The first round of the Italian GT Endurance Championship at the Misano “Marco Simoncelli” track ended with strong tensions, where attention was not only focused on the race, but on the serious incidents after the finish.

The collision began during the race, after a safety car restart, when the No. 66 Lamborghini of Vincenzo Sospiri Racing, driven by Edoardo Liberati, made contact with the No. 99 Audi of Tresor Attempto Racing at the Quercia corner. The incident resulted in a penalty for the Lamborghini team, which was penalized for illegal overtaking during the race, affecting its final ranking. The situation escalated immediately after the race ended, when members of both teams were involved in a fierce confrontation in the pit area.

Initially there were verbal arguments, but then the tension degenerated into physical pushing, where several people fell to the ground. Footage of the incident was quickly shared on social media, causing numerous reactions in the world of motorsport. The race authorities immediately intervened, taking strong disciplinary measures.

Audi No. 99 was disqualified for “unsportsmanlike conduct after the race”, while Rinaldi Racing was declared the winner of the round. Formula 1 driver Kimi Antonelli was also present at Misano this weekend, following the action closely during the break between races of the season. The incident has brought to light the tensions that often accompany GT racing, where on-track rivalry often spills over to off-track. Authorities are expected to continue their disciplinary investigation into the incident, and the teams involved could face further punitive measures.
