Ferrari Racing Days Hungaroring 2026: Official Program Guide & Budapest Transfers
Ferrari’s official calendars confirm a concentrated Corse Clienti program at the Hungaroring—combining Ferrari Challenge racing with F1 Clienti, the XX Programme, Sport Prototipi Clienti and Club Competizioni GT.
What exactly is Ferrari Racing Days at the Hungaroring?
The official Ferrari Corse Clienti calendar shows a major Budapest/Hungaroring block from September 10–14, 2026. It combines a competitive Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli Europe round with several of Ferrari’s most exclusive non-competitive client programs.
Ferrari has used the name Ferrari Racing Days for this type of combined weekend: Ferrari Challenge supplies wheel-to-wheel racing, while special Corse Clienti programs place former Formula 1 cars, extreme XX models, prototypes and GT racing cars on the same circuit in dedicated sessions. Ferrari’s official 2025 Spa preview describes precisely that structure.
This is why the September event is more substantial than a Ferrari owners’ gathering or a conventional track day. It is a meeting point for drivers, teams, dealers, owners, technical personnel, agencies, sponsors and invited guests from several layers of the Ferrari racing ecosystem.
| Official program | Budapest dates | Format |
|---|---|---|
| Ferrari Challenge Europe | Sep 10–13 | Competitive one-make championship |
| F1 Clienti | Sep 11–13 | Non-competitive Formula 1 owner sessions |
| XX Programme | Sep 11–13 | Non-competitive track-only client program |
| Sport Prototipi Clienti | Sep 11–13 | Non-competitive prototype program |
| Club Competizioni GT | Sep 13–14 | Non-competitive GT racing-car program |
Dates follow Ferrari’s official program calendars. A Budapest-specific daily timetable has not yet been published.
Racing for points—and extraordinary cars driven without a race result.
Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli Europe
Ferrari’s one-make client championship is the competitive core. The 2026 calendar names Budapest as Round 6, from September 10–13. The current Ferrari 296 Challenge contests the traditional Trofeo Pirelli, Trofeo Pirelli Am, Coppa Shell and Coppa Shell Am categories.
A typical Challenge round uses early-week testing and practice before weekend qualifying and races. That is context—not the Budapest timetable. Exact Hungaroring session times must wait for Ferrari’s event-specific release.
F1 Clienti
Since 2003, F1 Clienti has given a select group of owners the opportunity to acquire and drive former Scuderia Ferrari Formula 1 single-seaters. Ferrari supports the cars with its own technical structure and professional-driver mentors.
The program spans machines from several eras, including cars that competed decades ago and more recent single-seaters. It is not a race series: the significance lies in seeing Ferrari Formula 1 history functioning on a live circuit.
XX Programme
Created in 2005, the XX Programme brings extreme Ferrari track cars to private circuit events. The family includes the FXX, 599XX and FXX-K generations and their evolutions.
These are not ordinary road cars or a conventional championship grid. Ferrari engineers manage the vehicles and use continuous data collection, placing owners inside a highly controlled technical program.
Sport Prototipi Clienti
This program centers on the Ferrari 499P Modificata, a strictly limited track car derived from the 499P that won the centenary 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Ferrari lists a combined maximum output of 640 kW—870 hp—and emphasizes that the Modificata is free from the competition Hypercar’s technical restrictions. The sessions are non-competitive and supported by Ferrari’s specialist operation.
Club Competizioni GT
Club Competizioni GT brings Ferrari GT racing cars from different generations back to the circuit in an exclusive non-competitive format. Ferrari describes a range stretching from the F40 Competizione to the latest 296 GT3.
Owners drive with official Competizioni GT driver support and dedicated technical assistance. The official 2026 calendar places the Budapest conclusion on September 13–14.

Important: the Hungaroring’s current public race calendar does not yet show a dedicated Ferrari Racing Days page. Do not buy unofficial access or make a non-refundable visitor plan based only on a social post or reseller listing.
The event begins before the first public-facing session.
A September Corse Clienti program creates movement across several days: international arrivals, team and owner luggage, technical staff, dealer groups, hospitality guests, early circuit reporting times and returns that may shift with the operating schedule.
The Hungaroring is in Mogyoród, outside central Budapest. Road time changes with the hotel, traffic, accreditation route, gate instructions and the event’s live traffic plan. A fixed “city-center travel time” should therefore not be treated as a guarantee.
The right approach is a multi-day movement plan: one confirmed Budapest hotel or airport pickup, an appropriate reporting buffer, the best authorized circuit approach available to the passenger, and a return plan that can absorb legitimate schedule changes.
One transport plan from Budapest Airport to the final circuit return.
Send these details before capacity tightens.
A useful first request does not need the final Ferrari timetable. It does need enough structure to protect availability and choose the correct vehicle.
A request is not a confirmed reservation. Vehicle availability, route, circuit access and waiting terms become final only in the written VanBudapest.com confirmation.
