The confirmation of such an important event once again enhances the work on which we have been concentrating for a few months to open the Circuit to opportunities that go beyond the world of Motorsport but which can also support it thanks to the notoriety they bring. I would like to thank the Mayor and the Municipality of Monza who believed in the project and allowed the first contacts with the organizers and all our staff and stakeholders of the Circuit, who are managing new challenges with great teamwork to make the most of the opportunities. that are offered by these appointments. The Formula 1 Grand Prix will mark record numbers in terms of attendance of fans in the stands and we expect a good response also for the Endurance races in July, for which the box office was opened yesterday.

At the Autodromo Nazionale Monza it is a challenge of traverses with the Italian drifting champions

Alberto Cona wins in the first absolute race of the Italian Drifting Championship in the Temple of Speed

A good first for the debut of the Italian Drifting Championship at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza. The race, held in a stretch of the Ascari variant and a novelty of the Temple of Speed calendar, attracted a large number of spectators who watched the pilots drift throughout the day. The event, organized by D-Race and ACI Sport, gave a show to the sound of evolutions and crossings on the track.

The drivers - divided into the two classes in the Pro and Pro2 races - first tested the cars in a long free practice session that began at 8:30, and then battled it out when the stakes really mattered, both in the qualifying heats and in the afternoon races. . All performances were carefully evaluated by the three 2022 race judges: Davide Busi, Nicolò Rosso and Claudio Varrica.

After the triumph in the series in 2021, the Italian driver opened the season with a victory, putting behind the other sixteen competitors at the start. Summing up the qualifying and race results, the score of Cona's BMW M3 was higher than that of Alberto Meregalli, on a Nissan 350Z V8, and of the French Alexander Strano, on another BMW M3.

Behind him were Rocco Lopiano in a Nissan S13 and Christian Stocco in a BMW E46. Worthy of note is the performance of Lopiano, able to recover 5 positions from qualifying - which he had finished in seventh place - finishing second. Stocco was fourth at the start of the race and overtook Marco Stellino, grabbing the third position.

At mid-day, during the break of the dynamic activity of the Italian Drifting Championship, the sixteen GT cars that participated in the MonRace GV Cup 2022 , a competition in memory of Gilles Villeneuve, also entered the Circuit. The cars lined up in paddock 1 at 1.30pm and left for a parade both on the historic Monza elevated roads, where they completed a complete lap, and on the road layout, where they completed three laps. Among the entrants, the presence of five Ferraris should be noted.

Peugeot will make its debut at the 6 Hours of Monza 2022 in the WEC as announced in the entry list

The long-awaited Peugeot 9X8 will make its race debut at Monza for the fourth round of the 2022 FIA World Endurance Championship on 10 July and will join the second largest parterre in FIA WEC history.

Paul di Resta and Loic Duval will lead the teams for the fourth round of the FIA WEC respectively entered under numbers 93 and 94, with the remainder of the driver line-up consisting of the team of Mikkel Jensen, Gustavo Menezes, James Rossiter and Jean-Eric Vergne, yet to be assigned to specific cars.

The 6 Hours of Monza takes place one month after the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June and, beyond the entry of the Peugeot, the Hypercar class remains unchanged with the winning Alpine at Sebring, which is currently ahead of the Spa winners, the Toyota, and Glickenhaus enters the title race before the most important race in La Sarthe. With the pair of Peugeots, the Monza class will consist of six cars, with two Toyotas, an Alpine and a Glickenhaus in action.

In LMP2, the lineup of cars and drivers is the same as in Spa, with one exception: Penske # 5 which will retire for the rest of the season after Le Mans and will therefore not be present at Monza.

In LMGTE Pro and LMGTE Am it's all like in Spa, with 5 cars (a pair of Ferraris and Porches against a single Corvette) and in the AM, there are 13 cars, with 5 Ferraris and Porches against 3 Aston Martins.

Monza has been included in the WEC calendar since last year, but previously it has been the protagonist of several endurance racing series. The iconic race venue, located in one of the largest city parks in Europe, offers a real party for fans and riders. Before Monza, of course, there will be the Jewel of the Crown, the 24 Hours of Le Mans with double points, and everything could change in the standings.

The action in Monza will be with free practice on Friday (8 July) afternoon, other free practice on Saturday (9 July), then qualifying on Saturday evening and after the actual race which starts at 12.00 CET on Sunday 10 July.
