GRAN PREMIO STORICO D’ITALIA, FIRST EDITION OF THE EVENT TO BE HELD AT MUGELLO IN 2026
Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello, 24 October 2025 - The Gran Premio Storico d’Italia, an innovative event that will take place next year at the same circuit in Tuscany, was presented at the 2025 Finali Mondiali Ferrari, currently underway at the Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello. The first edition of the event will be organised from 2 to 4 October 2026: over 200 cars are expected on the track, including more than 70 Formula 1 single-seaters that competed between the 1960s and early 2000s. Tickets on sale will give access to both the grandstands and the paddock.
The Gran Premio Storico d’Italia was conceived to celebrate Italy’s rich motor racing heritage, in particular that linked to Ferrari. Organised under the authority of the Automobile Club d’Italia (ACI), the event will take place in the heart of Tuscany, on the circuit owned by the Maranello manufacturer.
The Gran Premio Storico d’Italia aims to become a must-attend event on the international historic racing calendar. The project has been entrusted to HVM Racing – the leading organiser of historic events in France, with more than 100 circuit events to its credit, including the Grand Prix de France Historique, which welcomed over 100,000 spectators in 2025 – and will coordinate the sporting aspects and promotion of the event, in close partnership with the Autodromo del Mugello.
The theme. This first edition will pay tribute to a legendary decade in Scuderia Ferrari’s history, from 1996 to 2006, thanks to the support of the Maranello-based company. A period that saw the Prancing Horse compete with single-seaters that wrote the history of the Formula 1 World Championship, entrusted to drivers who became racing legends: from Michael Schumacher to Eddie Irvine, from Rubens Barrichello to Felipe Massa. A decade in which Ferrari achieved 87 victories, 5 drivers’ world titles and 6 constructors’ titles.
The format. Several single-seaters from that era will be gathered at Mugello for outstanding exhibitions and demonstrations, some brought to the track by drivers with Formula 1 racing experience, immersing spectators in the unique atmosphere of that golden age.
The Gran Premio Storico d’Italia will offer an exceptionally rich sporting line-up, retracing more than half a century of single-seater history, from the 1950s to the 2000s.
Seven international series. The cars taking to the track will be grouped into seven different categories: Masters Racing Legends F1 (1966–1985), cars equipped with 3-litre engines – the Gran Premio Storico d’Italia will host the European final round of the Masters F1 Championship; F2 Classic Interseries (1967–1978), the only series dedicated to former Formula 2 cars – without ground effect – powered by 1600 or 2000 cc engines; F3 Classic Interseries (1971–1984), bringing together Formula 3 cars that enjoyed their heyday between the 1970s and early 1980s.
Also on track will be the Historic Formula Junior (“Lurani Trophy”; 1958–1963), which replaced the 500cc Formula 3 as a stepping stone to Formula 1. Designed by Italian Count Johnny Lurani, these cars were equipped with 1.0 or 1.1-litre production engines and gearboxes mounted on miniature Grand Prix chassis; HGPCA (Historic Grand Prix Cars Association; pre-1966), founded in 1979 with the aim of perpetuating the spectacle of Grand Prix cars, both front- and rear-engined; Historic F3 – 1000cc (1964–1970), open to all F3 1000cc ‘screamer’ cars, the first generation of Formula 3 cars that made their mark on international motor racing history in the 1960s; Masters Endurance Legends (1995–2016), welcoming all cars that were eligible to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans (Sport Prototipi and GT) and other major endurance races.
Mugello Circuit. Opened in 1974 in the Tuscan hills, in the province of Florence, the circuit in its current configuration measures 5.245 kilometres and includes 15 corners. Since 1988, it has been owned by Ferrari, which regularly uses it as a dedicated test track. In 2021, it became the world’s most sustainable permanent circuit, a recognition that highlights its commitment to sustainable development, technological innovation and harmonious integration into its surroundings. It was also recognised as the ‘greenest circuit’ in 2023 and 2024.
Experience: grandstands and paddock. The public will have unique opportunities to get up close to the cars that have written the history of motorsport. With a standard admission ticket, all spectators will have a reserved seat in the grandstand and will have access to several other areas of the circuit. Furthermore, a ticket that also gives access to the paddock can be purchased: in this case, enthusiasts will be able to enjoy dedicated experiences in the F1 exhibition area, take part in driver autograph sessions, and enter the entertainment village – where an area with driving simulators will be set up (the pass for the F1 Grid Walk will be sold separately). Finally, with a VIP ticket, the experience will be further enriched with extra content including access to the Driver’s Club and Premium Hospitality services, and it will also be possible to take part in Hot Lap sessions and guided paddock tours.
