Fans attending on March 8 for the Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli race at Sonoma Raceway will be treated to an unforgettable aerial spectacle as the renowned Patriots Jet Team returns to the skies above wine-country's famous racetrack for two awe-inspiring performances.

Known for their high-speed precision and breathtaking aerobatics, the Northern California-based Patriots Jet Team is North America's largest civilian-owned jet aerobatic team. Flying L-39 Albatros jets, the team's signature maneuvers include high-speed passes, breathtaking rolls, and heart-stopping loops – all performed with military-style precision and accompanied by a patriotic soundtrack that will energize fans in attendance.

"The Patriots Jet Team are a fan-favorite at Sonoma Raceway, and we're thrilled to expand their performances to the Ferrari Challenge weekend for the first time," said Brian Flynn, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Sonoma Raceway. "Their precision, power, and incredible stunts add an exciting layer to both of these world-class events."

Ferrari Challenge is the longest running single-make series in North America.  Thousands of drivers have competed in hundreds of races across the series 30+ year history.  The 2025 season will begin at Sonoma Raceway where drivers will use the 296 Challenge race car, the ninth used by the championship and featuring the twin-turbo V6 of the road-going 296 GTB, but producing over 700hp.  Over 50 drivers will take to the track for racing action on Saturday and Sunday along with a wide range of current and past Ferrari models on display throughout the weekend. 

In addition, all proceeds from the event directly benefit local children and families in need through Speedway Children's Charities – Sonoma.
