Barcelona, 12 October 2025 — The curtain fell on the 2025 GT2 European Series Powered by Pirelli with Maserati leaving the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in a blaze of success. In a weekend that underscored both speed and consistency, Philippe Prette continued his remarkable form in the Am Class, capturing two more victories aboard the no. 1 Maserati GT2 and sealing an extraordinary record of 10 wins from 12 races this season. The result not only affirmed Prette’s supremacy but also solidified LP Racing’s position at the pinnacle of the Am Class standings, wrapping up both the drivers’ and team titles for 2025.
Dominance Defined: Prette’s Perfect Finale
Few stories in modern GT racing encapsulate mastery as completely as Philippe Prette’s 2025 campaign. Already crowned Am Class champion after the previous round in Valencia, the Monegasque driver arrived in Barcelona with nothing left to prove—yet delivered another display of precision and pace.
Saturday’s race began with drama as Prette, starting second on the grid, capitalised when the pole-sitter faltered at the lights. Despite briefly relinquishing the lead, he returned to the front following contact between the leaders, including the no. 7 Maserati GT2 of Roberto Pampanini. Though time penalties for his prior double win in Valencia temporarily set him back, Prette staged a determined comeback, crossing the line sixth overall and first in class.
Sunday brought yet another show of composure. Starting seventh, Prette controlled the Am Class from the outset and never relinquished command, maintaining a margin of over 20 seconds to his nearest rival. When the chequered flag fell, his Maserati GT2 secured fourth overall and his tenth class win of the season—a fitting conclusion to a year of dominance.
A Promising Debut and Unfortunate Setbacks
Barcelona also saw the no. 8 Maserati GT2—driven by Stéphane Ratel and Jean-Denis Delétraz—make an impressive debut under the LP Racing banner. The pair delivered second place in the Am Class in Race 1, marking a strong start for the new entrant. Race 2, however, proved less forgiving. After running competitively early on, the car was forced to retire while holding fourth in class.
For Dinamic Motorsport, the weekend was a story of contrasts. The team’s no. 7 Maserati GT2 claimed fourth overall in Saturday’s opener but suffered heartbreak on Sunday. Starting from pole position with Mauro Calamia at the wheel, a first-corner incident inflicted terminal damage, ending their race prematurely despite strong pace and promise.
Season of Success: Maserati’s Racing Renaissance
Maserati’s 2025 GT2 European Series campaign will be remembered as a benchmark season—one defined by technical excellence and competitive spirit. Across the calendar, the marque secured:
- 13 pole positions (10 in Am, 3 in Pro Am)
- 13 victories (10 in Am, 3 in Pro Am)
- 5 runner-up finishes and 2 third places in Pro Am
Beyond the statistics, the season reaffirmed Maserati’s capability to blend innovation, performance, and racing passion in equal measure.
The Barcelona weekend also extended Maserati’s presence beyond the GT2 grid. The brand’s MCXtrema—its most extreme track-only creation—served as the official Leading Car for the GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS, symbolising the brand’s synergy between road and race.
Heritage and Horizon: Maserati’s Racing Spirit
Reflecting on the season, Maria Conti, Head of Maserati Corse, hailed the year’s achievements as both a tribute to the brand’s legacy and a statement of intent:
“The Barcelona weekend was the ideal end to an extraordinary season for Maserati in the GT2 European Series. We racked up pole positions, victories and podiums, demonstrating extraordinary performance, reliability and a true racing spirit. For the second year running, we are proud to celebrate the title in the Am Class, but there are many moments we will remember: the honour of providing the official Safety and Leading Cars for the GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS 2025; the celebration of 20 years since the MC12’s first victory at the 24 Hours of Spa, with our MCXtrema in celebratory livery on the same legendary track; most of all, the passion we brought to every race.”
Conti’s remarks captured the deeper resonance of Maserati’s motorsport narrative: that of a brand revitalised, driven by teamwork, and looking confidently to the future.
“We’ve achieved all this together, as a team – or rather as a family – thanks to daily collective effort from teams, customers and drivers. All this is driving us ahead towards a historic milestone: Maserati’s first 100 years in racing.”
A Century in the Making
As the 2025 GT2 season concludes, Maserati stands on the threshold of a defining anniversary—a century of racing heritage. The triumphs in Barcelona, led by Philippe Prette and LP Racing, serve as both a celebration of present glory and a bridge to a storied future.
Maserati’s return to form in GT competition has not only reaffirmed its pedigree but rekindled the spirit that first defined its motorsport DNA. From Modena to Barcelona, from the MC12 to the MCXtrema, the message is clear: Maserati is not merely competing—it is leading the charge into its next great era of racing excellence.
