Bittersweet Mugello for MM International: Colombo claims P2 in Race 2 and sits 2nd in the Championship

It was a distinctly bittersweet weekend at the Mugello Circuit for MM International Motorsport and its driver Simone Colombo, marked by a difficult Saturday that was later redeemed by a star performance on Sunday.


After securing P3 in Qualifying for the Formula Class, Saturday's Race 1 turned out to be unfortunate: an early retirement after just 7 laps forced Colombo to settle for 14th place overall.


Sunday brought an immediate bounce-back. Starting from P4 on the grid for Race 2, Colombo took the lead and put up a gritty performance, defending fiercely to the very end in a thrilling duel with former MotoGP rider Mattia Pasini. Crossing the line in a strong 2nd place, Colombo moves up to P2 also in the overall Championship standings with 204 points, just 9 points behind leader Marco Ghiotto (213 points), ahead of the final round at Le Castellet.


The fight for the Championship remains wide open as the ultimate showdown approaches: mark your calendars for the season decider at the Paul Ricard circuit in Southern France, running from November 5–7!

Action and drama at the Red Bull Ring: victory and podium for MM International Motorsport

A weekend full of excitement and drama for the MM International Motorsport team at the famous Austrian Red Bull Ring, host of Round 4 of the BOSS GP Racing Series 2026, with more than 20,000 spectators in attendance.


Race 1 was dominated by the MM team in the FORMULA class. Young Argentine talent Francisco Soldavini, at the wheel of his Dallara F2 2018, made the most of his class pole position to take a commanding lights-to-flag victory.


Completing a superb one-two finish was Italian driver Simone Colombo (Dallara GP2/2011), who put in a solid drive to finish second, ahead of Thomas Zeltner. This was a crucial result for the championship, especially with leader Marco Ghiotto finishing fourth. Danish driver Jens Renstrup (Dallara GP2/2008) also delivered a strong performance, taking a valuable fifth place in class with a flawless drive.


Sunday’s Race 2 got off to a dramatic start with a clash between teammates. On the opening lap, at the Turn 4 braking zone, Simone Colombo attempted to overtake Soldavini on the outside. The wheel-to-wheel battle ended in a collision between the two cars. Soldavini’s front wing was broken, forcing him to pit immediately for a new nose, while Colombo’s car also sustained damage that put paid to his chances of winning. Restarting at the back of the field, Soldavini fought back with a string of fast laps to claim an unexpected third place and secure crucial points in the title fight. Thomas Zeltner took the class win ahead of Marco Ghiotto.


Jens Renstrup once again proved consistent and dependable, completing the weekend with an excellent 4th-place finish in Race 2 and bringing an Austrian campaign full of positive takeaways for the team to a close.


The next track outing is the fifth round of the BOSS GP Racing Series, taking place at the Italian Historic Grand Prix at Mugello Circuit in early October.

MM International Motorsport fields a three-car lineup

podium finish at the Red Bull Ring for BOSS GP Round 4

MM International Motorsport is ready to take to the track at Austria’s Red Bull Ring from August 28 to 30. After the summer break, the team and drivers will aim to build on their strong performances in the 2026 Championship, fielding a top-level FORMULA class line-up: Francisco Soldavini will drive the Dallara F2 2018, alongside Simone Colombo and Jens Renstrup, both in their trusted Dallara GP2/2011 cars.

The Spielberg round will be crucial in the FORMULA class title fight, with the standings incredibly close at the top: Simone Colombo (2nd with 126 points) and Francisco Soldavini (4th with 116 points) are right in the battle for the provisional lead, currently held by Marco Ghiotto (129 points), while Jens Renstrup aims to climb the standings and break into the top 10.

It looks set to be a weekend of fine margins: temperatures will be high during Friday’s free practice, while rain is forecast for Saturday and Sunday. Tyre management and adapting to the wet track could prove decisive in qualifying and the two races.

Friday kicks off with two 30-minute Free Practice sessions, the first at 10:40 and the second at 16:10. Saturday, August 29 promises a fiery morning, with Qualifying starting at 09:20 (split into Q1 for the Top Drivers and Q2). The green light for Race 1 comes on at 15:15 (22 minutes of pure adrenaline). As usual, Race 2 will take place on Sunday, with the grand finale starting at 13:00 (22 minutes).

Two dedicated Pit Walk sessions with autograph signings will be organised for all fans at the circuit, right in front of the team garages:

  • Saturday, August 29: 11:50–12:50
  • Sunday, August 30: 12:05–12:40

A unique opportunity to get up close to the cars, take photos and meet the drivers before the start.

BOSS GP: Colombo and Soldavini dominate at Magny-Cours

Round 3 of the 2026 BOSS GP season at Magny-Cours, the championship halfway point, delivered top-level action in the FORMULA class.

From the very first Free Practice sessions on Friday, MM International Motorsport set the pace, going on to secure two superb one-two finishes for the Italian team. In Saturday’s first race, Simone Colombo took the win in his Dallara GP2/2011, helped by the Safety Car finish. Teammate Francisco Soldavini, making his debut at this circuit in the new F2 2018, fought back to second after a poor start.

In Race 2, Soldavini loses ground at the start once again, but halfway through the race he closes the gap to Colombo and makes a decisive pass at the Adelaide hairpin to claim a superb win and give the MM team its second one-two finish. The F2 2018’s outstanding competitiveness in race trim deserves special mention. The car showed exceptional pace, proving on track that it can win and beat both GP2 and World Series cars.

Also standing out behind the two rivals is their teammate Jens Renstrup, who put in an excellent weekend to top the Master standings.

The FORMULA title fight is now wide open, with just 13 points separating the top four drivers. Simone Colombo is just two points behind championship leader Marco Ghiotto (129 points to Colombo’s 126). Francisco Soldavini is right behind the leaders in fourth with 116 points, while Jens Renstrup currently sits a solid sixth overall on 48 points.

Following the cancellation of the Assen round, BOSS GP’s next track appearance will be at the Red Bull Ring in Austria at the end of August. In the meantime, we await confirmation of which circuit will replace the Dutch round in November.

MM International Motorsport ready for the challenge at Magny-Cours:

chasing the top spot in the BOSS GP FORMULA class

The 2026 BOSS GP Racing Series season reaches its third round this weekend. From July 3–5, the prestigious French circuit of Magny-Cours will host the “Racing Cup Magny-Cours”. For MM International Motorsport, the trip to the former Formula 1 venue is a crucial point in the championship, with the clear goal of cementing its position as a leading force in the fiercely contested FORMULA class.

