The Florida Winter Series was a non-championship, single-seater racing series organised by the Ferrari Driver Academy that was created to give young drivers experience away from main-season competition.[1][2] The series was launched on October 18, 2013 and held its inaugural and only season in 2014.[3]
The Car
[edit]The series used the Tatuus FA010B chassis, which was built to Formula 3 safety regulations and used in Formula Abarth, as well as other regional championships. The car is powered by a 1400cc Fiat-FPT engine producing 190hp.[4]
Cancellation
[edit]After reducing the cost of entry and shortening the number of rounds held,[5] Ferrari announced on November 6, 2014 that they had cancelled the 2015 season. Though there were intentions to hold another season in 2016, it never came to fruition.[2]
