/// CORSO PILOTA SPORT
FIRST EMOTIONS ON THE TRACK
The programme’s introductory course takes place at a typical Ferrari venue, the Fiorano (Modena) circuit. Participants first receive an introduction to the techniques of sports driving and then try their hand at driving a Ferrari 296GTB, with the opportunity to drive the impressive SF90 Stradale. An instructor sits in the car with participants and gives useful advice to improve performance lap after lap. The dynamic part of the course includes driving exercises on the track and car control exercises on grippy surfaces.
/// CORSO PILOTA EVOLUZIONE
THE CHALLENGE GETS TOUGHER
The Corso Pilota Evoluzione takes place once a year at the Misano World Circuit (Rimini). The number of participants is limited to a maximum of twenty people, who are divided into five groups of four to enable closer cooperation with the instructors. Participants in the Corso Pilota Evoluzione will receive racing equipment, which includes a suit, gloves and fireproof shoes. This course has a higher level and offers more time on track with the 488 Challenge Evo used in most activities. The course also allows night driving: for the first time, participants will race under floodlights.
/// CORSO PILOTA PERSONAL COACHING
ONE-TO-ONE INSTRUCTION
The Corso Pilota Personal Coaching takes place at the Fiorano (Modena) circuit. It offers eight participants the opportunity to have their own personal instructor as well as drive a 296 GTB and a 488 Challenge EVO on the track. The programme and track sessions are adapted according to the clients’ requirements, driving skills and previous experience.
/// CORSO PILOTA AVANZATO
FOLLOW YOUR PASSION
The second stage of the Corso Pilota Ferrari takes place in Parma, at the Varano de’ Melegari circuit. The groups of participants are smaller than for the Corso Pilota Sport to ensure longer sessions on the track and greater engagement with the instructors. Some of the sessions include lead and follow exercises, where the instructors get in the car to show the participants following them how best to choose the correct driving lines on the track. This is the opportunity for Corso Pilota participants to drive on their own for the first time. The course culminates in a double session on the track with the 488 Challenge Evo, the closed race car used in the Ferrari brand series.
/// CORSO PILOTA CHALLENGE
INSIDE THE LEGEND
Surrounded by the fantastic backdrop of the Vallelunga racetrack near Rome, a maximum of twelve participants, divided into pairs, can immerse themselves in Ferrari’s racing heritage. An instructor is available to each pair. To understand the set-up and electronic controls of the 488 Challenge Evo used on this course, a technical briefing follows the theoretical lectures. On-track activities include rolling-start simulations. Participants will also take part in a competition behind the wheel of a 296 GTB to be the fastest and most skilled at avoiding traffic cones in the paddock. Participants will also receive a free helmet.
/// CORSO PILOTA LIMITED EDITION
WHEN ADRENALINE MEETS EXCLUSIVENESS
The venue and the programme of the Corso Pilota Limited Edition change every year, always maintaining the exclusive character of the course. The number of participants is limited to a maximum of twenty-five. They will have the opportunity to take part in cultural and glamorous activities organised especially for them in the most beautiful places in Italy. In 2022, the Corso Pilota Limited Edition will take place at the Mugello circuit, one of the most attractive, challenging and safe circuits in the world, and in nearby Florence. Unlike the other Ferrari driving courses, the Corso Pilota Limited Edition integrates either the Sport and Avanzato or Avanzato and Evoluzione levels, but is not a substitute for the Corso Pilota Challenge.