The team arrives on the grid with a top-class line-up of three drivers ready to battle it out. Simone Colombo, the reigning Italian FORMULA class champion, heads to France ready to draw on all his experience to tame the circuit’s fast sweeps and demanding braking zones in his Dallara GP2/2011.

Argentina’s Francisco Soldavini, the revelation of the previous round at the Nürburgring, is aiming to establish himself as the man to beat at the wheel of his F2 2018.

Completing the trio of contenders, also in a GP2/2011, is experienced Danish driver Jens Renstrup. After making steady progress since the start of the championship, Renstrup is aiming to establish himself in the FORMULA class top five and score crucial points to help the team climb the standings.

Here is the official weekend schedule:

  • Friday, July 3
  • 14:10 - 14:40 | Free Practice 1 (30 minutes)
  • 17:20–17:50 | Free Practice 2 (30 minutes)
  • Saturday, July 4
  • 10:45–11:15 | Qualifying (Q1 Top Drivers 10 min / Q2 18 min)
  • 15:05 | Race 1 (22 minutes)
  • Sunday, July 5
  • 11:35 | Race 2 (22 minutes)

With Magny-Cours an entirely new circuit for many drivers on the grid, the ability of MM International Motorsport to adapt the cars’ setup from Friday’s first Free Practice sessions will make all the difference. The internal and external battles in the FORMULA class are set to thrill the French fans.


BOSS GP Nürburgring:

Soldavini takes a double win, Colombo on the podium for MM International Motorsport


MM International Motorsport was in the spotlight at the Nürburgring, host of the second BOSS GP round of the season. The team scored a superb one-two in the Formula class, with Francisco Soldavini taking two consecutive wins and Simone Colombo always fighting at the front.

The Argentine impressed from qualifying, taking pole position and then proving unbeatable in both races. After winning Race 1 ahead of his teammate, Soldavini repeated the feat on Sunday in Race 2, making up valuable ground in the Championship standings after a difficult start at Hockenheim. The battle with teammate Simone Colombo, the reigning class champion, was a great one; Colombo also finished Race 2 in P2.

The Italian fought at the front throughout the weekend, contributing to the team’s points haul and remaining one of the leading contenders in the 2026 season.

Thanks to their results at the German circuit, MM International Motorsport leaves the Nürburgring full of confidence ahead of the next round at Magny-Cours, France, from July 3 to 5.


MM International Motorsport at the Nürburgring

to continue the charge in BOSS GP

After the season-opening round at Hockenheim, MM International Motorsport is ready to return to the track this weekend at the Nürburgring for the second round of the 2026 BOSS GP Racing Series season.

The Italian team will field two single-seaters in the competitive Formula class. Simone Colombo will drive the #32 Dallara GP2/11, while Francisco Soldavini will take on the German weekend in his #37 GP2/11, aiming to continue his development in one of the most spectacular categories in European motorsport.

The Nürburgring is one of the calendar’s most iconic challenges. With its fast corners, significant elevation changes and long, high-speed sections, the German circuit will demand the utmost precision from both drivers and engineers as they search for the ideal setup.


After the first two races at Hockenheim, MM International Motorsport heads to Germany in a strong position in the standings. In the Formula class, Simone Colombo is fifth with 31 points, thanks largely to his victory in the second race of the opening weekend. Ahead of him are Marco Ghiotto (49 points), Thomas Zeltner (44), Martin Kindler (40) and Alexander Seibold (36).

Francisco Soldavini has also made a positive start to the season. The Argentine driver, a rookie in the series, is currently ninth in the Championship with 15 points and is looking to close the gap to the rivals immediately above him in the standings.

The Nürburgring weekend is an important opportunity for MM International Motorsport to close in on the leaders and consolidate its position among the frontrunners in the 2026 BOSS GP season.

A breathtaking start to the season for MM International Motorsport


The 2026 BOSS GP season got underway with a fiercely contested opening round featuring two of the three drivers selected by MM to represent the FORMULA class: Italy’s Simone Colombo and young Argentine rookie Francisco Soldavini.

From the very beginning of RACE 1, MM International Motorsport showed competitive pace, with Colombo immediately taking the lead as the lights went out, demonstrating his experience and consistency on track.

Behind him, Soldavini drove aggressively, making it clear from the outset that he was fighting for the lead. But the young Argentine overreached in an overtaking attempt at the Mercedes Arena and collided with Colombo’s GP2. Both drivers managed to get their cars back to the pits, but the damage forced them both to retire early.

There was plenty of action in Race 2. Once again, Colombo and Soldavini were embroiled in an intense but fair duel for much of the race, culminating in a nail-biting finish. On the final lap, Soldavini tried once more to pass Colombo, but was unable to complete the move. The Italian thus held on to the lead all the way to the chequered flag, while the Argentinian spun in his final attempt just one corner from the finish, losing any chance of a podium.

Alongside the front-running duel, MM International Motorsport also saw a solid performance from Jens Renstrup, who showed consistency and reliability throughout the weekend. Unfortunately, the driver was unable to take part in Race 1 due to a back problem, but finished Race 2 in the points, gathering useful performance data to help develop the car ahead of the coming rounds.

A season opener full of positives for MM, who leave the first round of the 2026 BOSS GP with confidence that they can be competitive throughout the year, thanks to their performance, continued progress and great team spirit.

BOSS GP 2026 calendar announced

After securing the Formula PRO class title with Simone Colombo, the team has wrapped up an extraordinary season defined by consistency, speed and determination. 2025 has provided a solid foundation, reaffirming the strength of our drivers, our technicians and everyone working behind the scenes.

MM International Motorsport wraps up the BOSS GP season

with the Formula PRO title and a weekend full of excitement

The Misano circuit provided the setting for the 2025 BOSS GP Championship finale, held as part of the Misano Historic Racing Weekend. A decisive event that brought further success for MM International Motorsport and a prestigious title.

For the team, the Misano weekend was the perfect culmination of a season of commitment and professionalism. On the one hand, Colombo’s Formula PRO class title was a great source of joy and a testament to the strength of the team’s racing programme; on the other, the team was delighted to have provided technical support to a talent like Sophia Flörsch, contributing to her brilliant debut in the series. Sophia showed outstanding pace, taking two wins in Race 1 and Race 2, leading from start to finish in both.

Simone has once again confirmed his championship dominance, following the titles he won in 2022 and 2023. The Milanese driver finished P2 in both races, demonstrating consistency, speed and great maturity. Combined with his wins at earlier rounds of the season, this result mathematically secured him the class title ahead of Marco Ghiotto of Scuderia Palladio.

