Welcome to the world of endurance racing for GT and Touring cars. Inaugural race of the Mugello 2022 sports calendar with more than 50 entries from over 35 different teams and representing 16 different nations.
The Hankook 12H MUGELLO is the first European round of the 2022 24H SERIES season (the season opener was at the Dubai Autodrome in January). After Mugello, there are four further European rounds - Spa-Francorchamps, Hockenheimring, Portimao and Barcelona - that will crown the European champions for drivers and teams.
Teams and drivers are also competing for the Championship of the Continents based on results scored at the 24H DUBAI (January), the best result from any of the European races, and the season-closing Hankook 24H SEBRING
