The Ferrari F430 Challenge runners will be in action this weekend at the Bologna Motor Show again this year while Luca Badoer will be back in the arena once more for the pit stop demonstrations, this time at the wheel of an F60.

The 34th edition of the Bologna Motor Show will dedicate the whole programme tomorrow (Saturday, 5 December) in the arena almost entirely to Ferrari, while at the fair’s main entrance the two F430 GT2 racers that were the winning cars in this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Constructors’ and Team Titles in the 2009 season of the FIA GT Championship, as well as the new 599XX, the non-road legal Berlinetta super-sportscar, and the 430 Scuderia, the high-performance two-seater road car, will be exposed during the car show.

It all gets underway when Giancarlo Fisichella, the Scuderia Ferrari’s official test driver, will have the honour to take part in the opening ceremony today (Friday 4 December). Then tomorrow the F430s from the Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli and several FXXs, the extraordinary laboratory cars from the R&D project with the same name, will be in Bologna for a spectacular show.

Directly from the action at the Ferrari Finali Mondiali in Valencia last month, eight participants in the Trofeo Pirelli’s main category and ten gentlemen drivers from the Coppa Shell will race in the Motorsport Arena at the Area 48, while the client-test drivers engaged with the Prancing Horse in the ambitious project of what will be the future Ferraris - will go onto the track for a free practice session.

Ferrari’s indissoluble relationship with the world of motor racing will be represented by the show's traditional F1 pit stop simulation routine, with Luca Badoer behind the wheel of a F60, the Scuderia Ferrari single-seater used during the 2009 season and whose name celebrates the 60 years the team from Maranello has been participating in the F1 Championships, from 1950 until today.