The team thus wraps up 2025 with one title and two one-two finishes on the podium, confirming its status as a leading presence in the BOSS GP paddock for its expertise, reliability and team spirit.


MM International Motorsport: Season finale at Misano with the title in its sights

and an exceptional partnership

The final event of the season for MM International Motorsport takes place this weekend, as the team hits the track at Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli for the BOSS GP 2025 season finale. It promises to be a decisive, action-packed weekend, with Simone Colombo ready to fight for the Formula PRO title.

The team’s driver arrives at Misano as championship leader on 245 points, ahead of his direct rival Marco Ghiotto (Team Palladio) on 198. It’s a healthy margin, but there’s no room for complacency: valuable points are still up for grabs, and every detail could make the difference.

Max Cuccarese is absent for personal reasons. Meanwhile, the MM International Motorsport team will be busy on several fronts: the team will also provide trackside technical support for Sophia Flörsch, the well-known German driver who will be at the wheel of the 2011 Dallara GP2, car number 99, entered by the R&B Wealth Management team. This prestigious collaboration is further proof of the Italian outfit’s experience and professionalism beyond its own team colours.

The Misano weekend gets underway on Friday with two Free Practice sessions and qualifying—a new format for the series. Race 1 is scheduled for Saturday and Race 2 for Sunday, setting up a season finale promising excitement and adrenaline right down to the last lap.



Colombo dominates at Mugello

Cuccarese and Netušil deliver superb performances

An intense and action-packed weekend for MM International Motorsport at Round 5 of the BOSS GP championship.

The standout performance came from Simone Colombo, who dominated both races at the wheel of his 2011 GP2. The two-time BOSS GP champion (2022 and 2023) set the pace from the start, passing teammate Max Cuccarese, who had claimed pole, at the beginning of both races. Once in the lead, Colombo expertly managed the traffic and lapped cars, once again confirming his dominance in the category.

Close behind, young Max Cuccarese confirmed his talent and adaptability. Back at the wheel of MM’s GP2 after his F2 experience, he was immediately competitive. In Race 1, he kept the pressure on Colombo, staying within reach of the leader. Unfortunately, his Race 2 came to an early end with an engine problem while he was battling for the podium.


The weekend also brought success for Vladimir Netušil, who returned to the series with the Italian team: the Czech driver celebrated a well-earned third place in Race 2, completing a weekend in which the team was always in the spotlight.

 

With Colombo once again on the top step and his teammates consistently among the front-runners, MM International Motorsport Motorsport leaves the Tuscan weekend having reaffirmed its status as a benchmark for its rivals.


Round 5 at Mugello: MMi hits the track to defend the lead


After a short summer break, the BOSS GP 2025 Championship returns to action this weekend for Round 5, hosted at the iconic Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello. The historic Tuscan circuit, with its breathtaking elevation changes and one of the longest straights on the calendar, is set to welcome the powerful single-seaters of Europe’s fastest series.

Representing MM International Motorsport on track will be Formula PRO leader Simone Colombo, at the wheel of his Dallara GP2 2011. The Milanese driver has been a consistent performer and the benchmark so far this season. He heads to Tuscany looking to consolidate his Championship lead (193 points currently, compared with Marco Ghiotto’s 154). The Mugello is a technical yet fast circuit that could play to his strengths: his driving is always incisive and highly effective.

Alongside him, teammate Max Cuccarese, also in a Dallara GP2/11, will be aiming for a solid weekend and, why not, a place on the podium. Cuccarese has shown flashes of great pace in previous races, and Mugello could be the perfect track for a standout performance.

There is also great anticipation for the return to the track of Vladimir Netusil, a familiar name in the BOSS GP paddock, who will be back behind the wheel of a 2011 GP2 car. The Czech driver’s experience will be a valuable asset for MM, adding another competitive and consistent driver to the team.


Another exciting addition this weekend is Roland Rupprechter, who will enter his Dallara GP2/05 in the colours of the privateer team R&B Research and Wealth Management. Although entered as an independent outfit, Rupprechter will receive direct technical support from Team MMi—a testament to the excellent collaboration and team spirit in the paddock.

With the weather forecast promising sunshine and high temperatures, managing tyres, brakes and race strategies will be crucial. The Mugello circuit, with its iconic corners such as Arrabbiata 1 and 2, Correntaio and San Donato, allows no mistakes and rewards the bravest.

So, see you Friday for the first free practice sessions, Saturday for qualifying and Race 1, and Sunday for Race 2. It promises to be a thrilling, high-tension weekend, with fans sure to be eager to cheer on their favourites in the beautiful Tuscan setting.


Simone Colombo retakes the championship lead:

double win and record at Assen

A weekend to remember for Simone Colombo at Assen in the fourth round of BOSS GP, where the Italian driver for MM International Motorsport set the pace from the first Free Practice session, proving to be the fastest on track.

Colombo dominated Race 1 with a flawless performance, making a thrilling overtake on the very last lap to claim victory in Formula Pro. On Sunday, he repeated the feat in Race 2, setting a new track record with a stunning lap of 1:22.896 and confirming his outstanding form.


Teammate Max Cuccarese once again went head-to-head in a fierce battle with Marco Ghiotto (Scuderia Palladio), as at Monza. In Race 2, however, contact between the two put them both out of contention for the podium. Cuccarese nevertheless came away with a solid P4 in class in Race 1 and a P5 in Race 2.

A strong return for Jens Renstrup, who finished P5 in the Formula class in both races, showing consistency and strong pace throughout the weekend.


With his two wins at Assen, Simone Colombo returns to the top of the Formula Pro standings, heading into the second half of the season with confidence and determination.

BOSS GP now takes a summer break: the next round is at Mugello, from September 5 to 7, for another chapter of excitement and speed.


MMi Motorsport fires up for Assen: Colombo, Cuccarese and Renstrup ready for BOSS GP Round 4



After a short break, it’s time to put on helmets and gloves again for the MMi Motorsport team, which is preparing to hit the track at the adrenaline-fuelled JACK’s Casino Racing Day at Assen, the next round of the BOSS GP 2025 championship.

The Italian team will line up three drivers ready to battle on the iconic Dutch circuit: Simone Colombo, looking to build on his strong performances in recent races; Max Cuccarese, growing increasingly comfortable in the single-seater and eager to bounce back from a few unlucky moments; and the welcome return of Jens Renstrup, who is back in the team’s colours after competing in the season opener at Hockenheim.

