Around 40,000 signatures were collected to prevent Porsche's expansion plans. The southern Italian region of Apulia now wants to rethink “some aspects” of the project.
Porsche is involved in high-performance testing of new vehicles on the site, which covers more than 700 hectares. The car manufacturer's plans to expand the test track are causing dissatisfaction among environmentalists and residents.. Porsche says it wants to spend around 450 million euros on the expansion. Existing routes are to be renovated and new routes built.
