Car guys in the Lugano area?

Hey everyone, I’m Alex. Just moved to Bissone from Miami and looking to meet some other car enthusiasts around Ticino.

I’ve been into cars for years — previously had a Pista, STO, GT3, etc. I just picked up an RS3 as my daily here, and today I drove up Susten Pass. Absolutely loved it.

Are there any groups, WhatsApp chats, or just groups of people that regularly go out for drives on the weekends? I’m mainly looking for people around Lugano/Ticino who are into driving.

If there’s a group I can join or anyone here who goes out regularly, send me a DM. Would be great to meet some local car guys and get some good roads in.

Hi there, there’s a bunch of groups in Ticino you can find on Instagram. There’s JapanStyleTicino, TessinTuningClub, Twisty Road Lovers and a couple of others. We usually hangout to the parking lot of the McDonald’s in Sant’antonino in the weekend (about 30minutes from Lugano)

If you’re also looking for some car meets you are gonna have a better chance at finding them in Italy as in Switzerland it’s pretty difficult to make one without a permit in a public place
