ABOUT THE SERIES:
The Ferrari Challenge was created to allow Ferrari customers a chance to enjoy their cars in a structured competitive environment, racing against other Ferrari owners on some of the great racetracks in North America. Since 2000, the featured car has been the 360 Challenge ? a special racing version has been built by the Ferrari factory just for the series. For the 2006 series, the F430 Challenge has been introduced and will be racing alongside the 360 Challenge.
KART CHALLENGE:
For 2006, Ferrari has added an exciting new kart experience to the Ferrari Challenge race weekends. The Kart Challenge will take place on a specially-designed course in the paddock and spectators, drivers, sponsors and guests are invited to compete. Participants will take to the track in 13-horsepower racing karts in a competition to find the fastest driver. The driver who sets the best lap time of the weekend will win a Ferrari Driving Experience - Ferrari North America's two-day driving course in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec.
