A LONGSTANDING TRADITION OF SUCCESS ON THE CIRCUIT
Racing has always been the most demanding test-bed; used to put engineering developments through their paces. Traditionally, reliability and performance are tested on the track, and it is where
new technologies and materials are tried out. It is also through racing that Maserati celebrates its sporting character and heritage.
GT1
The new FIA GT1 World Championship, an evolution of the FIA GT, is where the Maserati MC12 cars will once again attempt to confirm their supremacy in GT competitions. This car has
won 12 championship titles (drivers, teams and manufacturers) since 2004, and also successfully competed in the prestigious and gruelling Spa 24 Hours.The 2010 FIA GT1 World Championship
will consist of 10 races, starting in Abu Dhabi, then tour the famous circuits of Europe, before finally drawing to a close in Argentina.
GT4
The GranTurismo MC GT4 has been developed by Maserati for the new GT4 category, which is an increasingly popular formula thanks to the relatively modest costs and excellent support
organisation. The GranTurismo MC GT4 is a continuation of Maserati's racing heritage, which dates back to 1926.
TROFEO
The Maserati Championship is once again the star of the race circuit thanks to the Trofeo Maserati GranTurismo MC; an eight-races championship for gentleman drivers throughout Europe,
run alongside the World Touring Car Championship. Using the GranTurismo MC Trofeo, the racing version of the GranTurismo S 4.7, participants can contest the championship with all the
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. There will be two free practice sessions on Friday (40' each), two qualifying sessions on Saturday (20' each) and two races lasting 38' + 1 lap on Sunday.
