Calendar announced for 2026 Ferrari Challenge Australasia

Following its successful debut this year, the Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli Australasia has been confirmed for a return in 2026. Ferrari has released the calendar for the second edition of the championship, which will expand to five rounds. Queensland Raceway is the new addition to the 2026 calendar that includes rounds at Mount Panorama, Phillip Island, Sydney Motorsport Park and The Bend.

The youngest member of the global Ferrari Challenge family, the Australasian series runs to the same formula as long-standing championships in Europe, the UK, USA and Japan that are open to gentleman drivers, enthusiasts and young talent.

This year’s inaugural Ferrari Challenge Australasia saw Antoine Gittany win the Trofeo Pirelli class, with Enzo Cheng victorious in Coppa Shell. Both drivers represented Ferrari Sydney, with Cheng dominating his category, while Gittany had a season long battle with team mate, Jim Pollicina, only securing his title at the final round.

As with this year’s other regional Challenge championships, the 2026 Ferrari Challenge Australasia introduced the all-new Ferrari 296 Challenge, but the 296’s predecessor was also welcomed. A separate class for entrants in the Ferrari 488 Challenge Evo – Trofeo Pirelli 488 - was won by Misho Stephen representing Ferrari North Shore.

For its 2026 edition, the Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli Australasia will get underway at Mount Panorama on 13-14 February, with the opening round to be held in conjunction with the 2026 Bathurst 12 Hour. The championship then travels to Phillip Island, one of Australia’s fastest and most spectacular circuits, on 27-28 March, followed by The Bend on 8-10 May.

The new addition to the calendar for 2026, Queensland Raceway, will be held on 20-21 June, with the season to conclude under lights at Sydney Motorsport Park on 18-20 September, ensuring a spectacular finale to another year of Ferrari Challenge competition.

Along with exhilarating track action, the Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli Australasia offers unmistakable lifestyle and hospitality experiences that define Ferrari’s world.
