Ferrari Challenge Europe. The European series has reformulated its calendar to maintain the same number of races as originally planned.

The season will open in Imola, where the brand new 488 Challenge Evos will take to the track at the Enzo and Dino Ferrari circuit over the weekend of 4-5 July. The Ferrari Challenge will then move to Barcelona in Spain, where rounds 3 and 4 will be held two weeks later.

Portimao in Portugal will host Round 3 on 1 and 2 August, ahead of the Ferrari Racing Days at Mugello from the 28th to the 30th. After that it’s the turn of the Ferrari Racing Days at Spa-Francorchamps, from 11 to 13 September.

The return to Italy, at the Misano Adriatico circuit on 26 and 27 September, will be the last outing before the Finali Mondiali in Abu Dhabi from 4 to 7 November.

A special protocol will be used to ensure the safety of everyone involved. All events will take place behind closed doors, including for the press. The organisers are continuing to work closely with the local authorities and are prepared to adapt the safety measures to changing circumstances.

Imola, 4-5 July
Barcelona, 18-19 July
Portimao, 1-2 August
Mugello, 28-30 August
Spa-Francorchamps, 11-13 September

Indianapolis, July 22-27
