The International GT Open title battle is set for a dramatic three-way showdown in Monza after Tommaso Mosca and Carl Bennett stormed to victory in the second race at Barcelona.

The AF Corse Ferrari duo delivered a flawless performance to claim their third win of the season, slashing their deficit to championship leader Levente Révész to 11 points and closing to within 6 of the Eastalent Audi pairing of Simon Reicher and Christopher Haase.

On a weekend where both rivals faltered, with Reicher-Haase finishing seventh and Révész alongside Maximilian Götz down in eighth, Mosca and Bennett seized the moment to drag themselves back into contention with one round to go.

Greystone GT celebrated a double podium, as James Kell and Dean Macdonald secured second ahead of teammates Josh Rattican and Jayden Kelly in third, though the closing stages were not without drama after some aggressive door-to-door battling between the two McLarens.

Pro-Am and Am battles tighten

The fight in Pro-Am is no less intense. Steve Jans and Aaron Walker (GetSpeed Mercedes) claimed victory and retook the class lead by a single point over SPS Mercedes drivers Valentin Pierburg and Dominik Baumann, who finished second in a Mercedes 1-2-3 completed by 2Seas Motorsport’s Charles Dawson and McKenzy Cresswell.

In Am, Gino Forgione and Michele Rugolo powered their AF Corse Ferrari to an eighth win of the season, but their margin over Mark Sansom (Garage 59 McLaren) remains slim at just four points. Sansom, partnered by Charlie Hollings, finished third behind Racing Trevor’s Antal Zsigo and Dennis Waszek.

The race

The start was delayed when Darryl Naran’s Vimana Mercedes stalled on the grid, forcing two extra formation laps. When the race finally got underway, pole-sitter Haase held the lead for just two laps before Mosca muscled his way through to the front.

A lengthy safety car interruption followed after Filip Salaquarda’s Saintéloc Audi was stranded on a kerb following contact with Marcus Paverud, but once racing resumed Mosca remained in control.

When the pit window opened, Bennett climbed aboard the Ferrari and immediately pulled clear, leaving the Greystone GT McLarens to fight for the podium. By the flag, the order remained unchanged: Bennett bringing it home comfortably ahead of Kell and Rattican.

Title showdown awaits in Monza

With just one round left, the standings could hardly be closer. Révész leads on 123 points, with Reicher-Haase on 118 and Mosca-Bennett on 112.

All three contenders head to Monza with everything to play for — the 2025 GT Open crown will be decided in a winner-takes-all finale at the Temple of Speed.
