The first ACI Racing Weekend of the season at Mugello Circuit has come to an end, a weekend that delivered excitement, overtaking and dramatic twists across every category. The final day began with a track made treacherous by the rain that fell during the early hours of the morning, forcing teams and drivers into strategic decisions right from the opening stages.

The Formula 4 drivers from Groups A and C were the first to take to the track. After several reconnaissance laps on the wet surface, most competitors opted to switch to slick tyres before lining up on the grid. The race got underway behind the Safety Car, which remained on track for several laps. Once racing resumed, there was no shortage of incidents: Ginevra Panzeri and Elia Weiss were forced to retire in the opening stages, with the German driver once again enduring an unfortunate weekend. Zheng, Busso and Florescu also dropped out later in the race. At the end of an intense contest, Andy Consani claimed a well-deserved victory ahead of Bader Al Sulaiti and Oleksandr Bondarev. Among the female drivers, Emma Felbermayr once again came out on top.

The TCR Italy race also started behind the Safety Car, and problems arose even before the start: Barberini's Cupra remained stationary on the grid. The driver managed to rejoin from the pit lane, but technical issues eventually forced him to retire, although he still managed to set the fastest lap of the race. Simonov celebrated a magnificent double on his debut in the Italian championship, while Pellegrini finished second, looking increasingly comfortable behind the wheel of the Honda, with Matteo Poloni completing the podium. In the DSG classification, Miotto took victory ahead of Verrocchio and Fantilli.

The second race of the Italian Sport Prototypes Championship was chaotic and packed with incidents. At the start, Laghezza was involved in a double contact: first with Castillo, then with Verdi, who crashed heavily into the barriers. A few laps later, another collision between Laghezza and Castillo caused a further accident, resulting in an inevitable black flag for the driver. Dell'Edera emerged victorious after an extraordinary comeback, finishing ahead of Beszterda and Rad.

In the Italian Gran Turismo Sprint Championship, GT3 Race 2 was won by the Klingmann-De Wilde pairing for BMW Italia Ceccato Racing aboard the BMW M4 GT3 EVO, following a perfectly managed race. Levet-Paverud secured an excellent second place with the VSR Lamborghini Huracán, while the Huracán of Segù-Perera completed the podium.

There was plenty of excitement in the GT Cup as well, where the fifty-minute race featured a continuous battle for victory, with strategies, penalties and numerous twists throughout. The retirement of Ghermandi-Piria as early as the fourth lap changed the balance of the race, while Stefani-Locanto did not take the start and technical problems also affected Levy-Villars and Mariani-Pierantoni. When the lights went out, Simone Iaquinta made a brilliant start to immediately take the lead, but mandatory pit stops and penalties reshuffled the order several times. In the end, Frassineti-Pegoraro came out on top ahead of Croccolino-Paniccià and cousins Giacomo and Matteo Pollini.

During the prize-giving ceremony, Luca Maria Attianese and Paul Mejer of Apex Competition were also crowned 2026 Italian Champions in the Pro-Am Second Division.

The final Formula 4 race of the weekend, the Final, provided even more excitement. Safety Cars once again played a key role, but after the restart Craigie built his victory with a superb move around the outside of San Donato to overtake Maccagnani. The R-Ace GP driver then maintained his lead all the way to the chequered flag, finishing ahead of Sammalisto and Maccagnani.

The GT4 Italy Series brought the weekend to a close and, after Saturday's thrilling race, delivered another contest full of battles. In the opening stint, Fontana in the Porsche and Sandrucci in the BMW fought intensely until the driver change window. During the second half of the race, Maman, driving the BMW, launched a relentless chase of Arfini's Porsche. Also impressive was the performance of Palazzo and Aiva Anagnostiadis aboard the Promodrive BMW M4. In the AM class, the battle between Ceresoli-Anastasopulos and Wagner-Trentin remained alive until the closing laps, when the latter began to struggle with tyre degradation.

At the chequered flag, victory in the Pro-Am class went to Maman-Sandrucci ahead of Fontana-Arfini and Palazzo-Anagnostiadis. In the AM class, Ceresoli-Anastasopulos claimed the win, with Wagner-Trentin finishing second, while Bastos-Carvalho Ebrahim took victory in the Pro-Am Second Division.

The first ACI Racing Weekend of the season comes to an end as one to remember: 155 cars on the grid, more than 300 drivers on track and a weekend that once again confirmed Mugello Circuit as one of the most spectacular venues in Italian motorsport.
