MASERATI and racing

A longstanding tradition of success in motorsport

Motor racing has always been the test-bed of the automotive industry, where innovative ideas

are put through their paces before being applied to roadgoing cars. In its eternal quest for

excellence, Maserati runs an extensive motorsport programme through which it tests devices,

technologies and materials to assess their suitability for everyday use – a practice that dates back

to the company’s inception in 1914.

Trofeo Maserati GranTuri smo MC

Maserati is once again the star of the international racing scene, thanks to the Trofeo Maserati

GranTurismo MC - an eight-race championship for gentleman drivers throughout Europe that

is run alongside the World Touring Car Championship. Using the GranTurismo MC Trofeo,

the racing version of the GranTurismo S, participants can contest the championship with all

cars prepared to an equal standard and managed directly by Maserati Corse. In addition, private

teams can purchase a GranTurismo MC GT4 to complete in a separate class distinct from the

Trofeo cars.

At each meeting there are two free practice sessions on the Friday (40’ each), two qualifying

sessions on the Saturday (20’ each) and two races lasting 38’ + 1 lap on the Sunday.
