Ferrari Challenge: Trofeo Pirelli is a re-make of F355 Challenge: Passione Rossa and made after Ferrari's actual racing series. Professional and amateur racers take part in a series of races sponsored by Ferrari. There are 16 different International tracks to compete in, ranging from Silverstone in England to Homestead-Miami Speedway in Florida. The game features over 50 different Ferrari models to race in.
The game has various modes to choose from: Challenge , Arcade , Quick Race , Time Trial . It also features the technical expertise of GP2 driver, Bruno Senna, who is the nephew of Formula One legend Ayrton Senna. This gives the cars and game a more realistic feel, including handling and responsive AI similar to their real-life counterparts.
The games are similar but have some differences, such as graphics and control scheme. The PlayStation 2 uses a similar scheme to the PlayStation 3, while the Wii utilizes the Wii-Remote and the Wii Wheel. Additionally, the PS3 has online capabilities where players can compete in online races against each other.
