Tickets for the 10th edition Hankook 12H MUGELLO are now available to purchase at 24hseries.com. 

Regularly the longest motor race to be held at the Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello each year, the Hankook 12H MUGELLO is scheduled to open the 2024 24H SERIES powered by Hankook European season on 22-23-24 March, and will be hosted by CREVENTIC for a 10th time, making the 12-hour endurance event the third most tenured race on the 24H SERIES calendar.

CREVENTIC would like to welcome fans to enjoy the on-track action on Friday 22 March, Saturday 23 March and Sunday 24 March, with paddock access available for select ticket holders across all three days. Tickets can be acquired via the button link below.

On the Friday, race fans can access the centre grandstand overlooking the start-finish straight and the box terrace absolutely free! Admission to the grassy ‘lawn’ area overlooking turn eight – Arrabiata 1 – is also free on the Friday, during which competitors are scheduled to complete a Free Practice session between 11.45 hrs and 13.15 hrs local time (this follows an optional Private Test session in the morning between 09.00 hrs and 10.30 hrs) ahead of two hours of Qualifying later that afternoon. 

TCE and GT4 teams and drivers will contest three, 15-minute qualifying sessions between 14.30 hrs and 15.25 hrs, while GT3, 992 and GTX runners, after a five-minute interval, will run their own-dedicated 15-minute qualifying between 15.35 hrs and 16.30 hrs.

The race is scheduled to begin at 12.30 hrs on Saturday 23 March, with ‘part one’ running for 6.5 hours until 19.00 hrs. After the event’s traditional overnight intervention, the race will resume at 09.30 hrs on Sunday 24 March, and will run uninterrupted until the chequered flag is flown at 15.00 hrs that afternoon. Tickets for the central grandstand and the terrace box are available from €15 per person per day, while spectators can also watch the track action from the ‘lawn’ on Saturday and Sunday for €5 per person per day. 

Grandstand ticket holders will be granted access to the paddock on Saturday and Sunday, and will also be welcomed to the grid ahead of Saturday’s race start.  

Reduced ticket prices – €10 – are available for children and teenagers under the age of 18.

Tickets are available to purchase online HERE and at the ticket box at the main entrance. 

First held in 2014, the 12-hour, Hankook 12H MUGELLO remains the longest motor race to be held annually at the Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello, and revived a long-held tradition of endurance racing in the region. Since the Ferrari-owned circuit’s opening in 1974, four 1,000km races and six 6-hour events were held between 1975 and 1984 intermittently as part of the World Sportscar Championship, with two further endurance races – a four-hour and a three-hour – hosted as part of the FIA GT Championship in 1997 and 2006. 

Fittingly, the first edition of the Hankook 12H MUGELLO in 2014 was won by a Ferrari, as the 458 GT3 of AF Corse beat the Porsche 997 GT3 R of Stadler Motorsport – the latter that year’s Hankook 24H DUBAI winner – by a scant 5.417 seconds. For close to 10 years, this result remained the closest overall winning margin in 24H SERIES history, and is still an event record to this day!

Perennial 24H SERIES frontrunner – and 2017 Overall GT Teams’ ‘Continents’ champion – Herberth Motorsport made a decisive start by winning its first-ever 24H SERIES race overall on its debut in 2015. Since then, the Bavarian team has taken two more wins – in 2020 and 2021, the former the only time the Hankook 12H MUGELLO closed rather than opened the 24H SERIES European season – and holds the current record for most overall wins at the event with three. 

Granted, 2019 Overall GT Teams’ ‘Europe’ champion Scuderia Praha runs Herberth Motorsport close, having taken two consecutive wins in 2017 and 2019 (the event was not held in 2018) with its Ferrari 488 GT3. These, plus AF Corse’s win in 2014, mean Porsche and the Prancing Horse are level-pegging with overall victories at the event with three. 

Interestingly, the Hankook 12H MUGELLO has celebrated more than a few maiden winners in the 24H SERIES. Indeed, of the six teams to have won the event outright, FIVE took their first overall series win in the process. The latest addition was Haas RT in 2023, in what was, incredibly, only the Antiguan team’s third EVER race!
