The 4 Hours of Monza of the European Le Mans Series opened two weeks of endurance racing in the Temple of Speed. After the excitement for the public in the pre-race, with the motorbike pirouettes of trials biker Julien Perret and the national anthem sung by former All Together Now contestant Carola Campagna, it was battle on the track, with victory going to the French trio of the IDEC Sport Lafargue-Chatin-Pilet team ahead of Panis Racing. On the weekend that served as a prelude to the WEC 6 Hours of Monza (8-10 July), drivers from three other series also competed: Michelin Le Mans Cup, Ligier European Series and Mitjet Italia.