The atmosphere is electric: the drivers are fired up and motivated, ready to make the most of every metre of the fast, technical TT Circuit Assen, which has hosted spectacular battles and plenty of surprise results over the years.

Assen is a track where passion for motorsport is palpable, and the whole team is delighted to be racing with three cars. The drivers are ready, the team is working well together, and the goal is to come home with a strong points haul. All eyes are on the lights as we await the start. MMi Motorsport is ready to put on a show once again. #staytuned

Positive weekend for MM International Motorsport at Monza: double podium for Simone Colombo and a great comeback from Max Cuccarese

A weekend of pure adrenaline at the historic Monza circuit for the 3rd round of the BOSS GP, held on the weekend of July 5–6, 2025. Competitiveness and determination once again proved to be hallmarks of MM International Motorsport, the standout team of the weekend in Brianza.



Race 1 – Colombo on the podium, Cuccarese just outside the top 3

There were promising signs in qualifying, with the track gradually drying and everyone facing the challenge of choosing the right moment to switch from rain tires to slicks. During this phase, Simone Colombo secured an excellent second place on the grid, while Max Cuccarese finished the session sixth overall. Both races then featured slipstreaming duels and fierce battles among the front-runners.

At the start of Race 1, Max made the most of his quick reactions, gaining three places. With just a few laps to go, an overtaking attempt by Marco Ghiotto of Team Palladio on Max sparked a difficult situation, with Ghiotto cutting the chicane and a lapped car also getting involved. Despite the impact on the race, Max kept his cool and finished a strong fourth overall, narrowly missing the podium.

Colombo delivered an excellent performance, maintaining his pace and precision, establishing himself among the leading contenders in the category and taking a well-deserved second place.


Race 2 – Simone on the podium again, Max makes a strong comeback

In the second race, Colombo once again starts from P2 on the grid, with Cuccarese again in sixth place. At the start, Simone immediately attacks his rival Haralds Šlēgelmilhs (HS Engineering), taking the lead and showing an aggressive, consistent race pace.

Cuccarese made another brilliant start, making a double pass under braking. But shortly afterwards, O’Connell slowed suddenly ahead of him, dropping him temporarily to P6. He refused to give up, though, and quickly passed both O’Connell and Fischer to regain P4 with a decisive drive.

The race reaches a pivotal moment when the Safety Car is deployed. At the restart, Cuccarese attacks and passes Ghiotto, but shortly afterwards Ghiotto fights back and hits Max’s Dallara F2 2018, through no fault of his own, just before the first chicane, forcing him to slow due to damage to the car. Despite dropping several places, Max responds with determination and secures an excellent P3 in class.

Two intense races packed with technical and competitive highlights. Simone scored two podium finishes, showing consistency and composure, while Max Cuccarese impressed with his fighting spirit and ability to fight back, taking home valuable points and his first podium of the season, and confirming his impressive progress.

MM International Motorsport leaves Monza with renewed confidence and motivation for the rest of the Championship. Next up: Assen, August 8–10.


Monza calls, MM answers: all set at the Brianza circuit for BOSS GP Round 3


The roar of engines is about to fill the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza, as it prepares to host one of the most eagerly anticipated rounds on the BOSS GP calendar. From July 4 to 6, the legendary “Temple of Speed” will provide the setting for a weekend packed with adrenaline. Our aces Simone Colombo and Max Cuccarese are raring to go.

For our team, Monza is truly a home race: a historic, high-speed and technical circuit that demands courage, precision and cool heads. And nobody knows better than Simone and Max how important it is to shine right here, in front of the Italian fans.

Simone Colombo has a clear goal at the wheel of his Dallara GP2 2011: to reclaim the Championship lead. After a brilliant start to the season, the Lombardy driver is keen to return to the top, and Monza could be the perfect springboard to turn the standings around. His experience and familiarity with the circuit make him one of the weekend’s leading favourites.

Alongside him, Max Cuccarese is ready to fight for every corner. Grit, determination and a strong desire to prove himself will be his weapons in what promises to be a fiercely contested weekend. There are valuable points at stake, but above all, it’s a chance to make his mark at one of the season’s most iconic rounds.

The schedule features two Free Practice sessions on Friday, followed by Qualifying and Race 1 on Saturday. Race 2 takes place on Sunday morning, with the Monza crowd ready to cheer on the drivers.

The countdown is almost over: engines fired up, adrenaline at its peak and Italian passion on the track. Go Simone and Max: make us dream!

MM International Motorsport shines at the Nürburgring: Colombo fires up the battle and claims two podiums, while Cuccarese makes impressive progress

The legendary Nürburgring circuit provided the backdrop for another thrilling BOSS GP event, delivering spectacular racing and plenty of twists and turns. Team MM International Motorsport drivers Simone Colombo and Max Cuccarese stood out from the very first Free Practice sessions, as well as in Qualifying, showing excellent pace and great determination.

The weekend’s two races were packed with excitement. Colombo and Michael Fischer (AUT, Red Rose Racing by LRT) went head-to-head in fierce battles, especially in Sunday’s Race 2, which began late due to fog and was run in changeable weather. It was the more fiercely contested of the two races: a light shower made the circuit even trickier and allowed Fischer, who knows the Nürburgring better, to close in dangerously on Colombo. At the start, Colombo took the lead ahead of all his rivals and opened up a gap. After the opening stages, he had to focus on Fischer, whose GP2/05 kept the Italian’s red GP2/11 under constant pressure. Just when it looked settled, the MM driver made one of his trademark moves: with a classy pass in the closing metres, he snatched the win from Fischer and reclaimed second place at the chequered flag.


Max, who was also driving at the Nürburgring for the first time—a very demanding circuit—responded with determination from the very first corners, fighting authoritatively for the top positions and the podium. He came away with two excellent fourth places in the Formula PRO class. Throughout the weekend, he showed great consistency and clocked up valuable mileage to develop behind the wheel of the Dallara F2 2018. His consistency and ability to adapt to the changing track conditions further demonstrated his potential, delivering a spectacular performance, especially on Sunday, when he posted very fast lap times and kept Ghiotto and numerous other rivals at bay.

A weekend that delivered valuable points and confirmed the competitiveness of Team MM International Motorsport at a circuit that continues to write legendary chapters in motorsport history.


