamental aspect," concludes Sandra Medda, "compliance with the rule can avoid so much trouble. It is better to consider the rule as a safe space than as a limit. As a Scuderia, we believe in the campaign to halve the victims of the road designed by the European Union between now and 2020. That is why we are bringing the message already among the very young, very attentive and critical of the behavior of adults on the street. At the moment our campaign is at the primary school of Arzachena ".

The "Centro Sardegna Minikart" project is carried out with the contribution of the sponsors and the "Autonomous Region of Sardinia Department of Public Education, Cultural Heritage, Information, Entertainment and Sport". The event, sponsored by the Automobile Club of Italy, in concert with the Automobile Club Sassari, is organized by Porto Cervo Racing in collaboration with G.T. Shardana Motorsport and the Municipality of Bono. For all guests and participants, the support of the local San Raimondo 2019-Fedales 79 Bono Committee will be fundamental and will take care of the reception during the event.
