“It’s impossible to describe passion; you can only live it,” Enzo Ferrari used to say. This quote fits perfectly to describe the emotions that the Finali Mondiali, taking place this weekend at the Mugello Circuit, bring to Ferrari fans and motorsports enthusiasts.
The “Ferrari Emotions,” as Alberto Borgini, the voice of Ferrari Challenge, puts it, engage Ferrari enthusiasts on all levels, extending beyond racing. The primary event is, of course, the Ferrari Challenge Finals, the one-make series that celebrated its 30th anniversary last year. It’s an event where the best teams and drivers from various geographical regions (Europe, UK, Asia Pacific, and North America) compete to crown the champions of Ferrari’s international series and award the titles in the Pirelli Trophy and the Shell Cup (PRO and Am). With over 100 Ferrari 488 Challenge Evo cars participating, it’s a highly competitive series that consistently delivers excitement and unpredictability.
In addition to the Challenge events, there are other “Ferrari Emotions” among the Tuscan hills, as members of Scuderia Ferrari Clubs and employees will be delighted by the current stable of Ferrari cars displayed in the paddock. These include the SF90-Stradale, the Purosangue, the Roma, the Daytona SP3, and other models, including some one-off creations. Alongside them, there are the ‘XX’ cars, which are not street-legal but serve as technological laboratories. These include the FXX-K (a further development of the LaFerrari), 599XX EVO, and FXX, a descendant of the Enzo. The exhibition also features trophies from the 24 Hours of Le Mans, as well as Formula 1 cars used by Scuderia Ferrari over the decades, starting from the “snowplow” of 1973, the 312-T4 that helped Scheckter win the championship in 1979, and more recent cars like Charles Leclerc’s F1-75 from 2022 and Patrick Tambay’s 126 C2.
However, the real stars of the show are the F1 Clienti cars, which bring back to the track past Formula 1 championship cars, now owned by affluent buyers. These cars, from the moment they roar to life, evoke emotions among fans with their thunderous sound and the memories they bring back. These cars have written their chapters in Scuderia Ferrari’s history. The oldest in the lineup is the F1-2000 (the car from Michael Schumacher’s first championship with Ferrari), and the display continues with cars from the golden era of the 2000s and more recent models, like the F2008 (the most recent championship-winning car), the F60 from 2009, the F10, the F138 from 2013, and the SF70-H and SF71-H, driven by Sebastian Vettel, which provided joy and heartache for Ferrari fans.

The Mugello weekend will continue on Sunday with the traditional Ferrari show. It will not only feature all of the company’s activities but will also celebrate the historic victory of the 499P at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the world’s most famous endurance race. In this race, Ferrari returned to the top class victory after 50 years of absence. The Ferrari show will culminate in an exhibition by the F1 team and all the other cars present, followed by the official photo, possibly with the presence of the company’s top management, marking the conclusion of the event.
