Ferrari Driver Academy Tackles Virtual Race at Monza

March 29 event raised money for World Health Organization relief aid.

On March 29, the Ferrari Driver Academy Hublot Esports Team, GT racing driver Miguel Molina, and seven other Ferrari drivers hit the track for the “SRO Esports Charity Challenge,” a virtual motor race run on the temple of speed that is the Monza circuit.

The event raised money for the Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fund, which is supporting the World Health Organization in its fight against the pandemic, which has touched so many countries, leading to the general cancellation of sports events including motorsport. The reason Monza was chosen as the circuit on the Assetto Corsa game is that the legendary Italian track should have been hosting, as every year, the opening round of the Endurance Cup of the GT World Challenge Europe.

The event matched real drivers against some of the best sim racers in the world, including the three who drive for the FDA Hublot Esports Team: the F1 Esports Series world champion, David Tonizza, the latest signing, Enzo Bonito, and Amos Laurito, who was at the wheel of one of the team’s Ferrari 488 GT3s.
