Simon Reicher and Christopher Haase, driving the Audi R8 LMS GT3 EVO II for Eastalent Racing, will start tomorrow from pole position in the GT Open 500 at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza, which will conclude the 2025 International GT Open<\/strong> season.
The Austrian-German duo (1’43.834) will be joined on the front row by championship leader, Hungarian driver Levente R\u00e9v\u00e9sz (Mercedes AMG GT3 EVO, Team Motopark), who is paired with German Maximilian G\u00f6tz (their best time: 1’44.122).
Starting from the second row with the third-fastest time is the Ferrari 296 GT3 (AF Corse) driven by Tommaso Mosca and Thailand\u2019s Carl Bennett (1’44.144).<\/p>\n

Essentially, all the championship contenders will start in the top three: Reicher-Haase are only 5 points behind R\u00e9v\u00e9sz, while Mosca-Bennett trail the Hungarian by 11 points. The 500 km race (2h55′ plus one lap) will therefore decide who takes the title.<\/p>\n

As for the support series, Saturday at Monza already featured several races.
In the final race of the day, held at dusk, Polish driver Tymek Kucharczyk (BVM Racing) won race 2 (16 laps in 27’57.019) by just one-thousandth of a second ahead of Sri Lankan Yevan David (Team Motopark), and by 70 thousandths over American Everett Stack (Team Motopark), clinching the Euroformula Open<\/strong> title. Earlier, Stack had won race 1 (16 laps in 27’42.318), finishing ahead of teammate Fernando Barrichello, son of former Ferrari F1 driver Rubens Barrichello, who was 1.090 seconds behind. Kucharczyk was third, 1.375 seconds off the lead.<\/p>\n

In GB3,<\/strong> Australian Alex Ninovic (Rodin Motorsport) claimed his ninth victory of the season, crossing the line at the Temple of Speed ahead of fellow Australians Patrick Heuzenroeder (Xcel Motorsport) and Gianmarco Pradel (Rodin Motorsport), who finished 1.613 and 3.240 seconds behind respectively.
Ninovic completed a shortened race (10 laps due to a multi-car crash between the first chicane and Curvone) in 18’30.358.<\/p>\n

Victory in the GT Cup Europe<\/strong> went to Portuguese driver Gon\u00e7alo Fernandes and Belgian Lars Zaenen (Porsche 992 GT3 Cup, Q1-trackracing), who completed the 27 laps in 50’40.791. Their teammates Stienes Longin and Nicolas Saelens finished second, 3.553 seconds behind. In third place were Pietro Armanni and Ludovico Longoni (Porsche 992 GT3 Cup, ZRS Motorsport), crossing the line 5.203 seconds off the lead.<\/p>\n

The Clio Cup Series<\/strong> was won by Frenchman Anthony Jurado (Rangoni Corse), who narrowly beat compatriot Alex Finkelstein (GPA Racing) by just 50 thousandths of a second. Gabriele Torelli (Rangoni Corse) finished third in a race of 11 laps, completed in 29’50.466.<\/p>\n

Sunday\u2019s schedule kicks off with the second qualifying session for the GT Europe Cup (8:30\u20138:50 AM), followed by Clio Cup Series qualifying (9:00\u20139:20 AM).
Next comes race 2 of GB3 (9:45\u201310:15 AM), and race 3 of Euroformula Open (10:40\u201311:15 AM). At 11:45 AM, the main event of the weekend begins: the 500 km race that will conclude the International GT Open season. In the afternoon: race 2 of GT Europe Cup (3:35\u20134:25 PM), race 3 of GB3 (4:50\u20135:20 PM), and race 2 of Clio Cup Series (5:45\u20136:15 PM).<\/p>\n

Admission is free (only parking fees apply). At the Fanzone, near the former museum and not far from the paddock, visitors will find food trucks, children\u2019s activities, and a DJ set with Marco Regaz and Fede Cerve. In the afternoon, the Cinisello Balsamo Civil Protection Dog Unit (Gruppo Cinofilo Cinisellese della Protezione Civile) from Milan will also be present.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
