Trofeo Maserati GT, after finishing the test at Imola

Two days of tests dedicated to the development of the cars ahead of its debut next May 1 at Imola. Last weekend kicked off the 2011 season of the Trofeo Maserati GranTurismo MC emiliano on the famous circuit where 33 drivers have started to become familiar with the new Maserati GranTurismo MC (in 2010 the trophy was won by Peter Zumerle).

A car from last year has evolved technologically. The power is - thanks to new software for the management of the engine and transmission - has gained 38 horses arriving at an altitude of 488 horses, compared with a reduction in shift times to 60 ms. Compared to 2010, also the 8 rounds scheduled this year has been changed with the introduction of two shorter races by 30 minutes and 2 more from 50 minutes, flanked by 5 rounds with the standard formula of 2 tests of 40 minutes.

Under this reschedule 80% of the score will be assigned by the shortest round while longer, which provide for mandatory pit-stop, will be worth 120% (competitors will be able to discard the worst result). After its debut at Imola on May 1 that will follow these races: Monza (WTCC) 15 of the same month, June 5, yet to be determined based, at Spa in Belgium on June 25, July 17 Donington (UK, World Touring Car Championship), September 4 Valencia (Spain WTCC), September 18 Vallelunga (Italian GT) and closing at Mugello, October 2 (GT Italian).