MM International Motorsport ready to attack at the Nürburgring

From 13 to 15 June, the legendary Nürburgring will host Round 2 of the 2025 BOSS GP season. Among the drivers to watch on the German circuit are Italian team representatives Simone Colombo and Max Cuccarese, both capable of setting the Formula Pro Class battle alight.

After the season opener, Simone Colombo leads the standings on 49 points, tied with rival Harald Slegelmilhs of HS Engineering, setting up an exciting battle for the lead. Cuccarese has also made a strong start and currently sits fourth in the standings, determined to climb further up the order at the Eifel circuit.

All eyes will be on the action on track: the title fight has just begun, but every point could make a difference. #Staytuned

Double podium for Simone Colombo at Hockenheim: MM International Motorsport shines at BOSS GP weekend

It was an intense and action-packed weekend for MM International Motorsport at Hockenheimring, following the opening round of the BOSS GP 2025 Championship. The team’s three drivers—Simone Colombo, Max Cuccarese and Jens Renstrup—showed grit, speed and determination on track, achieving excellent results.


Fast from the first free practice session, Simone Colombo once again proved himself one of the category’s leading contenders. After a strong qualifying performance, he took second place (P2) in Race 1 and won Race 2, once again demonstrating his consistency and race pace. Race 2 featured a thrilling duel with Šlēgelmilhs, who shadowed rival Simone Colombo throughout. Colombo won by 5.4 seconds at the chequered flag. The two are now tied in the standings. Colombo also celebrated his win with a few donuts, entertaining the crowd in the grandstands.


Max Cuccarese enjoyed an extremely positive weekend in his first race at the wheel of an F2 2018, consistently showing a strong pace. He finished just shy of the podium in P4 in Race 1, then confirmed his competitiveness with an excellent P5 in Race 2. A convincing debut that bodes well for the rest of the season.


Always spectacular and aggressive, Jens Renstrup made his race debut in Team MM colours and showed great potential, securing a good P5 in Race 1 and another top-ten finish with 6th place in Race 2.

A weekend that immediately strengthens the team’s presence in the Championship and confirms the excellent teamwork, with a confident eye on the upcoming rounds. The next round is scheduled for the Nürburgring from June 13 to 15.


BOSS GP 2025: Championship gets underway

this weekend at Hockenheim


The wait is finally over: the 2025 BOSS GP Championship gets underway this weekend with the first round at the legendary Hockenheim circuit. It promises to be a season full of excitement, with dream cars bringing the thrill of pure speed back to the track.

MM International Motorsport is also eagerly anticipated and ready to field a line-up worth following. Italians Simone Colombo and Max Cuccarese, familiar faces in the series, have been confirmed for several weeks and are determined to make their mark from the very start of the championship. Adding to the excitement, the team has reached an agreement with Danish driver Jens Restrup in recent days. He will compete in several races this season with the team.


Race weekend in Germany

“We’re ready to give it our all. The team is motivated and the drivers are fired up for the new season. We’re also delighted to welcome Jens to our family: he’ll bring experience and speed to an increasingly competitive championship,” said Valerio Sacilotto, Team Principal of MM International Motorsport.


Next stop: Germany, where the BOSS GP cars will be back on track in front of the fans. Let the show begin!



The schedule includes two additional Free Practice sessions on Thursday, May 8, before the race weekend gets underway in earnest on Friday with two Free Practice sessions. Qualifying and Race 1 take place on Saturday, with Race 2 on Sunday.


MM International Motorsport reveals its line-up for the BOSS GP season: Colombo and Cuccarese set to race


MM International Motorsport is ready to return to the BOSS GP grid with a formidable line-up. The Italian team has confirmed Simone Colombo and Max Cuccarese
as its official drivers for the 2025 season, both determined to make their mark among Europe’s most extreme single-seaters.

Milan-born Simone Colombo, a multiple champion with the Italian team, will be at the wheel of the Dallara GP2/2011, a single-seater that has already been a leading contender in recent seasons.

Alongside him, 18-year-old Max Cuccarese from Potenza will drive a Dallara F2 2018, bringing all his grit and determination to the race.

With two highly competitive cars and a closely matched pairing, MM International Motorsport is aiming high and ready to take on its BOSS GP rivals, putting on a great show at every round of the Championship.


First track appearance of the season at the Hockenheim circuit, scheduled for May 8–11.


Winter testing in preparation for the 2025 season for MM

The 2025 BOSS GP season is taking shape for Italian team MM International Motorsport, with its regular winter tests—an important fixture for the team and drivers as they prepare for the championship. The sessions are taking place at selected circuits across Europe, mainly in Spain but also in Italy, providing the ideal opportunity to fine-tune setups, test new technical solutions and help drivers get (back) up to speed in their single-seaters.

Winter conditions add another challenge, as colder temperatures affect tyre behaviour and car aerodynamics. The team is therefore working hard to gather valuable data ahead of the opening races of the season. These test days also give new drivers a chance to familiarise themselves with the series, while the more experienced drivers can build on their feel for the car.

Anticipation ahead of the season is running high, with the first official round set to see the BOSS GP drivers back in action and bringing excitement to motorsport fans over the May 9–11 weekend at the Hockenheim circuit in Germany.

MM is currently finalising its driver line-up and will announce in the coming weeks who will take to the grid to represent the team in the 2025 season.


MM breaks the Navarra lap record

Following the completion of the extension works at the Spanish Circuito de Navarra in September 2024, MM International Motorsport took part in test days in November to prepare for the 2025 season.

On this occasion, as well as gathering a wealth of valuable technical data, MM, supported by ATM, also set a significant record. The Italian team set a new lap record of 1:31.750 with its Dallara F2 2018.

Originally opened in June 2010, the Navarra circuit now features a new 4.3 km layout combining fast and slow sections with more technical parts, offering an enjoyable challenge even for the most experienced drivers.

MM’s result is the fruit of the team’s hard work, supported by prestigious technical partners such as ATM.

MMI Motorsport: Misano season finale, November 1–3



A challenging weekend for MM at the 2024 BOSS GP season finale at Misano. From the first free practice session, Simone Colombo, a title contender in his class, had to contend with engine problems, but still qualified in P3. Juju Noda took pole in qualifying, with Max Cuccarese in second and Vladimir Netusil in sixth.



Race 1

Race 1 got off to a hectic start, with the first twist coming when Antonio Pizzonia (HS Engineering), the overall pole-sitter, struggled to get going during the rolling start in his World Series V8 4.5. The cars behind him fortunately managed to pass, and Marco Ghiotto first, followed by Harald Schlegelmilch, took the lead before Pizzonia reclaimed it. It was during these opening laps that Colombo and Ghiotto engaged in a fierce battle, which unfortunately resulted in contact at Turn 2. Simone’s Dallara overturned (fortunately, the driver was unhurt), forcing the MM driver to retire, while Ghiotto received a drive-through penalty and the safety car was deployed.

