Ferrari Challenge at Sonoma Raceway is Christmas in July

Most would say Christmas occurs in December. Those people have never been to Ferrari Challenge in July. A sea of smiles in awe of the parade of red that inspires every child as their someday car as much as it does for every adult thinking, ‘what if…’ Ferrari Challenge in Sonoma happens once per year with enthusiasts remembering the red Ferrari poster on the wall as a kid and those lucky enough to indulge, bringing them together for a day of excitement reminiscent of Enzo’s dream.



When Enzo Ferrari created his first ‘Ferrari’ in 1947, his motto wasn’t to build a car to get from point A to point B. He wanted a car to get from point A to point B as fast as humanly possible. And that is what Ferrari stands behind. They want exciting cars that are beautiful and innovative and blazingly fast.

Ferrari Challenge is a way for Ferrari owners and enthusiasts alike to experience what has made Ferrari, Ferrari. What is special about Sonoma Raceway, is the intimacy you have with the cars and race teams. With open pits and garages, spectators have the opportunity to get up close and personal with each car and driver. Between laps, the drivers can take a moment, talking with fans and enthusiasts. Ferrari North America brings out their latest offerings such as their new SUV, the Ferrari Purosangue.

Owners are encouraged to drive their F-car to the event as entrance is free if you’re in a Ferrari at the gate. The parade of Ferraris arriving date from the latest and greatest such as the Ferrari F12 to classics like the Testarossa and even vintage cars like the 365 GTC. Like Christmas, it only comes once per year and also like Christmas, wear your Sunday best. Just make sure it’s red. And bring a hat. It’s hot in July.
