Last season, the crew finished third in the drivers\u2019 standings (second among the teams) courtesy of three pole positions, the same number of victories, four runner-up places and three times on the bottom step of the podium. The Swiss\/Italian pair also made a few appearances in the 2024 season, including a win in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside Mauro Calamia, Amedeo and Roberto Pampanini will be entered in the&nbsp;12H Mugello&nbsp;in the GTX class, in a race split into two sections: after the qualifiers on Friday 20 March, the first part is scheduled for Saturday from 12:10 to 17:40, resuming with part 2 on Sunday from 12:00 to 18:30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The House of the Trident is therefore returning to racing on the Tuscan track after years of absence, with the desire to leave its mark as did the glorious Maserati MC12 in the FIA GT championship in the 2000s. In more recent years, the Mugello circuit has also hosted rounds of the Trofeo Maserati, the Modena-based manufacturer&#8217;s one-make series, where Mauro Calamia won the 2014 edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After entering the GT2 championship in 2023 and appearing in the 2024 Ultimate Cup Series,&nbsp;the Maserati GT2&#8217;s boundaries are expanding. Thanks to the upgrade kit, the car can now also race in endurance trials, with the option to take part in over 20 series&nbsp;and more than 170 races per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maserati S.p.A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maserati produces a complete range of unique cars, immediately recognisable by their extraordinary personality. Thanks to their style, technology and innately exclusive character, they delight the most discerning, demanding tastes and have always been a benchmark for the global automotive industry. A tradition of successful cars, each of them redefining what makes an Italian sports car in terms of design, performance, comfort, elegance and safety, currently available in more than 70 markets internationally.<br>Maserati line-up includes the Grecale SUV, the GranTurismo, the iconic Italian grand tourer, and the GranCabrio, the new convertible of the Trident; all models characterized by the use of the highest quality materials and excellent technical solutions. A range equipped with 4-cylinder hybrid powertrains \u2013 available for Grecale \u2013 and V6 petrol, with rear-wheel and four-wheel drive, embodying the performance DNA of the Trident brand. GranTurismo is available with both the high-performance V6 petrol engine and a 100% electric version: the GranTurismo Folgore, the first car in the Modena-based brand\u2019s history to adopt this solution. The full-electric range also includes the Grecale Folgore and the GranCabrio Folgore. The top of the Brand&#8217;s range is the MC family, which consists of the MCPURA coupe and its MCPURA Cielo convertible version, powered by the innovative V6 Neptune engine, 100% Maserati, which incorporates F1-derived technologies into the power unit of a standard production car. Completing the Brand&#8217;s commercial offering is the Maserati GT2 Stradale, the road-legal version of the GT2, which brought Maserati back to the track in covered-wheel championships, while Maserati MCXtrema is the limited series of only 62 units, a track-only homologated racing car that pushes Trident performance to the highest level and is dedicated to racing car enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mission at Maserati is to write the future of mobility in the luxury segment, focusing on its customers\u2019 requests. In order to achieve this mission, the Brand is also strongly focused on the Maserati Fuoriserie customization program, the Maserati Classiche activities, and the intensive Maserati Corse racing program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aes-custom-banner\">\n<!-- START ADVERTISER: from tradedoubler.com -->\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\nvar uri = 'https:\/\/imp.tradedoubler.com\/imp?type(img)g(25955686)a(2352007)' + new String (Math.random()).substring (2, 11);\ndocument.write('<a href=\"https:\/\/clk.tradedoubler.com\/click?p=365954&#038;a=2352007&#038;g=25955686\" target=\"_blank\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"'+uri+'\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" border=\"0\"><\/a>');\n<\/script>\n<!-- END ADVERTISER: from tradedoubler.com -->\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello is due to host&nbsp;the Maserati GT2\u2019s first endurance race, taking place at the&nbsp;12H Mugello,&nbsp;from 20 to 22 March, in round 1 of the&nbsp;Michelin 24H SERIES Europe.
