Il Campionato Italiano Velocità 2026 arriva al Mugello Circuit per il secondo appuntamento della stagione. Dopo l’esordio di Misano, il tricolore della velocità approda tra i saliscendi del circuito toscano per un weekend che si preannuncia ricco di spettacolo, sfide aperte e grandi protagonisti.

SUPERBIKE: DELBIANCO DA BATTERE

Dopo un inizio di stagione perfetto, Alessandro Delbianco (DMR Yamaha) arriva al Mugello da leader della classifica e riferimento della categoria. Le due vittorie conquistate a Misano, unite a pole position e giri veloci in entrambe le gare, confermano il talento romagnolo come uomo da battere.

Alle sue spalle si preparano a dare battaglia Gabriele Giannini (Honda Scuderia Improve Firenze Motor) e Michele Pirro (Garage51 by DTO), entrambi protagonisti nel round inaugurale. Riflettori puntati anche su Michael Ruben Rinaldi (BMAX Ducati), chiamato al riscatto sul tracciato toscano.

Novità importante nel Yamaha GAS Racing Team, che per il round del Mugello schiererà Randy Krummenacher al posto di Lorenzo Gabellini.

SUPERSPORT: ZANNONI GUIDA LA CLASSIFICA

In Supersport è Kevin Zannoni (Broncos Ducati) a presentarsi in Toscana con il ruolo di leader dopo la doppietta conquistata a Misano. A inseguire ci saranno Lorenzo Dalla Porta (Promodriver Yamaha) e Andrea Mantovani (Scuderia D’Ettorre Ducati), mentre Niccolò Antonelli (AltoGo Yamaha) punta a rilanciarsi davanti al pubblico italiano.

Da seguire anche Glenn van Straalen (Black Flag Motorsports Kawasaki), veloce ma sfortunato nel primo appuntamento stagionale.

MOTO3: EQUILIBRIO E SPETTACOLO

La Moto3 si conferma una delle categorie più combattute del CIV. Valentino Sponga (We Race Pos Corse Beon) e Pablo Olivares (GP Project 2Wheels) arrivano al Mugello appaiati in vetta alla classifica dopo un avvio di stagione estremamente equilibrato.

Attenzione anche a Vicente Perez Selfa, vincitore di Gara 1 a Misano e determinato a riscattarsi dopo il ritiro nella seconda manche. Tra i protagonisti attesi anche Victor Cubeles (Team SGM) in una categoria che continua a regalare gare serrate e grande spettacolo.

Al Mugello tornerà inoltre la Superpole Race dedicata alla Moto3.

MOTO4 E SPORTBIKE: I GIOVANI TALENTI IN PISTA

Grande equilibrio anche nella Moto4, dove Luca Rizzi (We Race Pos Corse) guida la classifica grazie a un avvio di stagione estremamente solido. Alle sue spalle inseguono Sebastian Ferrucci (SM Corse – GEA Motorsport) e Davide Dotta (Buccimoto Factory), in una categoria che continua a mettere in mostra alcuni dei giovani talenti più promettenti del panorama nazionale.

Nella Sportbike, invece, è Filippo Bianchi (MMP Velocità Aprilia) a guidare il gruppo dopo la doppietta di Misano. Alfonso Coppola ed Emiliano Ercolani (Gradaracorse Aprilia) proveranno a inserirsi nella lotta per il vertice, mentre cresce l’attesa anche per il debutto di Luana Giuliani con il Team Rosso e Nero su Triumph.

UN WEEKEND RICCO DI EVENTI

Il fine settimana del Mugello ospiterà anche il via della stagione 2026 dell’European Handy Bridgestone Cup e della OCTO Cup, i campionati dedicati ai piloti con disabilità promossi dall’Associazione Di.Di. Diversamente Disabili.

A completare il programma saranno inoltre i Trofei Aprilia, Ducati, Honda e Yamaha, pronti ad animare ulteriormente il weekend del Mugello Circuit.

MOTOSPRINT POLE POSITION E ATTIVITÀ SPECIALI

Anche nel 2026 le pole position del CIV saranno firmate Motosprint: i piloti più veloci di ogni categoria riceveranno il riconoscimento dedicato e saranno protagonisti delle interviste live sui social ufficiali.

Tra le iniziative speciali del weekend anche quella organizzata da Radio Toscana, che metterà in palio ingressi VIP con accesso al paddock e alla Tribuna Centrale.

On Sunday, June 21, 2026, the Mugello Circuit will once again host the start of the Granfondo del Mugello, now in its eighth edition. This well-established event in the cycling tourism calendar has, over the past four years, become the Tuscan event with the highest number of participants, averaging more than 1,000 riders each year from across Italy and abroad.

The event will begin with a unique and evocative moment: a full lap of the Autodrome, after which cyclists will set off on one of five routes—three road courses and two gravel options—winding through the hills and mountains of the Mugello area.

