Extraordinary success for the ELMS (European Le Mans Series) on the Mugello circuit. The Endurance competition reserved for LMP2, LMP2 Pro/Am, LMP3 and LMGT3 cars, for the first time in its history, appeared on the fifteen curves of the Tuscan circuit and the public responded present.

Since the morning, all the four-wheel enthusiasts have made their passion felt during the autograph session by filling the pit lane. The national anthem sung by “Jade” Giada Maragno, the spectacular performance by Sarah Lezito, acrobatic world champion who brought her show on two wheels, and the smiles in the stands did the rest, giving way to the four hours of racing, in a one-of-a-kind day for speed and adrenaline where Ferrari 296, Porsche 911, Aston Martin Vantage, Lamborghini Huracan, Proton, Ligier JS, Duqueine M30 and Oreca 07 raced on the Ferrari-owned circuit. Among the most famous names who battled on the Tuscan ups and downs, on this Sunday of engines, we find Robert Kubica, former Formula 1 driver and 2023 WEC champion in LMP2, Nicklas Nielsen, winner of the 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans in the Hypercar class on the 499P from Maranello, Paul Di Resta and Felipe Drugovich, reserve driver for Aston Martin. And how could we not mention Arthur Leclerc, brother of Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc and Nelson Piquet Jr.

Crossing the finish line in LMP2 in first place, after a full 4 hours and 20 minutes of racing, was the number 9 Iron Lynx-Proton of Ried, Capietto and Cairoli. Nothing to do for Kaiser, Caldwell and Lynn who had to settle for second place. The lowest step of the podium for Gray, Novalak and Ghiotto.

Salles, Beche and Saucy won in the LMP2 Pro/Am category, preceding Lentoudis, Bradley, and Quinn by about 11 seconds. Third place instead for Roda, Binder and Viscaal.

In LMP3, Team Virage led by Gerbi, Pinherio and Henrion legitimized the victory ahead of Jensen, Adcock and Julien of the Rlr M Sport team and Bukhantsov, Askey and Perino of Inter Europol Competition.

Finally, in LMGT3, the triumph was that of Kessel Racing of Kimura, Masson and Serra who destroyed the hopes of Berry, Hanafin and Adam, who finished second, and of the two Lausen and Nielsen.

A good start, therefore, for the debut of the ELMS at Mugello.
