Ferrari Driving Experience on a Racetrack

Start your driving experience either directly at the racetrack, or with pickup in Bologna (at additional expense).

Your instructor starts with a safety briefing, then provides a technical tutorial on the Ferrari race car that you drive, the F458 Challenge, designed specifically for racetracks although based on the regular F458 Ferrari.

After covering the safety and technical information, don your safety gear and gain confidence on the track by taking your first lap in an everyday car. When ready, switch into the Ferrari and rev up the powerful V-8 engine. Drive past the pit lane and onto the track with your instructor sitting beside you. Your instructor provides handling tips as you zoom around the 1.5-mile (2-km) circuit in the supercar, which can accelerate from 0 to 63 mph (100 kmph) in less than 3 seconds.

Your experience includes five laps around the track, and your driving time is recorded. You have the option to purchase video of your time behind the wheel to take home.

Your tour ends with return transport to Bologna (if option chosen) or at the track.
