(23 November 2020)— Ferrari North America has released the 2021 competition calendar for Ferrari Challenge, which will also see the popular Club Competizioni GT Club, XX Programmes and F1 Clienti integrated into the schedule.
Ferrari Challenge, which launched in Europe in 1993 and staged its inaugural North American championship in 1994, will make visits to some of the most iconic tracks on the continent in 2021 before racing to a conclusion at Ferrari Finali Mondiali at Mugello in November.
The 2021 season features a return to Sonoma Raceway, Road America, and Virginia International Raceway for the series.
Having first appeared as part of the event in 1995, Ferrari Challenge North America will extend its history at the Circuit Gilles Villenueve with a return to Montreal as part of the Formula 1 weekend in June.
The Indianapolis round will be the iconic Ferrari Racing Days – a classic alignment of Ferrari Challenge along with the XX Programme and F1 Clienti in one weekend. Wisconsin’s driver and fan favorite Road America will mark the penultimate event of the 2021 championship with a September visit to the 4-mile circuit.
“We are immensely pleased with the continued growth and development of the Ferrari Challenge series in North America,” said Antonello Coletta – head of Ferrari Attività Sportive GT. “The 2021 calendar will bring the largest single-make GT series in North America to some of the best driver’s tracks the country has to offer while also responsibly offering the exceptional experience that our clients have come to expect.”
Additionally, several Ferrari Challenge weekends will integrate Club Competizioni GT, which will allow owners of Ferrari GT racing cars built over the last three decades to compete at Ferrari-organized events, with eligible entries including modern Ferrari 488 GTE and GT3 machines as well as the Ferrari F40 Competizione.
