The 2025 Italian GT Sprint Championship reaches its climax this weekend at Monza, where the titles will be decided over two 50-minute races in a head-to-head battle between Andrea Frassineti for VSR Lamborghini and the BMW Ceccato Racing pairing of Jens Klingmann and Jesse Krohn.

A 52-car field across GT3 and GT Cup will bring the curtain down on the 23rd edition of the Campionato Italiano Gran Turismo. With the Endurance titles already decided in favour of Tresor Attempto Racing, all attention now turns to the final two short-format races that will determine the 2025 Sprint champions and close out another action-packed national GT season.

The Title Battle

After months of fierce competition, just nine points separate the two main contenders. Frassineti, now reunited with Edoardo Liberati in the #63 VSR Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo2, arrives at Monza with a narrow advantage following a strong weekend at Imola. Liberati, although third in the championship, can no longer win the championship himself, as he will always score the same points as Frassineti, but his return adds valuable experience to the title bid. Meanwhile, Klingmann and Krohn have remained consistent all season, keeping BMW firmly in the hunt for a third consecutive championship.

Mathematical Contenders

With 40 points still available, any driver inside the top six remains mathematically in contention. William Alatalo and Leonardo Caglioni (BMW Ceccato Racing), Rocco Mazzola and Fabio Rauer (Tresor Attempto Racing Audi), and Daniele Di Amato and Felice Jelmini (Nova Race Honda) would all need a near-perfect weekend—and some luck—to overturn the deficit.

Pro-Am Battle

In the Pro-Am class, Mattia Michelotto and Ignazio Zanon (VSR Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo2) lead by a single point over Leonardo Caglioni and William Alatalo (Ceccato Racing BMW M4 GT3), setting up another thrilling duel between Lamborghini and BMW, while AF Corse’s Lorenzo Ferrari and Mahaveer Raghunathan, and Ibrahim Badawi and Leonardo Colavita, bring Ferrari to the fight as well. All contenders are separated by no more than 5 points.

GT3 Am Nears Conclusion

In GT3 Am, the title is almost wrapped up. Marco Cassarà and Alberto Clementi Pisani (Tresor Attempto Racing Audi R8 LMS) hold a commanding lead on 102 points, with Huilin Han (Target Racing Ferrari 296 GT3) their nearest challenger on 71. Only an unlikely disastrous scenario for the Audi crew could change the outcome, but mathematically, the fight isn’t quite over yet.

GT Cup Battles

In GT Cup, the fight for the title is just as intense. Andrea Fontana (Target Racing Lamborghini Huracán ST Evo2) and Ferdinando D’Auria (HC Racing Division Lamborghini Huracán ST Evo2) are tied at the top of the Pro-Am standings on 56 points, with Filippo Croccolino and Lorenzo Pegoraro (Best Lap Ferrari 296 Challenge) only three points behind. Just a few places could swing the championship either way across Monza’s two sprint races.

The GT Cup Am battle is even closer, with several drivers still in the running. Gaetano Oliva and Piergiacomo Randazzo (HC Racing Division Lamborghini Huracán ST Evo2) share the points lead on 63, just two clear of Diego Locanto and Nicola Tagliapietra (DL Racing Lamborghini Huracán ST Evo2). Behind them, Pierluigi Alessandri, Angelo Lancellotti, and Filippo Lazzaroni are all within striking distance, meaning a single result could dramatically reshape the standings. With such a tightly packed top five, the category is set for one of the most unpredictable finishes of the weekend.

Sospiri and Ravaglia Ready for Monza Showdown

Both Vincenzo Sospiri (VSR) and Roberto Ravaglia (BMW Ceccato Racing), former racing greats now leading their respective teams, approach the Monza finale with professionalism and focus as they prepare for the decisive weekend.

Sospiri said: “It’s always difficult to know how to approach a final like this. The key is to arrive as prepared as possible and make as few mistakes as possible—from both the team and the drivers. We have the potential, but it’s all about doing the small things right.”

He also underlined what gives VSR its strength: “Our main strength is definitely the support of Lamborghini Squadra Corse, which is always by our side and constantly pushes us forward. Then there are the young drivers coming through the manufacturer’s programme, who want to become factory drivers and give everything on track. And of course, our engineers and mechanics, who never give up. All together, this makes for a very strong team with great potential.”

Ravaglia added: “Reaching the final round still fighting for the title is already an achievement, but we’re here to win. Nine points are not easy to recover, yet we’ll fight to the end — that’s our mentality. I have a lot of respect for the VSR team and for Vincenzo Sospiri. We were next to them at Spa and I could see how well they worked during the race. They deserved a great result there.”

He also noted Monza may not play to BMW’s strengths: “I don’t think Monza particularly favours the BMW. At this stage of the season, it’s the drivers who make the difference. Frassineti, whom I respect a lot, will have the support of another Lamborghini, as we saw at Imola. Our second car, as they are fighting for the Pro-Am title, won’t be able to help much, so we’ll have to do it on our own.”

The Stage Set

Monza’s high-speed layout promises to be the perfect battleground for this decisive weekend. With all GT3 and GT Cup crowns still to be settled, the legendary Temple of Speed will host a fitting finale to one of the most competitive Italian GT seasons in recent years.

The GT Cup races take place on Saturday at 13:50 and Sunday at 10:30, while the GT3 field will go racing later on Saturday at 16:10 and Sunday at 13:30, each over 50 minutes plus one lap.
