The Ferrari Challenge UK series returns to Brands Hatch for the opening races of the 2020 season. The UK series, the only national championship in the Ferrari Challenge family, is back following the hugely successful inaugural season in 2019.
Using both the historic Indy and GP circuits, there will be three races over the course of the weekend, with support coming from the Ferrari Owners’ Club GB Pirelli Ferrari formula classic series once again. An impressive grid of drivers, including many new drivers as well as several who took part in the championship’s inaugural season last year, are ready to get behind the wheel of their Ferrari 488 Challenge.
The 488 Challenge is the first turbo-charged model to race in the Ferrari Challenge series, and it is also the most powerful Ferrari Challenge car ever. The car is powered by a 670hp 3.9-litre V8 derived from the series production engine that has won several International Engine of the Year Awards. Thanks to extensive development of the car’s engine, aerodynamics and chassis, the 488 Challenge has achieved new levels of performance and driver involvement.
In line with the latest government guidance, day visitors will be able to attend the meeting with Brands Hatch currently operating with a reduced capacity. a range of hygiene and social distancing measures will be in place to ensure that visits are safe and enjoyable.