Further back, Max Cuccarese and Juju Noda were also battling, running P1 and P2 in the Formula class respectively. After a superb pass on Juju, Max led the group until the penultimate lap. Just a few corners from the finish, however, the Japanese driver tried a risky pass on her teammate, causing a collision at the final corner. Neither driver finished the race, and Juju received a 25-second penalty after being found responsible for the incident. Meanwhile, Vladimir Netusil took advantage and beat O'Connell to the line in a photo finish, securing a superb win for MM and bringing some smiles back to the garage.

A heated post-race argument took place between Juju’s manager, Hideki Noda, and team members, ending with the team’s decision not to let the Japanese driver compete in Sunday’s race. MM has therefore decided to end its collaboration with Noda due to behaviour inconsistent with its principles of sportsmanship and teamwork.



Race 2

On Sunday, Colombo was unfortunately ruled out before even taking to the track by an unexplained technical problem with his Dallara GP2, something the team had never encountered before. Incredibly, Cuccarese’s car suffered the same fate. Max was given Juju’s car, while Simone had to sit out, as the team had no other car available that could be adapted for him in the short time before the race. He was therefore forced to give up his last hopes of taking the title.

After a hard-fought start, Cuccarese once again takes the lead in superb style, just as he did the day before. But a mistake on the final lap costs him the win, as Paul O'Connell celebrates on the top step of the podium, followed by Ghiotto, who clinches the title. Max has to settle for P3. Vladimir Netusil also delivers another strong performance, finishing Race 2 in fourth place.

Back at the workshop, the MM team has unfortunately confirmed that Colombo and Cuccarese’s cars were sabotaged, following a theft the night before Race 2 (a wire harness was cut with a utility knife, in the same position on both cars). Despite their great disappointment, MM is avoiding controversy and firmly reaffirming its values of integrity, respect and fairness in sport.

MM would like to thank the BOSS GP organisers for their support throughout the Championship, as well as the other teams for their support during this difficult time at the last race.


MM TEAM COLOURS TRIUMPH ON HOME SOIL AT MUGELLO

Another highly satisfying weekend for MM International Motorsport, thanks not only to Simone Colombo’s double victory, but also to confirmation of young Max Cuccarese’s great potential, with P2 finishes in both races, and Vladimir Netusil’s excellent race debut at the wheel of a Dallara GP2.

The weekend at Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello, the MM team’s home race, confirmed the Italian team’s strength on track.

Race 1

After dominating both the free practice sessions and qualifying in his class, Simone Colombo stamped his authority on Race 1, taking the overall win ahead of teammate Max Cuccarese and Ingo Gerstl’s F1 car. Max delivered an impressive performance, consistently matching his teammate’s pace despite being forced to miss one free practice session due to a technical issue. New team driver Vladimir Netusil from the Czech Republic had some bad luck. Despite showing great race pace, his lack of experience led to a mistake while attempting to overtake Marco Ghiotto at the penultimate corner, dropping him to fourth and sadly costing MM what looked like a near-certain one-two-three on the podium.

Race 2

Once again, Simone and Max line up side by side on the grid for Race 2, with Max immediately shadowing his teammate and fighting his way to second place in Formula Class, just a few tenths behind Simone. Vladimir, affectionately nicknamed “The Pitbull” by the team for his attacking prowess, starts from the third row (P6 overall and P4 in the Formula standings) and is the fastest driver on track from the opening laps. On lap four, while running in fourth, he unfortunately makes a mistake during a battle with Ghiotto, spins and is forced to retire.

With just one round remaining in this fantastic and fiercely contested 2024 season, Marco Ghiotto of Scuderia Palladio leads the championship with 210 points. Our own Simone Colombo is second with 197.5 points, followed by Juju Noda in third with 146. After a series of clashes with her Super Formula commitments, Juju will return to the wheel of the Dallara GP2 with MM for the final BOSS GP round of the season at Misano. She will certainly do her best to score as many points as possible and make life difficult for her rivals.

See you at the Season Finale in Misano, November 1–3.

Another weekend at the top of the standings for MM at Assen

Round 4 of the 2024 BOSS GP Championship season at the Dutch circuit of Assen concluded just a few days ago, once again bringing valuable points and great satisfaction to the MM team.

From the very first Free Practice sessions, it was clear who would be the weekend’s front-runners, battling for the top step of the podium: our own Simone Colombo topped the times in both Friday sessions, while Juju Noda dominated Qualifying, putting her Dallara GP2/2011 on pole ahead of her teammate. Max Cuccarese also impressed, finishing P5 overall and P4 in the Formula Class standings on his Championship debut.



Race 1

Race 1 ended with a magnificent one-two for Colombo and Cuccarese, in first and second place respectively, ahead of Marco Ghiotto of Scuderia Palladio. Eighteen-year-old Max’s first-ever BOSS GP podium made for a hugely satisfying debut and a result to remember. Japan’s Juju Noda finished fifth. Starting from pole, she made a mistake at the start and found herself down in seventh on the first lap, caught in traffic. Despite her good pace, a long Safety Car period prevented her from making up enough ground, and she had to settle for fifth at the finish.

Race 2

In Race 2, the order was turned on its head, with Juju taking the win ahead of Ghiotto and teammate Max, who once again enjoyed the thrill of a thoroughly deserved podium finish. Simone had a tough race. Starting just behind Juju, he made a mistake at the fast sweeping corner after a safety car restart, then suffered a mechanical issue with the right rear suspension. The incident ended his race and left him 16th in the final standings.

With the Assen race behind them, the BOSS GP Championship will return to the track in October and November for the MM team’s home rounds at Mugello and Misano. Simone and Juju, currently tied for second in the standings on 146 points, will both give it their all to try to win the 2024 Formula Class title, at the expense of what appears to be the MM team’s most feared rival, Marco Ghiotto.

Meanwhile, the Italian team will continue working tirelessly, with a series of tests already scheduled for immediately after Ferragosto to prepare for the final part of the season.

MM at Assen with 3 official drivers

Round 4 of the 2024 BOSS GP Championship gets underway this weekend at the Assen circuit in the Netherlands.

