Game summary

Among car companies, Ferrari stands alone as a symbol of luxury, power, and grace under pressure. Few auto fans would give up the chance for a virtual test-drive of these wonderful machines, and this is exactly the appeal of "Ferrari Virtual Race" to newer and older gamers alike. If you've ever wanted to experience the feel of taking out a Ferrari on a track, this game might be for you. If you or someone you love is a car fanatic, few games offer quite the punch of the game, which allows players to get behind the wheel of several classic Ferrari sports cars and have fun on a compelling track and landscape. The key-word here is fun: For many, this game will be a sort of dream come true. Featuring the chance to "test drive" the 430 Scuderia, 599 Fiorano and 612 Scaglietti models of Ferrari, the game is a great introduction to what makes the company such a powerhouse in the auto and racing industries.

Play Ferrari Virtual Race on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Ferrari Virtual Race on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

Ferrari Virtual Race installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Ferrari Virtual Race like you would on any PC.
