The Experience

Maranello is Ferrari's home, and this experience starts there. You'll enter the Ferrari Museum to walk through the cars that shaped automotive history, then meet your instructor for the first leg of the drive: 30 minutes on the road heading toward Modena in a real Ferrari, with the instructor in the passenger seat. The route itself is part of the experience. You're driving the car on actual roads, not just a closed course.

At the Autodromo di Modena circuit, you'll get a welcome coffee and a technical briefing before the track portion begins. The sequence matters: one warm-up lap in a Peugeot lets you learn the circuit's rhythm and lines, then you move into the Ferrari 488 Challenge for three full laps with a co-pilot alongside. The helmet and helmet lining are provided by the circuit. After the track work, you'll drive the Ferrari back to Maranello on the road for another 30 minutes with your instructor.

The whole day runs about three hours from start to finish. You'll choose between two Ferrari models for the road and track portions when you book: the 488 and 488 Challenge pairing, or the Portofino and 488 Challenge. Both options include the same circuit experience and museum entry. A valid driving license is required, and it must have been issued at least a year before your visit. If you're coming from outside the EU, bring an international driving permit.
