For the first time, the series will travel to Brazil, one of the most dynamic and growing business markets for Ferrari.  "Much like the unique history of Interlagos to both Scuderia Ferrari and motorsports overall, Brazil is a vibrant epicenter where demand for Ferrari is strong, and the opportunities for growth even stronger," says Marco Mattiacci, President and CEO, of the Americas. "We look forward to joining our clients and welcoming the fans of Ferrari at the circuit in Interlagos," Mattiacci concludes.
