Participants in all of Ferrari’s customer-centric race programs gather under one roof for an evening of camaraderie.

A 499 Modificata, based on Ferrari’s Le Mans–winning 499P hypercar, displays its track prowess.

A racer in the F1 Clienti series navigates Laguna Seca behind the Wheel of a Ferrari Formula 1 car from seasons past.

Currently, there are about 80 Challenge cars running in North America, nearly the same in continental Europe with 78 cars, 32 in Japan, and about 20 in the UK.

Not including the cost of the car, participating in a Ferrari Challenge season can pierce seven figures.

There’s no minimum skill requirement, but those without prior race experience can get up to speed in Ferrari’s Corso Pilota training program.

To date, six of the 499 Modificata cars have been delivered, a few of which were running at Laguna Seca.

Before you can enter Ferrari’s F1 Clienti program, a visit to Fiorano is arranged to make sure that you can handle the intricacies of a Formula 1 machine.
