The 2022 season of the Ferrari Challenge Asia Pacific Trofeo Pirelli round 2 returns to Fuji Speedway this weekend with thirteen 488 Challenge Evos taking part in the Prancing Horse’s one-make series, once again joining the GT World Challenge Asia weekend.

All eyes will be on this battle to see if Uchida will be able to continue his winning streak.
