The sixth Maserati Trofeo World Series confirms its standing as a truly global event with the announcement of the 2015 race calendar which unfolds across three continents and includes three new circuits, taking the total visited since 2010 to twenty-five.
The weekend of 21-22 March sees the Maserati Racing Academy take place at Vallelunga (Italy) and is dedicated to training new drivers under the expert eye of professional instructors and drivers. Two separate classes based on the drivers’ abilities are planned: beginners for those without any experience of competition and experienced for those with track know-how.
At the end of the ‘course’, participants will have the opportunity to take the test to gain the licence that allows entry into the Trofeo World Series (FIA Internazionale C).
There will be a competitive edge to the Racing Academy with the two top drivers awarded the opportunity to race, free of charge, at the season’s opening round (25-26 April at Paul Ricard). The two winners will share the drive of a Maserati and will enjoy the support of an instructor during the entire weekend.
The cost of the basic package is €9,500 and provides students with a complete overview, inclusive of in-depth theoretical sessions on track techniques and regulations as well as intense stints on the track. For those aiming to take part in a real race, a promotional package that includes the Racing Academy, pre-season group test session and Race 1 in the 2015 Trofeo, is available for €25,000.
The Trofeo World Series will kick off in France on 26 April, at Paul Ricard; a weekend that will also see the official start of season test sessions run. Round 2 will be challenged at Spielberg, Austria, on 24 May and will see the circuit make its first Trofeo appearance. On 28 June comes another new track: Road America in Wisconsin, USA. The Trofeo then makes a return to VIR – Danville, in Virginia, on 23 August.
On 25 October the focus will shift to Asia as the championship touches down at Suzuka, Japan, for the first time ever. It will then be on to Abu Dhabi, for the third straight year, for the final stage of the series
