The historic Monza parkland will come to life next weekend when a 59-car field tackles the second round of the GT World Challenge powered by AWS Endurance Cup.
Among the most familiar circuits on the calendar, Monza has produced several memorable contests since staging its first event in 2011. Indeed, last year’s race was an all-time classic, with varied strategies creating an entirely unpredictable battle for victory.
Teams will once again be required to make a third mandatory pit stop this year, adding further intrigue to the three-hour race. And with the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa less than a month away, it will provide a final opportunity to prepare for the season’s marque event.
FAN ACTIVITIES
All tickets include entry to the paddock, allowing you to see and appreciate the event from the inside. Fans can also refuel at the food courts under the Museum area and behind Grandstand 26 (in P9 parking). They will have a space in which to relax with tables, chairs and sun umbrellas, while a dedicated area for kids will include both fun and creative activities. A special Photo Corner will allow spectators to snap a selfie and share it on social media.
The event also includes an autograph session featuring all drivers, which takes place in the Fanzone on Sunday afternoon. A weekend ticket costs only 35€, and you’ll see four support races before the three-hour GT World Challenge race begins at 15:00 on Sunday.
