Ferrari Challenge North America Embracing Calendar Shakeup

Ahead of its 33rd season, Ferrari Challenge North America is hitting the road from coast-to-coast and in between – and fans will be treated to a handful of different locations this year than what was seen in 2025.

To start, an exciting challenge kicks off the six-event calendar, as the series officially gathers for the first time at The Thermal Club.

Located in the Coachella Valley, less than an hour from Palm Springs, Calif., the Club’s luxurious setting will be the perfect backdrop for nearly 100 Ferrari race cars expected to join for the weekend across Ferrari Challenge, Club Challenge and Club Competizioni GT.

Prior to 2026, Ferrari Challenge’s lone visit to Thermal took the form of a one-off test session in 2017.

Now, this year’s season opener is scheduled for March 13-15, and several dozen Ferrari Challenge drivers enjoyed a first opportunity on track at Thermal during a two-day test in late February.

From the California desert to the center of Florida, Ferrari Challenge travels to Sebring International Raceway for Rounds 3 and 4 on April 10-12. A former World War II military base turned race track, Sebring welcomes back the Ferrari single-make series for the first time since 2020.

Ferrari Challenge then meets in the middle at Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas, from May 15–17. Rounds 5 and 6 coincide with the annual Ferrari Racing Days celebration, which also ran last season at another Formula 1 circuit, Miami International Autodrome.

Drawing Prancing Horse fanatics from around the world, Ferrari Racing Days features the F1 Clienti program with historic Formula One single-seater rides; the Sport Prototipi Clienti program with racetrack views of the 499P Modificata; and the most exclusive and special Ferraris lapping the track as part of the XX Program.

The following two events feature a back-to-back swing in California, with Rounds 7 and 8 taking place at Laguna Seca and Rounds 9 and 10 just up the road at Sonoma Raceway.

The two racetracks – separated by less than three hours between the Central Coast and Northern California – are the only circuits carried over from 2025.

This season marks the third consecutive year that Ferrari Challenge has run at Laguna Seca and the sixth consecutive at Sonoma.

The Laguna Seca trip is scheduled for June 19-21 before the series heads to Sonoma on July 24-26.

Finally, Road America concludes the Ferrari Challenge schedule in North America on Sept. 11-13. Known as America’s National Park of Speed and a longtime fan-favorite destination, Road America has made intermittent appearances on the Ferrari Challenge calendar.

After its inaugural trip in 2014, the series returned in 2017, 2021 and 2023 prior to its upcoming fifth visit this year.

While some of the destinations have changed, the calendar structure remains the same as in years’ past – six events featuring doubleheader races for both the Trofeo Pirelli and Coppa Shell classes.

After 12 rounds for both, champions from Ferrari Challenge series worldwide will be crowned at Finali Mondiali, held this year at Spain’s Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya from Nov. 17–23.

How to Watch

Ferrari Challenge North America races will stream live on Ferrari’s YouTube channel. The series also welcomes Speed Sport as a domestic live streaming partner, and Ferrari Challenge race replays will be scheduled on CBSSN and RACER Network after each event.
