Weekend notebook: GT Winter Series ends with three class wins

Maranello, 17 March 2026 - The Barcelona circuit hosted the final round of the GT Winter Series, where Ferrari claimed three wins in the Cup 1 class and a second place among the GT3s. The opening round of the NLS championship, meanwhile, was cancelled due to adverse weather conditions.

GT Winter Series. The championship concluded at the Barcelona-Catalunya circuit with Raffaele Vitale claiming all three Cup 1 victories in the number 70 Rossocorsa Ferrari 296 Challenge. In the GT3 class, Yaroslav Veselaho finished second in the number 96 AF Corse Ferrari 296 GT3 in the final 55-minute endurance race, a contest twice interrupted by the Safety Car, while also securing two sixth-place finishes in the sprint races.

NLS. What should have been the season opener was postponed when track temperatures approached zero, forcing the organisers to suspend all track activities. Too dangerous. The number 45 Ferrari 296 GT3 Evo, entered by Realize Kondo Racing with Rinaldi, had been set to compete at the event. The championship now kicks off next Saturday, 21 March, with the 58th edition of the ADAC Barbarossapreis.