Simone Colombo and Juju Noda will be joined for the first time by the team’s new addition, 18-year-old Potenza native Massimiliano Cuccarese. Max will compete in the final three rounds of the season, also driving a Dallara GP2 for the Italian team, and despite his limited experience, he promises to do very well. His main goal for this race is to gain experience and settle in with the team, while Simone and Juju resume their Championship battle where they left off in June at the Red Bull Ring.

Simone Colombo is currently second in the FORMULA class Championship standings with 116 points, just 8 points behind Marco Ghiotto of Scuderia Palladio. Japan’s Noda is currently third, 13 points behind her teammate.

There will be no shortage of on-track action at Assen, and the MM team drivers will give it their all to bring home a great result and as many Championship points as possible.

All eyes will be on the Dutch circuit from Friday, August 2, when the engines fire up for the first time for Free Practice, scheduled to start at 10:57 a.m.

Team MM once again among the leaders at the Red Bull Ring

Another weekend got off to the best possible start for the Italian team at the Red Bull Ring in Austria last weekend. Juju Noda and Simone Colombo showed they were the drivers to beat from the first Free Practice sessions of Round 3 of the 2024 BOSS GP Championship, placing their Dallara GP2/2011 cars P2 and P3 overall in both Friday sessions, and P1 and P2 in the Formula class.

Juju also edged her teammate Simone by just over a tenth of a second in Saturday’s qualifying session.

Race 1 and Race 2

Simone Colombo won Race 1, while Juju, despite showing great speed throughout the weekend, finished only P7 after the race stewards handed her a penalty for an incorrect position at the rolling start.

Race 2 was a completely different story for the Japanese driver, who powered her way to the top step of the Formula Class podium in a memorable race. It was excellent preparation for her upcoming appearance in Round 3 of the Super Formula Championship, which she is contesting alongside BOSS GP in 2024. The event takes place at Sportsland SUGO in Japan on the weekend of June 22–23.

The second race proved unlucky for Simone Colombo. After another strong start, an issue with the battery charging alternator forced him to retire with just five laps remaining, leaving him to settle for 15th place.

As for the Formula Class Championship, following the Austrian round, Simone has lost the championship lead to his rival Marco Ghiotto of Scuderia Palladio, who currently leads with 124 points to Simone’s 116. This sets the stage for a fiercely contested remainder of the season. Juju is also doing very well: with an excellent points haul this weekend, she moves up to third in the standings, just 13 points behind her teammate.

Simone Colombo repeats his Nürburgring success in Race 1 and Race 2 and extends his championship lead 

Simone Colombo delivered a result to remember at the second round of the 2024 BOSS GP Championship, held last weekend at the Nürburgring in Germany.

The Milanese driver led the way from Friday, topping Free Practice, then Qualifying and Race 1 on Saturday, and taking his Dallara GP2/2011 to the top of the Formula class again in Sunday’s Race 2.

Simone extends his lead in the drivers’ standings, where he now tops the table with 87 points, nine points ahead of Marco Ghiotto of Scuderia Palladio.

It was a more challenging weekend for Japanese driver Juju Noda, currently P4 in the standings with 62 points. Unfortunately, her car suffered an irreparable electrical failure during practice. But thanks to a tremendous team effort, along with support from their rivals at Scuderia Palladio (Nardi Compressori Racing), the team managed to adapt its spare car and get Juju out for qualifying, where she secured an excellent P3 overall (P2 in the Formula class), just behind her teammate Simone.

Race 1 and Race 2

Race 1 saw a thrilling duel between the two teammates from the very first corner. Starting from pole, Simone tried to hold off his teammate, who initially got the better of him. But after just a few metres, Simone reclaimed P1, while Juju had to fight her way back through the field. Both drivers deservedly made the podium, with Simone first and Juju on the third step.

The rivalry between the team’s two drivers continued in Race 2, producing a thrilling battle until Juju lost the rear and spun while attempting to pass her teammate, forcing her to retire. She was understandably disappointed, as was the whole team, which had worked so hard to give her another chance to show her immense potential on track. Once again, the team would like to congratulate both drivers on their excellent performances throughout the weekend.



The next round is in two weekends’ time at the Red Bull Ring, on 8–9 June.


Tough weekend, but two podiums for the MM team at Hockenheim

The opening round of the 2024 BOSS GP Championship did not get off to the best start for Italian team MM International Motorsport, but both factory drivers finished on the podium in Race 2. A few minor technical issues in Friday’s Free Practice sessions prevented the team from unlocking the full potential of its Dallara GP2/2011 cars. Nevertheless, Milan’s Simone Colombo and Japan’s Juju Noda were both very quick on track, finishing P3 and P4 overall respectively (P1 and P2 in the Formula Class standings).

Colombo put in a mega performance in Qualifying, setting a time of 1:26.574 to take second overall (P1 in the Formula class), just ahead of his teammate Juju Noda, who, due to a different strategy from Colombo’s, was unable to put together the perfect lap needed to secure pole position. 

Race 1 and Race 2

Race 1 was one to forget for both drivers. Starting side by side on the grid, Juju got a great launch in the rolling start and managed to pass her teammate. However, he failed to make it through Turn 1 and his front-left endplate hit Juju’s right-rear tyre, puncturing it. Both drivers were out, with only Simone managing to finish the race, in 14th place, and take home a few consolation points.

Race 2 was a completely different story, with Simone and Juju pulling away from the field (third-place Marco Ghiotto of Scuderia Palladio finished 39.695 seconds behind MM’s Japanese driver). Simone took the win, standing atop the podium in the Formula class, with Juju right on his heels in second, just five tenths behind his teammate after 13 laps.



Next event

just two weeks from now at the Nürburgring, where we expect plenty of excitement and a great battle on track!

Juju Noda joins the team for the 2024 BOSS GP season

BREAKING NEWS – MM International Motorsport is delighted to welcome Juju Noda to the team for the 2024 BOSS GP season.

Juju was born in Tokyo in 2006. The daughter of Formula 1 driver Hideki Noda, she inherited his love of speed. Juju started karting at the age of 3 and made her racing debut at 4. From 2017, she competed in the “FORMULA UNDER 17 & SENIOR” series. She drove a Formula 4 car at age 11 and won all three races she entered.

After moving to Europe to gain experience in Danish F4 and the W Series, Juju went on to win the 2023 Italian F3 championship (Zinox series) and became the first woman ever to win a Euroformula Open race that same year.

She faces some major new challenges in 2024, becoming the first Japanese woman and the youngest driver to compete in SUPER Formula, one of the world’s most competitive series, while also racing in Europe with MM International Motorsport in the BOSS GP series.

