Cristiano Maciel and Rui Aguas (AF Corse Ferrari 296 Challenge) entered the final weekend of the GT Winter Series season with a slim advantage of eight points in the overall championship. Alessio Ruffini and Milos Pavlovic of Auto Sport Racing came into Barcelona in second. However, the deck was stacked against the Italo-Croatian duo in their Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo Evo II.
Points are scored within the classes of the GT Winter Series, with greater rewards coming for competitors in divisions with larger grids. Only three cars were entered into the Cup 4 class for Super Trofeo Lamborghinis, meaning a maximum of 14 points could be scored for Ruffini and Pavlovic.