Road cycling enthusiasts will also have the opportunity to test themselves on two timed competitive segments, Galliano–Panna and Passo della Sambuca, both entirely closed to traffic to ensure maximum safety. Those opting for the gravel routes will instead enjoy a more relaxed experience, taking in the stunning landscapes along the region’s characteristic white roads.

All routes will finish in the beautiful setting of Piazza dei Vicari in Scarperia, where participants will find refreshment points along the courses featuring local products, and at the end, the traditional pasta party with the famous Mugello tortelli.

The event is open to all FCI and EPS members with a valid 2026 license, as well as non-registered participants, who may join by purchasing a daily insurance pass. All types of bicycles are permitted, including e-bikes, which, however, will not be included in the individual competitive rankings.

Awards will be given to the top three finishers in each category for both the medium and long routes, as well as the overall male and female winners of the long route. At team level, the top fifteen teams in the cycling tourism ranking will be awarded, along with the top team based on the combined times of its three best riders on the long route.

Registration fees vary depending on the registration period, with the option to participate with or without the official Alè Cycling event jersey.

For further information and registration, please visit the official website www.granfondodelmugello.it or contact the organizing team through the dedicated channels.

The Mugello Circuit is getting ready to host the Italian Grand Prix, one of the most anticipated events of the MotoGP season, offering fans an increasingly engaging experience closer to the on-track action.

For the occasion, the Ducati Grandstands are back: exclusive areas designed to deliver an immersive and engaging experience for all Ducatisti.

Located in two iconic sections of the circuit – the Correntaio corner and the Centrale Bronze Grandstand overlooking the main straight – the Ducati Grandstands provide a privileged view of the track. From here, fans can enjoy every moment of the race weekend, from heavy braking zones to overtakes and all the adrenaline of the action, with the support of big screens to ensure nothing is missed.

Spectators will also have the chance to support Ducati’s MotoGP stars up close: World Champion Marc Márquez and Francesco Bagnaia from the Ducati Lenovo Team, alongside Fabio Di Giannantonio and Franco Morbidelli from the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team, as well as Álex Márquez and Fermín Aldeguer from the BK8 Gresini Racing Team.

The Ducati Grandstands also include a range of dedicated services designed to enhance comfort: reserved parking for cars and motorcycles, a secure cloakroom for riding gear, and the official Ducati Fan Kit, including a t-shirt and cap.

A unique opportunity to experience the Italian Grand Prix from a privileged perspective, immersed in the energy and passion that make Mugello one of the most beloved circuits in the world.

During the second round of the Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli Europe 2026, Ferrari drivers experienced an initiative that combines a passion for motorsport with a concrete and structured vision of environmental sustainability.

Accompanied by Paolo Poli, CEO and Managing Director of Mugello Circuit, drivers Sergio Paulet (Ineco – Reparto Corse RAM), Giacomo Rinaldo (Rossocorsa) and Max Mugelli (CDP - Eureka Competition), together with Andrea Mladosic, Head of Endurance and Corso Pilota, visited the beehives located within the San Donato corner, one of the most iconic sections of the track.

The project, launched in 2024, marked an international milestone, making Mugello the first circuit to host beehives dedicated to pollinating bees. Today, it includes 7 hives and approximately 420,000 bees, confirming a growth path that strengthens the circuit’s commitment to biodiversity protection. An initiative with strong symbolic value, but also a strategic one, considering the essential role bees play in pollination processes and in maintaining natural balance.

A particularly significant aspect that emerged during the visit concerns the bees’ ability to coexist with the circuit environment: despite their proximity to the track, they are not disturbed by the noise of the engines, as their perception is mainly linked to vibrations.

Set within a natural context of great value, with over 900,000 square metres of green areas and 300,000 square metres of woodland, the beehive project is part of the broader environmental strategy of Mugello Circuit, internationally recognised for its sustainability standards.

A tangible example of how innovation, local heritage and sustainability can coexist, helping to shape a responsible model of development within the world of motorsport.

This weekend, the Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli Europe returns to the Mugello Circuit for the second round of the 2026 calendar. It promises to be a particularly action-packed weekend for Ferrari’s one-make series.

The season opener in France immediately highlighted a very high level of competition, with closely contested races across all classes. Taking center stage on track is the Ferrari 296 Challenge, the ninth car in the championship’s history, unveiled right at Mugello during the 2023 Finali Mondiali.

In the Trofeo Pirelli Am class, the spotlight is on Sergio Paulet, who claimed a double victory at Paul Ricard and is aiming to extend his lead in the overall standings. The Spanish driver will also benefit from the absence of Gilles Renmans, while one of his main rivals will be home driver Max Mugelli, coming off two third-place finishes in France. Also worth watching is the debut of Hendrik Viol. In the Am class, Michael Verhagen remains the benchmark, having already won both opening races.