Welcome to the MM family, Juju!

Simone Colombo returns for the 2024 BOSS GP season.

BREAKING NEWS – MM International Motorsport is pleased to announce that it has extended its collaboration agreement with driver Simone Colombo for the 2024 BOSS GP season.

Simone was born in Rho (Milan) in April 1987. Between 2008 and 2012, he competed in various regional, national and international karting races. After a break of around ten years away from racing, he made his BOSS GP debut in 2021 at the wheel of an MM team car, achieving outstanding results in his rookie season and taking the runner-up title in the Formula class.

In 2022 and 2023, he comfortably beat his rivals to claim the BOSS GP Formula Class title. In 2024, he’ll be back on track as an official MM team driver in his Dallara GP2, ready to defend his champion status and fly the Italian team’s flag high once again.

Grand Finale at Mugello

MOTORSPORT


The final round of the 2023 BOSS GP season once again saw the complete dominance of Simone Colombo, official driver for MM International Motorsport and reigning Formula Class champion. On home soil in Tuscany, the Milanese driver took a double win in Race 1 and Race 2, further extending his lead in the standings.

Race 1 also saw Marc Faggionato make a great comeback. After stalling on the starting grid, he climbed from last to third to claim a well-deserved podium finish.

Salvatore De Plano also put in a strong performance, finishing fourth in Race 1.


In Race 2, Colombo, starting from pole position, remains firmly in the lead all the way to the finish. After managing to outwit Marco Ghiotto (Scuderia Palladio) at the first corner, Faggionato was able to keep him at bay for more than half the race. Unfortunately, in the closing stages, a small mistake that took him off the racing line forced him to concede the second step on the podium to his rival, though he still finished an excellent third.

Salvatore de Plano once again rounded off a weekend of solid performances with an excellent 4th-place finish.

A huge thank you to the entire MM team staff for their hard work throughout the season, which made it possible to win the Formula Class Championship for the second year in a row. None of this would have been possible without them! And of course, congratulations once again to Simone Colombo on his championship title, and to all the drivers who chose the Italian team this year to hit the track and fight for victory.


See you next year—we’ll be ready to give it our all! In the meantime, we’ll be back on track as soon as possible to prepare for the next challenge!


SIMONE COLOMBO

2023 BOSS GP FORMULA CLASS CHAMPION

TITLE DECIDED AT MONZA

MM International Motorsport driver Simone Colombo has won the 2023 BOSS GP Formula Class title for the second year running, following last year’s victory, with two races to spare over Marco Ghiotto (Scuderia Palladio).

Simone arrived at Monza fired up for the weekend in front of his home crowd, confident in his own potential and that of the team. He immediately set the pace, topping both Friday free practice sessions on a wet track.

Qualifying took place in difficult conditions on a damp track. Unfortunately, Simone’s eight minutes weren’t enough to secure pole position and put the finishing touch on a perfect weekend; pole went to his direct title rival, Marco Ghiotto. David Richert was very quick in the wet at the wheel of the team’s second Dallara GP2 for the Monza weekend. He felt at home in the car from the first laps and finished Qualifying third.


RACE 1

Also run on a damp track with slick tyres, it featured a fantastic wheel-to-wheel duel between Colombo and Ghiotto, ending in contact between the two cars. Fortunately, neither was damaged, but Ghiotto had to “settle” for third place, leaving the win to the MM driver. It was an unlucky race for David Richert, who unfortunately made a mistake on the pit exit: a wet kerb caused him to lose control of the car and forced him to retire.






RACE 2

Simone Colombo starts from second on the grid in perfect weather conditions, with a dry track and the chance to get an excellent feel for the circuit straight away and clock lap after lap at speed. At the Roggia chicane, Simone seizes the opportunity to pass rival Ghiotto, capitalising on his mistake to claim the top step of the podium once again.

Richert was also pleased with an excellent fifth place in Race 2, using the first half of the race to get to grips with the car in the dry, after wet or damp conditions had prevailed throughout the weekend.


See you at Mugello



With this latest win, Simone has secured the Formula Class 2023 Championship title for the second consecutive year. Congratulations to him and the whole team for their hard work, and to their rivals—especially Ghiotto—who made this a fantastic and fiercely contested season.


See you at Mugello—by then the title may be decided, but we’ll still be eager to perform and show what we can do!

David Richert racing at Monza with MMi

MMi Motorsport is proud to announce that Canadian driver David Richert will compete in the sixth round of the 2023 BOSS GP Championship, the “Nardi Compressori BOSS GP Race”, taking place this weekend, September 22–24, at the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza. Richert will drive a Dallara GP2 car for the Italian team.

A top-level driver with extensive experience and an impressive record, including second place in last season’s Drexler Automotive Formula 3 Cup.


David will join teammate Simone Colombo, currently leading the BOSS GP Formula Class standings after five rounds, with 247 points.


Everyone at MM welcomes David aboard and is confident of a great result on track at the Monza weekend!

MM International Motorsport flies the flag at Misano, July 22–23

It was a weekend of high temperatures at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, where the fourth round of the BOSS GP Series delivered plenty of thrills for MM International Motorsport.


The Italian team fielded three drivers: Formula Class championship leader Simone Colombo, Monegasque driver Marc Faggionato and Brazilian driver Adriano Buzaid.

The latter enjoyed an authoritative weekend, taking a thoroughly deserved victory in Race 2 by 0.8 seconds over his closest rival throughout the weekend, Harald Schlegelmilch of HS Engineering.

Making his BOSS GP debut after a 13-year break from single-seater racing—his last race in F3—this 35-year-old Brazilian claimed Pole Position in the Formula Class qualifying session (P2

overall) and finished second in Race 1, behind Schlegelmilch and ahead of his teammate, Italian driver Simone Colombo.

Marc Faggionato also secured a strong 6th-place finish on his return to the track after missing the Red Bull Ring round.

Race 2 was a completely different story: Buzaid turned things around and crossed the finish line ahead of Schlegelmilch to take the win. Colombo secured another excellent third place, keeping his Dallara ahead of championship rival Marco Ghiotto (Scuderia Palladio) and earning crucial points in the 2023 title fight.

Another sixth-place finish for Faggionato, who showed good race pace and delivered strong performances throughout the weekend.


After celebrating their excellent results, the MM team will get straight back to work preparing for the next BOSS GP round, scheduled just before Ferragosto, on August 12–13 at Assen in the Netherlands, as part of Jack’s Racing Day.
