A WORLD CLASS ACI RACING WWEEKEND IN MONZA

Temperatures are rising and a scorching weekend is expected at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza. The fourth ACI Racing Weekend of 2025 is ready to hit the track at the historic Monza circuit with 5 categories and 12 races scheduled across Saturday and Sunday. The highlight will be Sunday afternoon with the 3-hour race of the Italian GT Endurance Championship, starting at 2:30 PM. But the intense Monza program will also feature touring cars from the FIA TCR World Tour, single-seaters from the Italian F4 Championship, the TCR Italy series, and the Wolf prototypes from the Italian Sport Prototypes Championship. A number of initiatives are also planned for the weekend, starting on Thursday with the FIA Girls On Track event organized by the FIA Women in Motorsport Commission.

Engines roar once again in Brianza for the Italian GT Championship, which returns to the track for the second round of the Endurance series. After the season opener in Misano, the championship gears up for another high-profile weekend with 41 crews on the grid, split between GT3 and GT Cup classes, representing 7 manufacturers and featuring a diverse international mix of drivers and teams. In the top class, the Audi R8 LMS from Tresor Attempto Racing, driven by Mazzola-Rauer-Cazzaniga and fresh off a strong win on the Adriatic coast, will be aiming to consolidate its championship lead. However, the Audi trio will face stiff competition, starting with Denes-Cola-Guidetti (Lamborghini Huracan GT3 Evo2), who finished a solid second in Misano, and their Audi counterparts from Haas Racing Team—Jackson-Azzam-Detry—who finished third overall in the opener and currently lead the GT3 PRO-AM standings.
The GT Cup class features 18 cars divided into two Divisions. In the 1st Division PRO-AM, the AF Corse Ferrari 296 Challenge driven by Gai-Fontana, winners at Misano, will be the team to watch. In the 2nd Division PRO-AM, the SP Racing Porsche 992 GT3 Cup, driven by Piria-Russo, leads the standings.

There will be 40 Tatuus Formula 4 cars, equipped with Pirelli tires, ready to battle it out this weekend for the third round of the seven-event season of the Italian F.4 Championship. The series, promoted by ACI Sport and WSK Promotion, sees the title fight intensifying with Kean Nakamura-Berta, a Slovak-Japanese driver from Prema Racing, leading the standings thanks to five consecutive wins in the opening rounds. Behind him is teammate Sebastian Wheldon, son of the late Dan “Lionheart” Wheldon, who has two victories and is currently Nakamura-Berta’s closest rival. Also joining the title fight is Brazilian driver Gabriel Gomez from US Racing, who made a strong showing at Vallelunga with one win and two podiums, moving him up to third in the overall standings.
At the Temple of Speed, the championship returns to its traditional format: three 30-minute + 1 lap races, with all drivers on track simultaneously.

The Kumho FIA TCR World Tour makes its debut at the Temple of Speed, following in the footsteps of past global touring car series that raced at Monza up until 2017. The third round of the season comes just one week after Valencia, where Yann Ehrlacher scored a double win and now leads the championship ahead of Esteban Guerrieri. The top-tier TCR series will feature two races at Monza—Saturday at 3:10 PM and Sunday at 11:40 AM. The FIA TCR World Tour will also host a Meet & Greet session on Saturday at 5 PM in the Fanzone, located at the former museum area.

The third round of the TCR Italy championship also takes place at Monza, with 20 cars in the Sequential class and 17 in DSG. The battle between Nic Taylor (Audi RS3 LMS, PMA) and Nicola Baldan (also in an Audi RS3 LMS, Aikoa) resumes, with only three points separating them (162 to 159). Attention is also on Alex Ley (Hyundai Elantra N, BRC), who returned to victory at Vallelunga.
In the DSG class, another family duel is expected between Eric Brigliadori and Mattia Roccadelli, both driving Cupras for SF Squadra Corse. Challengers include Mattia Lancellotti (Audi, Planet Motorsport), currently second in the standings, and Gustavo Sandrucci (Audi, Casals Motorsport), who won Race 2 at Vallelunga.

The Italian Sport Prototypes Championship also returns for its third round with 15 cars on the grid. Making his debut is Daniele Pialorsi (Bad Wolves), born in 1982 from Brescia. Spotlight on Simone Bianco, who leads the standings after three wins in four races and will compete for the first time on his home track. The 17-year-old from Brianza, driving for Avelon Formula, will face the usual tough competition, including veteran Davide Uboldi (Emotion Motorsport), second in the standings, and a group of talented peers, among whom Romanian driver Victor Ionescu stood out during recent Monza testing sessions.

The Fanzone will be active on Saturday and Sunday—a space dedicated to fun and entertainment, featuring a kids area, food trucks with a chill zone, DJ sets, and a special Meet & Greet with Kumho FIA TCR World Tour drivers on Saturday at 5 PM.

Free entry to available grandstands and paddock. Public parking will be available in lots P8 and P9 on Saturday and Sunday with the following rates, payable on site: Cars €15 per day; Motorcycles €5 per day; Minibuses €30 per day; Buses €50 per day