A high level of competitiveness is also expected in the Coppa Shell, where a close battle is anticipated between the first-round winners, Jan Sandmann and Eric Cheung, with the latter set to celebrate his 200th Ferrari Challenge race right at Mugello. The Tuscan weekend will also mark the season debut of several drivers, including Robin Maes, Luis Perusquia and Stefano Inama. A total of 26 cars will take part across Coppa Shell and Coppa Shell Am, with the latter once again confirming itself as the most crowded class.

The 2026 season represents a historic milestone for the Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli, celebrating its 34th edition. Since its debut in 1993, the championship has established itself as a benchmark in customer motorsport, supporting generations of drivers and providing a pathway to GT racing.

Mugello holds a special place in the history of the series and Ferrari’s Corse Clienti activities. The Tuscan circuit has hosted no fewer than 17 editions of the Finali Mondiali, including the first six and the most recent one in 2025. It was also here, in 2023, that two cars destined to shape the future of the customer racing programme were unveiled: the 296 Challenge and the Ferrari 499P Modificata, the latter making its on-track debut in March 2024.

With its 5.245 kilometres, the Mugello track is one of the most appreciated by drivers and teams for its technical and spectacular layout, featuring fast corners, demanding braking zones and significant elevation changes. It is the ideal proving ground to showcase both the performance of the cars and the talent of the drivers.

The weekend schedule will follow the established format: Friday, April 24 will be dedicated to testing and free practice, Saturday will feature qualifying sessions in the morning and Race 1 in the afternoon, while Sunday will repeat the same format for Race 2. All sessions will be broadcast live via Ferrari’s official YouTube channel, the website live.ferrari.com and on DAZN.

Sunday, April 19 at Mugello Circuit, organized by PNK Motorsport, was entirely dedicated to on-track action, with a packed schedule featuring multiple categories, all delivering a high level of competition and excitement.

The day opened with the Young Timer Touring Cup, where Federico Borrett took the win driving a BMW M3 E1. Sergio Galbusera (TAC Motorsport) followed in second place with a Lotus Elise Cup, while Rino De Luca (Vimotorsport) completed the podium in third with his Honda Civic.

The spotlight then shifted to the National GT Challenge, bringing high-performance cars and intense battles on track. In GT Cup 2, victory went to R. Romagnoli and E. Marchetti (Best Lap) in a Ferrari 488 Challenge Evo, ahead of M. Squillaci and E. Romani (Cars Racing) in a Porsche 992 GT3 Cup, and L. Ferrari and L. Megna (Formula Racing), third in another Ferrari 488 Challenge Evo.

The GT3 class saw M. Maglioccola and B. Strignano (Scuderia Vesuvio) take victory with a Lamborghini Huracán GT3. M. Pitorri and G. Simonelli (Best Lap) secured second place in a Ferrari 488 GT3, while A. Ambrosio and P. Pastore, also representing Scuderia Vesuvio, completed the podium in third with another Lamborghini Huracán GT3.

Next up was the RS Cup, where Andrea Bonifazi (Seven Hills Motorsport) took the win, followed by Fulvio Casciandrini (MC Motortecnica) in second and Riccardo Rogari (Black Cars) in third.

The day concluded with the Coppa Clio Italia, with Alex Lancellotti (Rangoni Corse) taking victory ahead of Francesco Pagano (Pagano Corse) and Cristian Ricciarini (Faro Racing).

A full day of racing that once again highlighted the quality of PNK Motorsport’s events, capable of showcasing a wide range of categories while delivering an engaging and complete spectacle for fans.

The weekend at Mugello Circuit thus came to a close with a strong focus on performance, technical variety and great participation from teams, drivers and enthusiasts alike.

An intense weekend at Mugello, marked by the season debut of the PNK Motorsport championships, which for the occasion also hosts the P9 Challenge, a German championship dedicated to Gran Turismo cars featuring a 40-minute Sprint race and a 60-minute Endurance race.

The PNK lineup is full of exciting entries, with a strong National GT Challenge grid counting 25 cars and an impressive variety of brands. On track will be Huracán GT3s and Ferrari 488 GT3s, along with Ferrari 488 Challenge EVOs and Lamborghini Super Trofeos, both in their first generation and EVO versions.

The Young Timer Cup is also part of the weekend, featuring, among others, Giulio Valentini’s León Supercopa, Federico Borret’s BMW M3, and Sergio Galbusera’s Lotus Elise Cup.

The Italian Historic Car Championship is in excellent form for its season opener, with 52 cars divided into five groups: from Matteo Panini’s Callaway Corvette (Group 5) to the BMW 320 E21 Group 5 of the Zardo-Ambroso duo (Group 4), the Porsche 935 K3 of Ronconi-Gulinelli (Group 3), the Alfa GT Am of the Mercatali family, father and son (Group 2), and Massimo Pucci’s Mini Marcos GT 1.3.

The Alfa Revival Cup also makes its seasonal debut, a championship dedicated to Alfa Romeo cars built between 1947 and 1981, with 28 entries.

Finally, the “small” but competitive Twingo Cup features 18 cars ready to battle it out along the ups and downs of the Mugello circuit.
