The purpose of the Ferrari Club of America’s track events is to provide owners of Ferraris a venue where they can have the pleasure of driving their cars safely at speeds for which the cars were designed. Today this can be done only at race tracks where highway speeds are not in effect. The protection of drivers and spectators requires supervision of events by qualified persons who will enforce reasonable regulations.
Passing may take place only in designated areas and then only when the driver to be passed signals the overtaking driver to pass –and points to the side on which to pass. The goal is to make it possible for Ferrari owners to have the pleasure of spirited driving, each within his own limitations, i.e., with both
safety and pleasure.

FCA Track Events are opportunities for driver development – not racing schools. For qualified drivers who own historic Ferrari Challenge cars (348/355/360/430) FCA sanctions Historic Challenge Races in conjunction with some FCA Track Events.
Required for all drivers and passengers – Helmet of recognized high quality. Closed face
helmets are strongly recommended. Helmets must bear the seal of approval of the Snell
Foundation and be no more than one level below the current highest readily available Snell SA
Rating. Presently, the SA2025 will be available sometime in September 2025. Until then, Snell SA2015 or later is the minimum requirement. Once the SA2025 standard is available, SA 2015 is no longer acceptable and the minimum will be SA2020. Some tracks have different requirements. When the FCA’s policy varies from the track’s policy, the more restrictive policy is to be applied. Check with your event organizer to ensure you have all minimum required equipment.
Required for street cars in all run groups – driver and any passengers must wear:
Approved Snell-rated SA helmets (see above)
Closed shoes (preferably leather)
Sleeved shirts (no tank- or bikini-tops), long pants and socks (all preferably cotton).
