Abu Dhabi: Monti wins the 2015 Maserati Trofeo World Series
Monti clinched the 2015 season in the best way possible: taking Race 1 in this final round at the Yas Marina circuit in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates). "It is a fantastic ending", commented Romain Monti. "Now it is time to celebrate the championship victory. It is the first title of my career and it comes with a marque like Maserati: I couldn't ask for more".

Sernagiotto, from Veneto, headed a pack of four drivers who applied the pressure to the very end. Monti, fresh from his title win, managed to climb to second spot after starting on tenth and with a 50kg weight handicap on board. Monti joins Mauro Calamia (2014 winner), Renaud Kuppens (2013 and 2012), David Baldi (2011) and Pietro Zumerle (2010) n the Maserati Trofeo Hall of Fame,