Tickets will give access to the event for three days (Friday to Sunday) or for a single day; access to the F1 Grid Walk can be purchased. Dedicated information will be published on the granpremiostorico.com and mugellocircuit.com websites.
Antonello Coletta, Global Head of Ferrari Endurance and Corse Clienti: “We are celebrating a period of particular importance in the history of Scuderia Ferrari, the 1996-2006 decade, which is unforgettable thanks to the contribution of exceptional people and extraordinary drivers of pure talent, like Michael Schumacher, who began his experience with the Prancing Horse precisely in 1996, inaugurating a season rich in success.”
Paolo Poli, CEO & Managing Director of Mugello Circuit: "It is an honour to host the inaugural Gran Premio Storico d’Italia, an event that pays tribute to the heritage of the Tuscan track — from the first races held since 1914 on the Historic Mugello Road Circuit to the modern era of Formula 1."
Geronimo La Russa, newly elected ACI President: “The Italian Grand Prix has been a mark of excellence since 1921 — an event created, developed, and safeguarded by ACI and the Automobile Club Milano, turning it into a world-class institution. The Historic Italian Grand Prix is certain to enjoy great success, thanks also to the partners involved — starting with Ferrari, the manufacturer that, with its 20 victories, has won the Italian Grand Prix more times than any other team. This event marks the beginning of a wonderful sporting journey, to which ACI will always contribute its full support.”
Laurent Vallery-Masson, CEO of HVM Racing: "To truly understand and fully appreciate modern Formula 1, one must delve into its history and the key stages of its evolution. The Gran Premio Storico d’Italia is dedicated to celebrating this exceptional motorsport heritage by offering a major event that is both spectacular, unifying, and accessible to all."
FERRARI LIGHTS UP MUGELLO: THE FINALI MONDIALI RETURN FROM 21 TO 26 OCTOBER
The Mugello International Circuit prepares to host, for the eighteenth time, the eagerly awaited spectacle of the Finali Mondiali, a week-long event (from 21 to 26 October) in which the unbroken thread of Ferrari passion connects the thrill of the track with a rich calendar of activities celebrating the sporting history of the Prancing Horse and the successes of the latest season, marking the conclusion of the Corse Clienti activities.
At the Tuscan circuit, on Thursday 23 and Friday 24 October, spectators will witness the decisive battles of the Ferrari Challenge Europe and North America series, which will crown this season’s champions ahead of the Finali Mondiali races on Sunday 26 October, awarding world titles in the four classes of the Maranello manufacturer’s more than thirty-year-old single-make series. The curves of the Scarperia track will also host sessions of Ferrari’s exclusive non-competitive programmes, from F1 Clienti and Sport Prototipi Clienti to the Club Competizioni GT and the XX Programme, which this year celebrates its twentieth anniversary.
A total of 117 cars will take to the 5,245-metre Tuscan circuit, joined by more than 40 additional models on display in the exhibition area, showcasing some of the most beautiful and significant Ferraris in motorsport history.
As tradition dictates, the Mugello Circuit will once again open its grandstands to Ferrari employees and Ferrari Club members, while all fans and enthusiasts will enjoy free access to the Prato area from Thursday 23 to Sunday 26 October.
Ferrari Challenge Europe
The 33rd edition of the European series, one of the longest-running single-make championships, has so far delivered only one verdict ahead of the Scarperia event. Thanks to a season marked by consistent results, Hendrik Viol (Scuderia Praha Racing) secured the Trofeo Pirelli Am title at Spa-Francorchamps in September. The standings in the other classes, however, remain wide open.
In the Trofeo Pirelli, the duel continues between two young Swiss drivers, Felix Hirsiger (Ineco Reparto Corse RAM) and Jasin Ferati (Emil Frey Racing), who have fought head-to-head all season. After the Belgian round, the gap between them is down to just eight points in Hirsiger’s favour, setting up two thrilling 30-minute races in Tuscany.
