The programme for this regular appearance to showcase racing activity has its highlight on track on 3rd December. There will be three events linked to the Ferrari brand, two of which involve no less than sixteen cars from the Italian and European series of the Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli, which has seen action this season on some of the most famous race circuits in the world, as they tackle two races with the 458 and F430.

The two races will feature some of the stars of the 2011 season, the year in which the 458 Challenge made its debut and which, from next year, will be the only car used for this fascinating series aimed at the marque’s owners. So while the 458 Challenge makes its debut at the Motor Show, it will be a finale for the F430, a perfect way to end a career dating back to 2006.

The busy arena programme will also see Scuderia Ferrari put on a display with the F10, the car it used in last year’s Formula 1 World Championship, on this occasion in the hands of Giancarlo Fisichella.

On display in Bologna will be some of the cars that brought Ferrari great success in the most important GT championships: among the beautiful cars on show will be the AF Corse 458 Italia GT2, which took the drivers and team titles in the Le Mans Series and the team prize in the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup, which gave Ferrari the constructors’ titles in those series. Also on show will be a 458 Italia GT3 which made its debut this season in the FIA GT3 championship winning the drivers title. In addition visitors will be able to see the FXX, a laboratory car that represents one of the highest levels of car technology outside of racing.
