    ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., July 23 /CNW/ -- The North American Ferrari
Challenge Series 2009 continues with its fifth race of the season July 24-26
at the Circuit Mont Tremblant in Canada.

    Going into Mont Tremblant, Mark McKenzie (Ferrari of Houston) holds onto
first place, with 1320 points after Round 4 at Road America. Scott Tucker
(Boardwalk Ferrari - Dallas, TX) and Zak Brown (Ferrari of Silicon Valley)
have swapped places; Tucker now in second, 145 markers behind McKenzie, with
Brown a further 40 points behind in third.

    Now in its 17th racing season in the U.S., the Ferrari Challenge Series
-- utilizing race-prepared F430 Challenge vehicles -- offers Ferrari owners
the opportunity to compete against other Ferrari owners in a highly
competitive racing series at world-class venues throughout the U.S. and
Canada, and is regarded as the longest-running series of its type in North
America.

    The Ferrari Challenge is one of the numerous experiences that Ferrari
offers its customers. Whether owners are racing in the series, dining in the
hospitality tents, participating in weekend driving clinics or socializing
with those that share their enthusiasm for Ferrari, participants are sure to
enjoy the unique atmosphere, all which is amplified by vistas of Canada's
breathtaking Laurentian Mountains.

    Also returning to Tremblant is the Ferrari Historic Challenge. The action
is always hot when these front and rear-engined thoroughbreds from the past
take to the twists and turns of the challenging Le Circuit Mont Tremblant.

than 72,000 middle school youth throughout the country, Ferrari North America
will offer Hot Laps, for a minimum charitable contribution of $100, to guests
attending the Mont Tremblant event. Driving the vehicle will be none other
