Following the Canadian Grand Prix in June, Ferrari Challenge North America shifts gears for a weekend in upstate New York. Competitors, including the 488 Challenge Evo class after a one-race break, kick off the second half of the season at Watkins Glen International, the sole East Coast racetrack in the U.S. for 2024. The history at Watkins Glen has been sporadic for Ferrari Challenge, with the series last racing there in 2022 and only making visits in 2021, 2018, and 2014. The Trofeo Pirelli class remains highly competitive, with four drivers separated by a mere 12 points, including Dylan Medler, Matias Perez Companc, Dave Musial Jr., and Roberto Perrina. In the Trofeo Pirelli Am class, the battle is between Brian Cook and Tony Davis, while Eric Marston leads the Coppa Shell class in the championship with three wins in the last four races. Roger Monteforte strengthens his position in Coppa Shell Am, with Bryan Waltersdorf and Steve Check tied for second, and Darren Bernstein showing momentum after a winning performance. The 488 Challenge Evo grid makes its return at Watkins Glen, with Massimo Perrina leading the Trofeo Pirelli class among 25 cars entered for the weekend. Lastly, in Coppa Shell, Gerdas Venslovas holds the lead with Matthew Dalton and Richard Pineda close behind in the standings.
