Maserati Celebrates Its Racing Heritage With New 250F Liveries

Maserati is starting the 2026 GT2 European Series season at Monza with both a strong racing presence and a tribute to its past. The brand will have five Maserati GT2 cars on the grid and will debut new 250F-inspired liveries for the Maserati GT2 and road-legal GT2 Stradale.

The timing is symbolic. Maserati is celebrating both 100 years of the Trident logo and a century since the brand first competed in a race. In 1926, the Maserati Tipo 26 became the first car to wear the Trident badge and won its class at the Targa Florio with Alfieri Maserati driving.

The new liveries were created through the Maserati Fuoriserie personalization program and take inspiration from the legendary Maserati 250F, one of the most important Formula 1 cars of the 1950s.

The 250F became a motorsport icon with Juan Manuel Fangio, who drove it to Formula 1 world titles in 1954 and 1957. It also scored major wins in Argentina, Belgium, Monaco and France, while Stirling Moss won with the car in Monaco and Italy in 1956.

The 250F also has a special place in history through Maria Teresa de Filippis, the first woman to qualify for a Formula 1 Grand Prix in 1958. Maserati is using that legacy to connect its modern GT2 program with one of the brand’s golden racing eras.

The special livery will appear on a one-off Maserati GT2 and will also be available for the Maserati GT2 Stradale, reinforcing the brand’s “from track to road” philosophy. Maserati says racing remains a development laboratory for technologies and ideas that later influence road cars.

At Monza, Maserati will compete with five GT2 cars entered by three teams. LP Racing and DINAMIC Motorsport will race in Pro-Am, while LP Racing and the new i4Race team will compete in Silver. Philippe Prette, Am-Class champion in 2024 and 2025, returns in the new Master class with the number 1 Maserati GT2.

The 2026 calendar starts at Monza before moving to Spa-Francorchamps, Misano, Zandvoort and Portimão. Maserati is also continuing its involvement in the SRO GT Academy, with the GT2 Academy winner offered a fully funded drive in the 2027 GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup.

The project also highlights Maserati’s current road-car lineup. The GT2 Stradale is the road-legal version of the GT2 race car, while the brand’s wider range includes the Grecale, GranTurismo, GranCabrio, Folgore electric models, MCPURA and track-only MCXtrema.

For Maserati, the Monza debut is more than a livery reveal. It is a way to connect the Trident’s first racing century with its current GT2 ambitions, using one of its most famous Formula 1 cars as the bridge between heritage, competition and modern performance.
