Ferrari Festival Roars Into Brisbane This June Weekend
mg15649
Ferrari Festival lands at Queensland Raceway for one weekend only on 20-21 June, which means noise, colour, and a lot of very expensive metal being used exactly as intended. If you like racing that smells faintly of burning capitalism, this is your scene.
Wheel To Wheel Action
The centrepiece is Round 4 of the Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli Australasia, the marque’s one-make championship. Expect qualifying and race sessions across both days as drivers in Ferrari 296 Challenge and 488 Challenge EVO machines go at each other hard. In short, it will be loud, close, and stupidly fast.
More Than Just One Race
Between the headline races there will be dynamic track sessions featuring Ferraris from across the brand’s history. Modern racers will sit beside machines from other eras, so you can gawp at the tech and then ogle the nostalgia.
Paddock And Play
Off track is where the festival flips from hardcore motorsport to family day out. The paddock will host multiple vehicle displays, open pit lane sessions, simulators for anyone who fancies pretending to be Alonso, and face-painting for the small people. It is curated, polished, and just the right side of indulgent.
Charity, Hot Laps And Drivers
The event supports Save the Children with a charity hot lap prize for donors, which is a neat way to combine adrenaline with doing something useful. Expect also to see driver close ups, team prep, and all the frenetic behind-the-scenes action that makes a race day feel alive.
General admission is free with registration and the whole thing is pitched as family friendly. If you own a Ferrari and want to join in on track, there are owner packages sold through the official dealer network that include track time in your own car, premium food and drink, elevated viewing and dedicated parking.
Tickets are limited and the festival runs for two days only. Register in advance to secure a single day or a whole weekend pass and bring ear protection if you value your hearing.
