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.
The Gumball 3000 at Mugello
Three thousand kilometres across six stages and eight different countries. Just one Italian stop for the 26th edition of this iconic rally, which set off from Istanbul on 20 September and will conclude in Ibiza, where more than one hundred supercars will arrive on 27 September.
The circus reached Piazzale Michelangelo in Florence on Tuesday 23 September, where over 4,000 fans gathered to welcome the approximately 100 crews. For the occasion, a stage and catwalk were set up, allowing each car to parade one by one. On Wednesday morning, the Gumballers took to the 5.245-kilometre track of the Mugello Circuit before continuing their journey towards Nice.
Among the participants was Gumball 3000 founder Maximillion Cooper, driving a Rolls Royce Cullinan Brabus. “Gumball has a special relationship with Italy,” he said. *“I love Florence. I used to come here every year as a child with my parents. My father is an artist, a sculptor, so it’s a very special place for my family. Bringing the Gumball to Florence is simply fantastic. I would say it’s a must-visit destination for anyone who loves art, culture, fashion and, above all, cars.
The very first edition came to Italy — we visited the Imola circuit for the F1 Grand Prix. This time, we had the chance to drive on the iconic Mugello Circuit instead.”
THE FAMOUS GUMBALL3000 WILL STOP IN FLORENCE AND AT THE MUGELLO CIRCUIT ON SEPTEMBER 23 AND 24
Over 100 supercars driven by singers, actors, and entertainment personalities. The Italian stage will end at Piazzale Michelangelo and feature a track challenge at Mugello. Among the stars are Afrojack and Elettra Lamborghini.

Proceeds also support official partnerships along the Rally, including with the Fundación Valencia CF and many others, to help young people and global communities.
After visiting Florence and the Mugello Circuit, the rally will continue to Nice (September 24) and Valencia (September 25), before crossing the finish line in Ibiza on Friday, September 26. Along the way, free nightly Gumball festivals featuring cars and music will take place, traditionally attracting fans from all over Europe to experience one of the world’s most unique automotive events.
“This route is truly a spectacular way to celebrate Gumball 3000’s return to Europe — Europe always offers a fantastic backdrop for the rally, crossing so many countries and experiencing rich and diverse cultures in a short period of time. We are particularly excited to host our unique daily Gumball 3000 car and music festivals for fans along the route — while also supporting our worldwide charity programs to provide greater opportunities for young people,” said Maximillion Cooper, founder of Gumball 3000.
FINAL SHOWDOWN AT MUGELLO: 2025 ITALIAN GT ENDURANCE TITLES ON THE LINE

It’s decision time for the Endurance series of the 23rd edition of the Italian Gran Turismo Championship, which is set for its grand finale this weekend at the iconic Mugello Circuit. After three thrilling and unpredictable rounds at Misano, Monza, and Imola, Tuscany’s legendary rollercoaster will crown the 2025 champions at the end of a three-hour showdown awarding twelve national titles. With numerous teams still in contention, a spectacular and high-stakes finale is expected—not only thanks to the impressive 42-car grid across GT3 and GT Cup categories but also due to the exceptional caliber of drivers and teams, featuring international stars and top-tier outfits.
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. Representing BMW Italia, the Ceccato Racing M4 GT3 of Caglioni–Comandini–Guerra is also ready to contend in a weekend promising action in every class.
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.
