EMS Race Team Travels to Spain for the Barcelona Ferrari Challenge
James Weiland and the EMS Race Team will be in Spain this week for the Barcelona Ferrari Challenge. From July 17-20, the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya will play host to the racing action. Located just outside the city of Barcelona, the track provides a thrilling experience for drivers and racing fans.
Since it opened in 1991, this world-renowned venue has become synonymous with speed, precision, and excitement. The site is home to the Spanish F1 Grand Prix and the Catalan MotoGP Grand Prix. The course, featuring a mix of long fast straights and tricky corners, will present a challenge throughout the weekend.
The drivers will be racing the Ferrari 296 Challenge. It’s the ninth model in series history, powered by a 700-horsepower turbocharged V6. The engine is based on the Ferrari 296 GTB road car.
“We’re excited to be racing in Spain,” Weiland said. “This is a challenging track, and we’ll be competing against a field of talented drivers. But we plan to give our best effort as a team throughout the weekend.”
Racing to Raise Awareness
Weiland is a former Ferrari Challenge North American champion who races to raise awareness for three special causes. ERIN the Electronic Merchant Systems Ferrari 296 Challenge will be competing to support Coach Sam’s Scholars, PETA Cruelty-Free, and Cornerstone of Hope.

PETA Cruelty-Free advocates for the ethical treatment of animals and promotes cruelty-free products, proudly recognized by the bunny logo. Cornerstone of Hope is committed to providing support, education, and hope for those experiencing grief.
