I think that unless you're going to focus on other aspects of it (Notable names, cultural impact, etc.) it should be titled History of Motorsport in Italy. I don't think you have to broaden your scope if you don't want to but it would help the reader have a more well rounded understanding of the topic. From someone who knew nothing about the topic beforehand the article does a great job of creating a foundation of knowledge which is usually the point of a Wikipedia article. The only thing I would say is don't be afraid to be more direct with the phrasing, so for example instead of "One of the first instances of Italy's involvement in motorsport was the 1904 Gordon Bennett Cup", something like "Italy first became involved in motorsport at the 1904 Bennett Cup."

I agree that the article could be titled History of Motorsport in Italy since that seems to be the main focus of the article. I think this article provides a really good understanding of the topic even if the reader has no prior knowledge about it. The way you organized the article by year was helpful as a reader and I would continue the use of subheadings for the years (ex: for the 1920s sections you broke it down into a paragraph specifically on the Italian grand prix and then a paragraph on other notable events). These subheadings are useful since it breaks up what would have been a very long paragraph, making it very readable. Maryia17 (talk) 14:12, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
