WEC HEATS UP AT MONZA: WORLD ENDURANCE CHAMPION FERRARI 499P ON DISPLAY AT MILAN CENTRAL STATION
The Ferrari 499P arrives in the heart of Milan to bring the world of Endurance racing closer to the general public and build anticipation ahead of the grand finale of the 2026 FIA World Endurance Championship, scheduled to take place at Monza from 6 to 8 November.
From 1 to 7 November, the Maranello-built Hypercar will be on display at Milan Central Station, thanks to a collaboration between FIA WEC, Autodromo Nazionale Monza, Ferrari, Grandi Stazioni Retail and Havas Media Network, which has overseen communications and organised the initiative through Havas Play.
Two stations featuring Le Mans Ultimate simulators, the official FIA WEC video game, will be set up alongside the car, allowing visitors to experience the excitement of Endurance racing first-hand.
On Wednesday 4 November at 12:00 noon, visitors will also have the opportunity to meet 2025 FIA WEC World Champions Antonio Giovinazzi and Antonio Fuoco, Ferrari 499P drivers and winners of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2023 and 2024 respectively.

The initiative will be supported by a DOOH campaign beneath the Galleria delle Carrozze, featuring digital screens dedicated to the event and promoting tickets for the Monza race.
The Ferrari 499P, which marked the return of the Maranello-based manufacturer to the top class of the World Championship, has secured three consecutive victories at Le Mans from 2023 to 2025 and eight overall wins in the FIA WEC. In 2025, it also claimed both World Championship titles: Manufacturers' and Drivers'.
he season will conclude with the 6 Hours of Monza, the final round of the championship, taking place from 6 to 8 November at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza. The race, which replaces the event originally scheduled to take place in Bahrain, will be decisive in determining the Hypercar and LMGT3 titles.

It is a circuit that has already delivered some incredible WEC races and provides the perfect setting for a high-stakes battle that will decide the championship titles. And what better place than Milano Centrale, one of Europe's busiest railway hubs and a venue that is constantly buzzing with activity, to kick off the final race week of the year? We would like to thank Ferrari, Grandi Stazioni Retail, Autodromo Nazionale Monza and Havas Media Network for their collaboration on this exciting initiative. We look forward to bringing the FIA WEC to an even wider audience, both on and off the track!”

As the final round of the 2026 FIA World Endurance Championship, it will be a special weekend for Monza, and we look forward to welcoming fans and motorsport enthusiasts to the circuit.”
Alessandro Tavallini, Chief Media Officer at Grandi Stazioni Retail
“The strength of initiatives like this lies in their ability to bring together experience and communication. In a high-traffic railway station such as Milano Centrale, the physical presence of the Ferrari 499P and the support of the media installations naturally complement one another, amplifying the impact of the event and audience engagement while offering brands an ecosystem in which engagement, audience reach and the quality of the experience generate mutual value.”

We have designed an experience that visitors can enjoy first-hand, bringing travellers, motorsport fans and curious onlookers closer to the excitement ahead of the grand finale at Monza. This is the true value of live experiences: creating authentic connections between people and the stories they love.”

FIA RENEWS THREE-STAR ENVIRONMENTAL ACCREDITATION FOR THE CIRCUIT
The FIA has confirmed the renewal of the Three-Star Environmental Accreditation for Autodromo Nazionale Monza.
The recognition follows a review of the documentation submitted by the circuit, which highlighted the robustness of its environmental management system and the strategy adopted to continuously improve its environmental performance.
The documentation assessed included the ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 20121:2024 certifications, relating to environmental management and the sustainable management of events, respectively, as well as the Sustainable Event Management Policy, the ESG Impact Report 2025, environmental objectives and related improvement programmes, internal audit records, greenhouse gas emissions inventories, and documentation relating to supply chain management.
The FIA assessment highlights Autodromo Nazionale Monza’s strong commitment to environmental protection and sustainability, underpinned by a structured system of objectives, performance monitoring, internal audits and stakeholder engagement.
A particularly significant aspect concerns the development of the greenhouse gas emissions inventory, which takes into account Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, as well as the relevant Scope 3 categories. This approach makes it possible to broaden the monitoring of the climate impact of the circuit’s activities and identify further areas for improvement.
The continuous improvement process also includes initiatives focused on energy and fuel consumption, waste management, sustainable mobility and biodiversity.
“The confirmation of the FIA Three-Star accreditation,” said President Giuseppe Redaelli, “represents further recognition of the path undertaken by Autodromo Nazionale Monza towards an increasingly structured and sustainable management of its activities and of the major motorsport events hosted at the Temple of Speed.”
