ACI RACING WEEKEND: THIRTY THOUSAND ATTEND OVER THREE DAYS
Families and motorsport enthusiasts flocked to the Autodromo Nazionale Monza for the final day of the ninth round of the ACI Racing Weekend season. From Friday to Sunday, attendance was estimated at around 30,000.
The action lived up to the expectations of the large crowd. In the most eagerly awaited race, the final round of the Italian GT3 Sprint Championship, victory went to the VRS Team Lamborghini Huracán, driven by Simone Riccitelli and British driver Georgi Dimitrov. However, German driver Jens Klingmann needed only a tenth-place finish to clinch the Italian title. He was at the wheel of the Ceccato Racing BMW M4 GT3 EVO, shared with Belgian driver Ugo De Wilde.
The E4 Championship title was decided in the very last race. In the second race, which opened Sunday’s programme, victory went to Indian driver Ary Bansal of US Racing.
The final race saw Finnish driver Luka Sammalisto (US Racing) take the top step of the podium, while the title went to British driver Kenzo Craigie (R-ACE GP), who finished third.
Sunday’s Gran Turismo Sprint GT Cup race was won by the Zanasi Racing Ferrari 296 Challenge, driven by Matteo Sartori and Mattia Simonini. The race was interrupted for more than half an hour following an accident at the Ascari chicane involving Poland’s Michail Bartoszuk, who was driving the MM Motorsport Lamborghini. However, it was cousins Matteo and Giacomo Pollini who celebrated the Italian title, driving the Lamborghini Huracán ST Evo 2 entered by their own team.
With the GT4 Italy title already secured by Maman and Sandrucci, victory went to the Speedy Eventos Toyota GR Supra GT4 Evo2, driven by Portuguese driver Tomas Guedes and Dutch driver Mees Houben.
The final race of the 2026 Italian Sport Prototypes Championship saw Poland’s Iwo Beszterda (Avelon Formula) claim his first victory in the category.
Finally, Massimo Ronconi and Giovanni Gulinelli were the first to cross the finish line in the Italian Historic Racing Championship, driving the Club 91 Porsche 935.
