/in /by
Almost a year after the podium achieved in the Sprint series, the young talent from Pescara will return to speed through the turns of the famous Lombard track

Just over a month after the first seasonal round, Mattia Bucci is ready to face the second weekend of the Italian GT Endurance Championship defending the colors of Scuderia Best Lap. The ace from Abruzzo will compete between the turns of the prestigious Monza racetrack, sharing the Ferrari 296 Challenge of the Roman team together with Andrea Levy and Ivan David Mari.

Bucci has just completed a test on the Brianza track. An entire day of work dedicated exclusively to improving the feeling with the Prancing Horse car, a jewel of speed still to be discovered by the racing driver from Pescara. Monza is a circuit that evokes sweet memories: in 2024, together with Filippo Croccolino, the best seasonal results were achieved thanks to an entire weekend spent at the top of the standings, with a memorable second place achieved in Race 1.

The Autodromo Nazionale Monza is the most prestigious racetrack in Italy and one of the most famous on a global scale. 5.793 kilometers long and with eleven curves, seven to the right and four to the left, the track is synonymous with Ferrari passion: a red wall constantly present in the stands metaphor of the support of the Fans during Formula 1 races.

The weekend program will be as follows:
– Friday: Free Practice 1, 10:35 / Free Practice 2, 14:25;
– Saturday: Free Practice 3, 8:30 / Qualifying 1, 16:15 / Qualifying 2, 16:45 / Qualifying 3, 17:15;

– Sunday: Race, 2:35 p.m. (3 hours).

Mattia Bucci:“Finally I’ll be back in the car, I can’t wait to get back behind the wheel after the first round of the championship! We weren’t very lucky in Misano, so we’ll try to work as best we can with the aim of bringing the best possible results. Returning to Monza after last year’s results certainly has a certain effect, the hope is to relive the same emotions. Getting on such a prestigious podium was magical! I’m very excited, I’m sure we’ll do very well. I thank Giovanni Minardi and Minardi Management, Scuderia Best Lap, my sponsors, my family, my staff and Walter Marini together with all his guys.”


The race will be broadcasted on ACI Sport TV (Sky Italy, channel 228), and on both Facebook and Youtube channels “Campionato Italiano Gran Turismo”
