The first Ferrari Finali Mondiali to be held in the United States gets underway today at Daytona International Speedway. The four-day event – which is taking place in North America for the first time – brings competitors from the European, North American and Asia Pacific series of the Ferrari Challenge together for a battle in their Ferrari 458 Challenge EVOs. The Ferrari Finali Mondiali previously has been held in Abu Dhabi, Spain and Italy.

On Sunday, Scuderia Ferrari F1 teammates Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel will take to the track after the GTs and the F333 SPs – the first public appearance of Formula 1 cars in Daytona International Speedway history. The pair, at the wheel of two F60s, will perform fast laps, simulated pit stops, tire changes and will cross the finish line in tandem to recall the legendary clean sweep in the 24 Hours of 1967.

The event will showcase the cars of the XX Programmes with the FXX, 599XX, 599XX EVO and the FXX K, which packs a punch of over 1000 hp. Customers will receive advice from such drivers as Marc Gené, Giancarlo Fisichella and Andrea Bertolini .

The 458 Challenge EVOs will take part in a series of 45-minute practice sessions to help Wallace and others adapt to the track.

On Sunday, the other cars on display will be joined by the new 488 Challenge, which will be unveiled on Saturday night at a gala dinner. The sports Berlinetta developed for the world's most famous single-make championship will have a turbo engine and next season will race alongside the 458 Challenge EVO.
