The event, whose first edition was held in 2019 in Rome, is a unique format that brings together all the most important motorsport disciplines, both real and virtual.
These motorsport Olympics include, for each nation, only one driver to represent them for each category.
Championship
The Ferrari Challenge is one of the most prestigious and long-running single-brand championships, the first to receive ISO 20121 certification at continental level for a sustainable event management system.
For 32 years it has allowed young talents and gentleman drivers to challenge themselves on the most iconic tracks in the world thanks to the two international series – Europe and North America – and national series – UK and Japan – at the wheel of the brand new Ferrari 296 Challenge.

Car
Presented during the 2023 Ferrari World Finals, the 296 Challenge is the first 6-cylinder to be used in the championship and represents a new point of reference in terms of performance and driving pleasure, with over 234 HP/L of specific power available and an aerodynamic load of 870 kg at 250 km/h, the result of refined technical solutions such as the S-Duct.
As per tradition, the 296 Challenge is also equipped with Pirelli tires developed specifically for this model.
Format
To adapt to the program of the event, the traditional weekend format will be modified by proposing, after the free practice sessions, the qualification, the Qualifying Race and the Medal Race which will award the gold, silver and bronze medals.

Reactions
The announcement of the choice of the Ferrari Challenge as the representative single-make series within the FIA Motorsport Games was welcomed with great satisfaction by Andrea Mladosic, Head of the Ferrari Challenge & Pilot Course: “We are very satisfied with this recognition because it testifies, once again, to the level expressed by the Ferrari Challenge. I'm sure that the spectacle that the races will offer will be particularly appreciated by fans.”
“I thank SRO Motorsports Group and the FIA for choosing the Ferrari Challenge for this important event,” commented Antonello Coletta, Head of Endurance and Corse Clienti.
“For over thirty years our series has been able to offer highly talented drivers – men and women – who have had the opportunity to carve out a significant space for themselves in the main championships reserved for GT cars, but also for thousands of our sporting customers to find an environment both professional and family, where their passion for competitions could find the right stage”.
