More moments from Sonoma Raceway.

The next round of the Ferrari Challenge championship is only a couple of short weeks away, and we can't wait to carry this strong momentum into the final races on North American soil.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway is our next destination 🧱 Ready to battle it out at our home track.

P6 at the finish line after an extremely hard fought battle all the way to the end. Our team overcame a lot throughout the race and we continued to show our ability to adapt, with Manny and Albert putting in maximum effort lap after lap.

Only two rounds remain, and our home race is next!

We had a very successful Saturday at Sonoma Raceway, with 5 podium finishes across all three Ferrari Challenge North America series championships.

Proud of all our drivers for their great performances. We're ready to do it all over again today.

The event will be live on Peacock, USA Network, as well as the official IMSA YouTube channel.

We've had some challenges to overcome so far this weekend at VIR, but we're pushing onwards and we're determined as always to go on the attack as soon as the green flag waves tomorrow. We'll be starting from P12 on the grid, but we won't remain there for long.

Ciao Luca ❤️

A touching tribute to a friend who was dearly loved and will be greatly missed.

Reflecting back on a successful Ferrari Challenge weekend at Watkins Glen. Our drivers earned a total of five podium finishes across the Trofeo Pirelli and Coppa Shell championships, in addition to numerous strong Top 5 and Top 10 performances in 488 Challenge.

Proud of all the hard work our team puts in at each and every round, looking forward to being back in action at Sonoma Raceway next month.

It was tough weekend for our team during our first time at CTMP. An issue in Qualifying had us starting from the back of the field and we had an uphill battle to contend with.

We'll learn from this experience and come equipped to fight back in the next round in a few shorts weeks time.

We have a fight ahead of ourselves today at CTMP, but we're determined to make our way through the field.

The green flag waves at 11:05 AM ET. Tune in on Peacock and USA Network for flag to flag coverage. International audiences can watch along on IMSA.tv and the IMSA Official YouTube channel.

Multiple podium finishes for the team today in Watkins Glen. Great effort by our drivers throughout all classes, they put in strong performances across the board.

Still another day of racing to come tomorrow, we're ready to rise to the occasion once again.

Qualifying didn’t go according to plan. The car stalled as Manny was coming out of the pit lane. He did everything he could to restart it, without success. Consequently, we will be starting last for tomorrow’s race.

The crew is currently working hard and assessing the possible source of the issue.
