Ferrari Corso Pilota Driving School

What to Expect From the Corso Pilota Ferrari Driving School

The two-day course includes personal instruction on driving and vehicle control, both in the classroom and on the race track. These classes are divided into Sport, Advanced, Evolution, and Challenge courses. Each course is designed to increasingly push the skill set of the driver to the Challenge level, which is professional racing.

Ferrari Corso Pilota instructors are racing champions from around the world, with experience including wins in Daytona 24 Hours and 24 Hours of Le Mans. Participants will receive personal instruction and guidance from the world-best racing talents. Many people simply enjoy racing and take the Corso Pilota classes multiple times! The fleet of Ferrari vehicles provided for track instruction are as follows:

• 488 GTB
• 488 Pista
• 812 Superfast
• 488 Challenge

Sport Course

Corso Pilota Sport is ideal for someone who wants to drive a Ferrari but needs to hone their skills in a controlled environment. This progressive program is designed to offer a comprehensive understanding of sport driving techniques. Up to 21 participants are divided into three groups and taught the basics, which include:

• Ideal cockpit position
• Positive accelerator and brake control
• Braking and acceleration techniques
• Establishing precise driving lines

Eventually, drivers will participate in more advanced car control exercises.

Advanced Course

Drivers who have a grasp of basic techniques may opt for the advanced course, which allows up to 18 participants divided into three groups. Intense, specialized Ferrari driving classes are the focus, particularly at high speeds — with a continued emphasis on safety. The classroom driving theory sessions are tailored to the driving styles and technical aptitude of the participants, which in turn allows students to analyze their own performance.

Evolution Course

Available to 15 participants divided into three groups, the Evolution course is built around developing on-road skills in a Ferrari 488 Challenge race car. An in-depth analysis of telemetry data is used to help drivers improve their technique and performance, and dynamic skill trials help participants apply sport driving techniques to everyday situations. It’s as much about acquainting drivers with the incredible ceiling of a Ferrari’s performance as it is about helping them understand their own limits.

Challenge Course

The Challenge Course demands that participants take the concepts they learns in the previous to their logical conclusion: the racetrack. The Challenge Course consists of in-depth, technically advanced instruction designed to perfect driving techniques and maintain top-tier performance during timed sessions on the track. The emphasis is on developing familiarity with racing techniques such as starting, overtaking, car setup, and race rules and regulations.

The goal is to teach drivers how they can compete in the Ferrari Challenge in a safe and professional manner.
