The 6th Scottsdale Ferrari Apex Challenge season kicked off on Oct. 26 at Apex Motor Club, unveiling a new circuit and clubhouse under construction. Arizona’s premier motorsports club is adding a new, expanded multi-configuration circuit from 2.27 to 4.76 miles. The competition in the 36 entries across 4 races was the tightest since the series began in 2019. Evan Wolf scored his first career pole position in the Radical silver class, but mechanical issues forced him out of the race, leading to a podium sweep by three first-time Radical racers.
In the Radical gold class, 4-time champion Chris McMurry narrowly beat Seth Bacon in qualifying, with Jace Bacon close behind. McMurry ultimately secured the win with Jace finishing second and Ralph Gilles in third. The GT race saw newcomer Brannan Hankins take the spotlight, outpacing his competitors and claiming victory. The GT4 race featured a one-two finish for Audi R8 drivers Joey and Joe Rainey, with Matt Williams and Scott Dehlendorf rounding out the top positions.
The Mazda MX-5 Cup made its debut at the event, with Jessica Rainey dominating the race from pole to finish, securing her third victory at Apex. Race day also marked the return of Time Attack competitions, wrapping up a thrilling and competitive event at Apex Motor Club.
