The legendary Monza circuit is set to host an action-packed weekend as the GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS arrives with more than 130 cars competing across multiple categories. A total of 57 GT3 entries representing 10 manufacturers will headline the event, bringing some of the biggest names in international motorsport to the Temple of Speed.

Among the most anticipated drivers is nine-time motorcycle world champion Valentino Rossi, who will race the #46 BMW M4 GT3 EVO for Team WRT. Also attracting attention is Arthur Leclerc, brother of Formula 1 star Charles Leclerc, who will compete behind the wheel of an AF Corse Ferrari 296 GT3 EVO.

The support categories will add even more excitement throughout the weekend. The McLaren Trophy Europe opens its 2026 season at Monza with a 16-car grid, while the GT2 European Series powered by Pirelli features 21 entries. The GT4 European Series completes the impressive lineup with more than 40 cars from 10 different brands.

Fans attending the event will be able to enjoy a full entertainment experience both on and off the track. The Monza Circuit Shop, located near the Fangio Statue, will remain open throughout the weekend, offering official circuit merchandise and exclusive memorabilia.

The heart of the fan experience will be the Fanzone in the former museum area, designed for visitors of all ages. Attractions include a Kids Area, giant screens showing live race coverage, food stands, a Green Volley court powered by Vero Volley, a Pepsi Relax Area and live DJ sets scheduled throughout Saturday and Sunday.

Food and beverage services will be available around the circuit, including the Monza Circuit Café and several refreshment points located behind the main straight grandstands and near the Variante del Rettifilo area.

The weekend will also provide multiple opportunities for fans to meet the drivers through autograph sessions and meet-and-greet events inside the Fanzone. Additional access to the pitlane will be available on Saturday evening during the special Pit Walk session, where spectators can get closer to the teams and drivers.

Grid Walk ticket holders will have exclusive pre-race access to the track before both Saturday and Sunday races. Access will be granted through Gate 5 outside the paddock area, with dedicated wristbands available for collection at the Monza Circuit Shop.

Ahead of Sunday’s main race, scheduled to start at 3:30 PM, spectators in the Central Grandstand will take part in a special choreographed fan moment featuring Monza-branded flags to celebrate the start of the GT World Challenge Europe race.
