The iconic Autodromo Nazionale Monza will host this weekend (October 17–19, 2025) the grand finale of the International GT Open, featuring the spectacular 500-kilometre race — the last and decisive round of a season that will go down to the wire.

The stage is set for a memorable conclusion: three crews separated by just 11 points, with the overall title still up for grabs. For the nineteenth time in the championship’s twenty-year history, the battle for the crown will be decided at the final round of one of Europe’s most prestigious GT series.

Reigniting the championship fight were Tommaso Mosca and Carl Bennett, who claimed their third victory of the season at Barcelona behind the wheel of the AF Corse Ferrari. That success revived the Italo-British duo’s title hopes, now just 11 points adrift of the championship leader, Hungary’s Levente Révész (Mercedes–Motopark), and six points behind the reigning champions, Simon Reicher (Austria) and Christopher Haase (Germany) in the Eastalent Racing Audi. In Barcelona, both rival crews had to settle for seventh and eighth place, leaving everything open ahead of Monza.

The Pro-Am and Am classes also promise intense battles on the legendary Monza circuit. In Pro-Am, Steve Jans and Aaron Walker (Mercedes–GetSpeed) arrive at the top of the standings, but with just a single point separating them from Valentin Pierburg and Dominik Baumann (Mercedes–SPS). In Am, Gino Forgione and Michele Rugolo (Ferrari–AF Corse), after scoring their eighth win of the season, hold a narrow four-point advantage over Mark Sansom (McLaren–Garage 59), who finished third in Barcelona alongside Charlie Hollings.

Also taking to the track at Monza will be the Euroformula Open (Formula 3), led by Tymek Kucharczyk (Poland, BVM Racing), ahead of Michael Shin (Korea, Motopark) by 23 points and Yevan David (Sri Lanka, Motopark), 28 points behind. The program also includes the GT Cup Europe—with Italy’s Luca Franca and Ian Rodriguez (Guatemala) leading the championship—and the GB3 series, the British single-make championship featuring the Tatuus MSV GB3-025 cars.

The International GT Open drivers will take to the track on Thursday for collective testing (3:35–4:35 p.m.); Friday will feature two free practice sessions (11:42 a.m.–12:42 p.m. and 4:12–5:12 p.m.); Saturday will see the third free practice (9:00–9:40 a.m.) and qualifying (11:35 a.m.–12:00 p.m. for Driver 1; 2:50–3:15 p.m. for Driver 2). The race will get underway on Sunday at 11:45 a.m.

Free admission (parking only on Saturday and Sunday). The Fan Zone will be open both days near the former Museum, close to the paddock, featuring food trucks, children’s activities, and a DJ set with Marco Regaz and Fede Cerve. On Sunday afternoon, the Cinisello Balsamo Civil Protection Dog Unit will also be present.