In the Coppa Shell, Italy’s Manuela Gostner (Ineco Reparto Corse RAM) holds a more comfortable 27-point lead over John Dhillon (Formula Racing) and 29 points over Oscar Ryndziewicz (Kessel Racing), both of whom shared victories in the two races at Spa and will be aiming to overturn the standings.
In the Coppa Shell Am, Sven Schömer (Penske Hamburg Motorsport) holds a narrow 10-point advantage, thanks to a double win in Belgium by his compatriot and main rival Jan Sandmann. With a 34-point deficit, Andreas König (Emil Frey Racing) is not yet mathematically out of contention.
After Wednesday’s qualifying sessions, the first races are scheduled for Thursday 23 October, starting at 10:15 with Coppa Shell, 12:05 with Trofeo Pirelli and Trofeo Pirelli Am, and 16:45 with Coppa Shell Am.
Race 2 of Coppa Shell Am will take place on Friday 24 October at 12:05, followed at 14:55 by Trofeo Pirelli and Trofeo Pirelli Am, and at 16:45 by Coppa Shell.
Ferrari Challenge North America
All titles in the North American series remain to be decided, with the final two races taking place at Mugello. In the Trofeo Pirelli, it will likely be a two-way battle between Massimo Perrina (Ferrari of Seattle), with seven victories this season, and Dylan Medler (The Collection), who has also competed in the European series. Roberto Perrina (Ferrari of Seattle) remains mathematically in contention and will not settle for a supporting role.
In the Trofeo Pirelli Am, Brad Fauvre (Ferrari of San Francisco) will aim to seal the title by defending his 47-point leadover Sebastian Mascaro (Ferrari of Central Florida). In the Coppa Shell, the duel is between Mitchel Green (Ferrari of Westlake) and Yahn Bernier (Ferrari of Seattle), with Gary Ott (Ferrari Philadelphia) still mathematically in the hunt. Among the Am drivers, the fight is even tighter: only three points separate leader Gabe Hrib (Ferrari of Atlanta) from Michael Owens (Ferrari of Alberta), while Louis Flory (Ferrari of Houston) remains within reach.
Race 1 of the North American series will take place on Thursday 23 October at 14:55, and Race 2 on Friday 24 October at 10:15.
Finali Mondiali
Once both championships conclude, the focus will shift to the Finali Mondiali races, which will crown the 2025 season champions. The starting grids will be decided by qualifying sessions on Saturday 25 October.
On Sunday, the green flag will drop at 9:00 for the Coppa Shell Am race, at 10:10 for Coppa Shell, and at 11:45 for Trofeo Pirelli and Trofeo Pirelli Am.
Ferrari Show
After the Finali Mondiali races comes the highly anticipated Ferrari Show—75 minutes of pure excitement on track (starting at 12:45), building up to a crescendo of spectacle and emotion. The event will celebrate the cars and drivers of the GT and Corse Clienti season, interweaving tributes to Ferrari’s past and glimpses of its future.
For the first time before an Italian audience, the new 296 GT3 Evo, unveiled last June during the 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, will be presented. There will also be a special tribute to the Ferrari 499P, winner of the last three editions of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Mugello Open to the Public
As announced and in keeping with tradition, the grandstands of the Tuscan circuit will be reserved—with free access—for Ferrari employees and Ferrari Club members. All fans will have free entry to the Prato area from Thursday 23 to Sunday 26 October, in the West Zone (San Donato and Arrabbiata areas) via the Palagio entrance. Parking will be available along Via dell’Autodromo.
Live Streaming and TV Coverage

CIV, THIS WEEKEND AT MUGELLO
This weekend the Mugello Circuit hosts the final round of the Italian Speed Championship season. Titles are up for grabs in Production Bike, Supersport 600 NG, Premoto3 and Sportbike. Plenty of exceptional wild cards will be on track. Adding further excitement to the weekend are the trophies: Aprilia 660, Ducati V4 Elite Cup, Honda CBR 600 RR and National Trophy 1000.
The appointment this weekend is with the Italian motorcycle championship, with plenty of classes starting from SBK.
Superbike – Production Bike – The category already has its champion: Alessandro Delbianco. Battling it out for the overall podium will be the two Broncos riders Luca Vitali and Cavalieri, together with Gabriele Giannini (Honda Scuderia Improve Firenze Motor) and Michele Pirro. A full 75 points are at stake since the premier class will run its first Superpole Race at Mugello.
