Using the Indy circuit, the drivers had two, 90-minute sessions on the iconic track to familiarise themselves with their cars before they return to Brands Hatch for the opening rounds of the 2019 season on 18 and 19 May.

The new Ferrari Challenge UK Series is the only National Championship operated by Ferrari, and completes the impressive family of Ferrari Challenge Championships, which is made up of the European series, North American series, Asia Pacific series and now the U.K. series.

Francesco Balli, Regional Manager, Ferrari North Europe, said, "We are thrilled that the Prologue event was a success and we are really excited heading into the season. The U.K. is Ferrari's second-largest market, which is why the importance of a U.K. series cannot be understated. The U.K. also has a large amount of Ferrari clients who possess racing licenses, so we are delighted that Ferrari can now offer them such a unique and exciting opportunity."
