Florida, United States

The 2026 Ferrari Challenge North America season heads to the legendary Sebring International Raceway for the second stop of the championship. The primary challenge of the 3.74-mile circuit is its infamously bumpy surface, particularly at the concrete segments of Sunset Bend and the Hairpin, which test the dampers and composure of the Ferrari 296 Challenge cars. The objective for the Trofeo Pirelli field is to find a clean gap in traffic on the high-speed airport-track layout to maximize aerodynamic efficiency during the 15-minute qualifying sprint. Strategically, managing tire pressure is the ultimate goal in the Florida heat. The goal for championship leader Johnny Kaminskey is to maintain his momentum from the opening round at Thermal and secure a front-row start to avoid the mid-pack congestion typical of the standing starts. The tactical focus for the Scuderia Corsa and AF Corse teams is to time their runs late in the session as the track rubber builds up, looking to exploit the increased grip in the final minutes. With the Trofeo Pirelli and Trofeo Pirelli Am classes sharing the session, the ultimate goal is to conquer the bumps of Sebring and secure the pole position for Saturday’s opening race.
