MONZA HOSTS THE LAMBORGHINI WORLD FINALS: GROUP TESTING GETS UNDERWAY TOMORROW
For the first time in its history, the Autodromo Nazionale Monza will host the Lamborghini World Finals. The 13th edition of the event will get underway in earnest this weekend, but starting tomorrow, the Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 cars will take to the track at the Temple of Speed for the collective test sessions.
Before the World Finals, Monza will host the sixth and final round of the three continental championships: Europe, Asia and North America. It promises to be a particularly eagerly awaited weekend, with several titles still up for grabs and battles set to keep fans on the edge of their seats right up to the final chequered flag.
In the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe, the Pro class is finely balanced. Just one point separates the DL Racing pairing of Kevin Gilardoni and Simone Iaquinta from the Oregon Team duo of Patrik Fraboni and Silas Rytter. With such a narrow margin, the final round of the season at the Brianza circuit will be decisive.
The battle for the Pro class title is also still wide open in the North American and Asian series, adding to the anticipation ahead of the Monza event. Each of the three continental championships will feature two races, both lasting 45 minutes.
The Lamborghini Super Trofeo World Finals programme will continue on Saturday, 24 October, with qualifying sessions determining the starting grids for the four final races. All four races will last 45 minutes, with two dedicated to the Pro and Pro-Am classes and the other two to the Am and Lamborghini Cup classes.
Admission to the circuit will be free, with parking the only chargeable service. Access to the Paddock, however, will require a free ticket, available exclusively through TicketOne at the following link: https://www.ticketone.it/artist/lamborghini . For safety reasons, access to the Paddock may be restricted if visitor numbers are high.
The Fan Zone will offer visitors even more to enjoy, with a relaxation area, food trucks and a dedicated area for younger fans. On Sunday, from 12 noon to 3 pm, a DJ set will also provide the soundtrack to the final day of the event.

Set to make its debut in the 2026/27 season, the GEN4 can deliver up to 600 kW (approximately 815 hp) in ATTACK MODE, reach speeds of over 335 km/h (208 mph), accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 1.8 seconds and reach 200 km/h in just 4.4 seconds. Another key innovation is its permanent all-wheel-drive system.

“Racing on the world’s most famous circuit and having the opportunity to see your favourite drivers in such a setting is a privilege that does not come along very often,” says Maela Vedovati, head of the organising team.

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.”
