LA STAGIONE/THE SEASON Le gare sono disputate sempre su piste di grande fascino, nell’ambito di eventi organizzati dalla stessa Ferrari, come i Ferrari Racing Days, occasioni uniche per vedere riunite in pista le principali attività gestite dal dipartimento Corse Clienti. Con il definitivo passaggio del testimone dalla F430 Challenge alla 458 Challenge nel 2012 le classifiche rimangono distinte nelle due categorie Trofeo Pirelli e Coppa Shell ma a cambiare è la durata delle gare, di trenta minuti l’una, mentre viene mantenuta la formula che prevede due turni di qualifica da 30 minuti (oltre ad una sessione di 60 minuti di Prove Libere) in cui il primo turno di qualifica determina la griglia di Gara 1 ed il secondo la griglia di Gara 2. Insieme ai piloti iscritti singolarmente sono sempre ammessi gli equipaggi composti da due conduttori: in caso di equipaggio doppio ogni pilota disputerà una sessione di qualifica ed una gara, mentre ai fini della classifica vale la somma dei punti conquistati da entrambi i piloti. Per ogni gara, verrà attribuito al Conduttore (o ad entrambi i conduttori di un equipaggio doppio) un punto per la pole position ed uno per il giro veloce. Dal 2010 l’introduzione della partenza lanciata secondo la normativa FIA, la Coppa Team ed i premi speciali per i vincitori di Trofeo Pirelli e Coppa Shell. Sempre un occhio di riguardo è destinato ai giovani iscritti - cui spettava l’abbassamento della tassa d’iscrizione prevista per gli under 25 - per i quali quest’anno viene introdotta una Coppa Giovani, riservata ai soli piloti del Trofeo Pirelli, che si affianca ad una Coppa Gentleman per i piloti over 55. Rimane confermato un Contributo Ferrari Genuine per i primi cinque classificati di ogni categoria insieme ad una serie di iniziative mirate alla riduzione generale del costo di gestione della stagione sportiva. Per tutti comunque un impegno sportivo di livello molto elevato, con gare combattute dall’inizio alla fine. Nel Trofeo Pirelli spiccano da sempre nomi di piloti conosciuti, che affrontano il Challenge per aumentare il proprio prestigio personale e quello della Concessionaria per la quale corrono, ma anche nomi di giovanissimi con qualche esperienza alle spalle, che nel Challenge e nella fama della Ferrari sperano di trovare un trampolino di lancio per il futuro. Come effettivamente si è verificato. Particolarmente combattute anche le gare della Coppa Shell che vedono al via gentleman driver dall’età variabilissima e dai più disparati livelli di esperienza. 12 13
LA STAGIONE/THE SEASON Going over the story of the Ferrari Challenge involves looking back on twenty years of the Maranello firm’s history and a side of it that shares its DNA with its ever present involvement in Formula 1. Over time, the one-make series developed into the benchmark championship for this type of racing. There are many reasons for its success and longevity with the spectacle it provides at the top of the list, courtesy of a field made up from absolute beginners and drivers with a degree of racing experience. The former have their own classification which crowns its own champion, which is the Coppa Shell, while the latter race for their own trophy, the Trofeo Pirelli. Starting this year, to avoid any inequality in the races, the “professional” and the gentleman drivers” will compete in separate races. 2011 saw significant changes to the championship, which was also a key year for the Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli as it marked the debut of the 458 Challenge car, which saw the standard of racing in the series go up a notch. Last year also witnessed a new series established for the Asia-Pacific region, bringing excitement to an area which to date had not had a very strong motor sport tradition, to run alongside the existing ones in Italy, Europe and North America. In 2012, the 430 Challenge will no longer be eligible, leaving the field clear for the 458 Challenge to carry on the great tradition, while the championships are being streamlined with the merger of the Italian one into a single European series to continue alongside North America and Asia-Pacific. The hospitality area for the events has had a makeover, boasting the highest level of comfort, so that drivers and teams can meet guests and sponsors in an environment that meets all their demands. The Challenge sponsors themselves not only benefit from the prestigious fall-out of being associated with Ferrari, but are also assured plenty of media coverage on TV. In the Challenge, the aim is to ensure everything goes smoothly for the Concessionaires and approved preparation specialists, who are the only ones allowed by the regulations to enter the championships. That rule has been in existence since the birth of the Championship, allowing for a degree of transparency that would not be possible if external teams were granted admission. 14 15
