Ferrari Challenge Europe continues its 2025 season at Hockenheim in Germany on May 24-25. ERIN the Electronic Merchant Systems Ferrari 296 Challenge will be making the trip and competing for the win.
The legendary German circuit will host EMS Race Team for Round 3 after stops at Monza and Misano. Driver James Weiland will again 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.
Hockenheim is one of Europe’s most iconic circuits. First opened in 1932, it was last redesigned in 2002. The 17-turn layout features high-speed corners and technical sections. It challenges every part of a driver’s still and focus.
“We’re excited to be back in Germany this weekend,” Weiland said. “This track has a great mix of speed and challenges, so we’re looking forward to the opportunity to race against a great field.”
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.
Coach Sam’s Scholars works to improve literacy, personal development, and health for at-risk children through innovative educational programs. 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.
“We’re proud to represent Coach Sam’s Scholars, PETA, and Cornerstone,” Weiland said. “Each of these organizations makes a tremendous impact, and we’ll do our best to raise awareness for their work while competing in Germany this weekend.”