In Production Bike, the protagonists of the season still fighting for the tricolour podium are Davide Stirpe, Riccardo Russo and Simone Saltarelli. The first ever Italian Production Bike Champion will be crowned at Mugello, and the show is guaranteed, with three races scheduled for the brand-new category. Joining the grid will also be Luca Bernardi with the ZPM Motorsport Ducati and Randy Krummenacher with the GAS Racing Yamaha.
Supersport 600 NG – Everything will be decided at Mugello. A battle to the very last corner between Luca Ottaviani, Xavier Artigas, currently second, and Mattia Rato, the best performer in the last round and fresh from competing in the Supermoto of Nations in the Czech Republic. The duel will unfold on one of the world’s most beautiful circuits, where Ottaviani already achieved a stunning double win back in June, and it will be particularly intense with 50 points on offer across the two scheduled races. Worth noting is the return of Andrea Mantovani (Ducati Scuderia D’Ettorre), absent at Imola due to MotoE commitments, as well as the presence of former Italian championship stars now racing in the World Championship. Among them, Kevin Zannoni, riding with Ducati Broncos in place of Andrea Giombini, and Filippo Farioli, who will replace Matteo Ripamonti on the Altogo Yamaha.
Moto3 – The title has already been decided. Marcos Ruda (Lucky Racing) was crowned Italian Champion in the Imola round. This is the Spaniard’s second consecutive national title, secured with a double win at the Santerno.
Premoto3 – Lorenzo Pritelli is just a step away from the title. The PATA Talento Azzurro FMI rider, recently admitted to the VR46 Academy, comes fresh from the podium in his European Talent Cup debut. Lorenzo enjoys a 51-point advantage over Alessandro Aguilar Carballo. The Team Leopard Academy by Roc’n’Dea rider arrives at Mugello after his Race 1 victory at Imola and will attempt an all-out attack on the Tuscan rollercoaster. Here, during the second round of the season, he scored his very first category win. Also fighting for the tricolour podium, riding Honda NSF250Rs, are Luca Rizzi and Luana Giuliani, both PATA Talenti Azzurri FMI. Rookie Rizzi (We Race Pos Corse) won two out of three races at the spring Mugello round, while Giuliani (Team Angeluss), fresh winner of the Legend Trophy Under 40, climbed the podium in Race 1.
Sportbike – Bruno Ieraci and Mattia Sorrenti will battle for the first ever title in the category at Mugello. Only twenty-seven and a half points separate them, with 50 points up for grabs in what promises to be a fiery weekend. Also in the fight for a championship podium is Paolo Grassia (Kawasaki), who at the first Mugello round of the year showcased his skills with a win and a second place. More distant in the standings is Leonardo Carnevali (Aprilia Maurer Racing Team), currently fourth overall despite an inconsistent season. He nevertheless delivered a splendid performance at Imola with three podiums in three races, including the Superpole Race. On the entry list is also Elia Bartolini (Triumph SM Real), a standout of Italian Moto3 and since last year also competing in the WorldSSP300 Championship.
Hobby Sport Young Course – During the Just1 Round, children aged 6 to 14 will have the chance to take their first laps on a Minimoto in total safety thanks to the Hobby Sport Young courses. The event takes place on Saturday (14:30–18:30) and Sunday (09:30–12:30 and 14:30–17:30) at the Mugello Circuit, with FMI technicians ensuring safety. Helmets and protective gear will be provided by the Italian Motorcycling Federation, while the bikes will be Yamaha PW50s.

GT3
In the overall standings, Mazzola–Rauer–Cazzaniga (Audi R8 LMS – Tresor Attempto Racing) head to Mugello as title favorites, holding a 19-point lead over Colavita–Badawi–Vidales and a 22-point margin over Ferrari–Raghunathan–Ponzio, both AF Corse Ferrari 296 GT3 crews. Also level on points and still in the fight are Coluccio–Gorini–Tamburini (Ferrari 296 GT3 – Easy Race), determined to seize their final chance at championship glory.
The Ferrari intra-team rivalry extends to the PRO-AM class, where Coluccio–Gorini–Tamburini lead by just three points over Colavita–Badawi–Vidales. Hot on their heels are Jackson–Azzam–Detry (Audi R8 LMS – Haas RT), just four points back, while Ferrari–Raghunathan–Ponzio are also firmly in contention, trailing by only six points.
