He holds a commanding 106-point lead heading to Silverstone this weekend, with the chance to wrap up the coveted title a meeting early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dunne will now spend four days split between Ferrari\u2019s headquarters at Maranello and it\u2019s test track at Fiorano. The programme, designed to test the hopefuls in every major aspect of life as a professional racing driver, including physical and mental strength assessments. Track activity will center around laps in a Formula 4 car, plus a track walk of Fiorano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Should Dunne be deemed as a potential Ferrari star of the future, he will then progress to the Scouting World Finals hosted by the legendary Italian marque at the end of the year. From there, the potential exists for Dunne to be formally inducted into the Ferrari Driver Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s obviously a great honour and a privilege to be selected for one of the Ferrari Driver Academy scouting camps,\u201d says Dunne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a strong season for me on track, leading the British F4 championship and running up at the front in Italy.
