We're sorry, but we don't have any reviews on this game yet.

Ferrari Challenge: Trofeo Pirelli for Nintendo Wii is a groundbreaking racing game pushing driving simulations into the next generation, based on the legendary Italian marques' official racing series. Veteran UK games publisher System 3, holder of the exclusive Ferrari Challenge license, brings all the authentic cars and tracks to home consoles for the very first time, with unprecedented levels of realism and true Ferrari racing dynamics.

Ferrari Challenge sets the standard for driving games on Wii, driven by the single-minded vision of veteran UK games publisher (and passionate Ferrari 'Tifoso') Mark Cale, overseeing the award-winning racing game specialists at Eutechnyx. The game has been honed to perfection under the watchful eyes of Ferrari, with expert handling consultation from Bruno Senna, adding a unique magic touch.