The AM class is equally close, with Pavlovic–Spengler–Lommahadthai (Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO 2 – Star Performance) defending a slim six-point lead over Borelli–Ulrich, joined by Simon Mann, and nine points over Ambrose–McDonald–Castellacci, both in AF Corse Ferrari 296 GT3s. Star Performance will also field a second Huracan GT3 EVO 2 for Mur–Mendez–Tuomaala, tasked with supporting their teammates in the title chase.
The Ferrari contingent is completed by another AF Corse 296 GT3 for Ryndziewicz–Altoè, the Rosso Corsa 296 GT3 of Marazzi–Buttarelli, and the Pellin Racing Ferrari 488 GT3 of Ruberti–Haugen. Audi colors will be represented not only by the championship leaders and Haas RT but also by a second Tresor Attempto Racing entry with Clementi Pisani–Di Folco–Cassarà, and by Audi Sport Italia with Cantu–Lopez–Lambrughi, a trio that impressed at Monza, narrowly missing out on the overall win.
Outside the title fight but eager to close the season on a high are four Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO 2 entries: two from VSR with Beretta–Frassineti–Testa and Zanon–Michelotto–Gilardoni, and two from Imperiale Racing with Denes–Cola–Guidetti and Zonzini–Tarabini–Colombini. All aim to leave a mark after a season of mixed fortunes.
Completing the GT3 field are two Mercedes-AMG GT3s from Antonelli Motorsport, with Caresani–Sathienthirakul–Scholze in PRO-AM and Fascicolo–Farhadi–Valkre in AM, alongside two Honda NSX GT3s from Nova Race for Massaro–De Luca–Berton and Magnoni–Rocca–Bodellini.

GT CUP
With eight Italian titles at stake and a packed grid, the GT Cup will be one of the standout features of Mugello’s finale. The 1st Division sees two relatively defined scenarios with clear title favorites, while the 2nd Division remains wide open, with multiple contenders.
1st DIVISION: In PRO-AM, the spotlight is on the AF Corse Ferrari 296 Challenge of Fontana–Gai, leading the standings with 80 points and a 28-point cushion over teammates Barbolini–Megna–Scarpetta. While they are strong favorites, other contenders will aim for glory, including Cossu–Coassin (Lamborghini Huracan ST Evo2 – Invictus Corse) with a yet-to-be-confirmed third driver, and Best Lap’s Di Mare–Croccolino–Agoglia, already race winners at Imola. AF Corse will also field another 296 Challenge for Danish duo Bogh Sorensen–Mac, standout performers at Imola, ready to shine again.
In the AM class, Diego Locanto and Luca Segù (Lamborghini Huracan ST Evo2 – DL Racing) head to Mugello as dominant leaders with 89 points and a comfortable 27-point margin over Levy–Mari–Bucci (Ferrari 296 Challenge – Best Lap). DL Racing teammates Salvaggio–Riva–Bolger and Ferrari crews from Rossocorsa (Fontana–Potolicchio–Potolicchio) and AF Corse (Van der Vorm–Rugolo) will also fight for a strong finish.
2nd DIVISION: The PRO-AM fight is wide open, with three crews separated by just 12 points. Leading the standings is the Raptor Engineering Porsche 992 GT3 Cup of Navatta–Olivieri–Palma with 72 points, chased by Racevent’s sister Porsche of Calcagno–Corradi–Valori (67 pts) and SP Racing’s Piria–Russo (60 pts), double winners at Misano and Imola. The Easy Race Ferrari 488 Challenge of Bontempelli–Di Fabio–Postiglione is also a potential game-changer.
The AM battle is equally fierce, with three teams within 15 points. Double TT Racing’s Ferrari 488 Challenge of Marulla–Risitano (69 pts), joined at Mugello by Polish driver Zydlewski, leads SP Racing’s Fabiani–Bergonzini–Deverikos in a Porsche 992 GT3 Cup (60 pts). Close behind is ZRS Motorsport’s Prestipino–Micale–Giacon (54 pts), also in contention for the crown. Potential surprises include Carboni–Di Benedetto–Nicolosi (Porsche 992 GT3 Cup – Raptor Engineering, 48 pts), while FAEMS will bring an all-female trio of Levy–Segattini–Sonzogni in another Porsche 992 GT3 Cup.
