50 free Ferrari trivia questions with answers — sports quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
This Ferrari trivia quiz covers the Italian marque that turned a racing team into the world's strongest brand. The easy questions cover the founder, the town where the cars are built, the logo, the colour and the sport the company has never stopped competing in. From there the quiz moves through the history: Enzo's years driving for Alfa Romeo, the Scuderia of 1929, the wartime name Auto Avio Costruzioni, the 125 S and its V12, the first Le Mans win, the Ford talks that collapsed and the Fiat deal that followed. The hard end covers Francesco Baracca's horse, the yellow of Modena, the 1964 title won in American colours, the Dino and the move to mid engines, the Big Five supercars, the 250 GTO lawsuits, Montezemolo's 23 years, the Schumacher streak, the 1000th Grand Prix, the 499P's Le Mans comeback, the Purosangue SUV, Fiorano, the Driver Academy, cryptocurrency payments and the world's fastest roller coaster. Every answer was checked against encyclopaedia entries on Ferrari, Scuderia Ferrari and Enzo Ferrari before publishing, and the supporting sentence is stored with each question. Our Formula 1, Michael Schumacher and cars quizzes are natural next stops.
