2022 Corso Pilota Course | Discover Your Driving Potential!

SPORT COURSE

In the driver’s seat: the first step toward competitive driving

The Corso Pilota Sport Course is an empowering, progressive program designed to give participants a comprehensive understanding of sport driving techniques. This two-day program employs an exclusive, personalized teaching method, using Ferrari cars on the track and in specific vehicle control exercises. Up to 28 participants are divided into four groups of seven, with each participant receiving practical, engaging instruction in a variety of driving fundamentals, including the most efficient driving position in the cockpit, progressive management of the car’s controls, selecting precise driving lines on curves, and techniques for acceleration and braking. Additional coursework includes vehicle control exercises that allow behind the-wheel experience with power oversteer conditions. The course also provides an excellent opportunity to explore the performance of various Ferrari models and experience the different Manettino positions of each. Classroom sessions dedicated to theory support the practical on-track training, providing an in-depth understanding of driving techniques and the analysis of vehicle behavior.

ADVANCED COURSE

Moving up: high-speed driving and vehicle control

For customers who have already completed the Sport Course and acquired the basic driving techniques, Corso Pilota offers this second, more advanced program. The Advanced Course admits up to 24 participants, divided into four groups of six. Students gain deeper experience with intensive, track-focused Ferrari driving at high speed as they learn about advanced vehicle control. As always, there is an emphasis on continued practice and safety. The Advanced Course also involves several theory sessions that can be individually tailored to suit the technical aptitude and driving style of each participant, thanks to the continued use of the in-car data acquisition system (telemetry). Beginning at the Advanced level, students learn to analyze their own performance behind the wheel, which includes dynamic skill trials. This is elaborated upon in the subsequent Evolution Course, where drivers have their first opportunity to learn about—and experience from behind the wheel—the formidable performance of the 488 Challenge Evo.

EVOLUTION COURSE

Approach the starting line: race conditioning and refinement

In this pivotal step of the Corso Pilota series, participants further extend their abilities and develop confidence on highly technical, demanding tracks that enhance the performance of both driver and car. The Evolution Course divides up to 16 participants into four groups of four, allowing each driver to develop Ferrari track skills while experiencing the unique thrill of driving a 488 Challenge Evo race car. In-depth telemetric analysis enhances the experience and instruction as drivers take command of the same cars and tires as those used in Ferrari Challenge competition. A highly personalized teaching approach is designed to improve the technique and performance of each participant. During advanced track sessions, drivers learn to adapt sport driving techniques for everyday driving as they discover the performance of road- going Ferrari models. Meanwhile, the racing performance of the 488 Challenge Evo encourages students to explore their personal limits through dynamic skill tests. As its name suggests, the Evolution Course reflects the development—the natural evolution— gained by each driver in the progression toward competitive racing.

CHALLENGE COURSE

Mastery of the track: the spirit of Ferrari racing

The ultimate expression of race training dedicated to Ferrari customers, the Corso Pilota program culminates in the Challenge Course, wherein clients emerge ready to enter the world of Ferrari racing. The course unifies the sport driving concepts acquired during the previous three levels, employing highly technical and advanced instruction aimed at perfecting form, improving lap times and maintaining constant performance. The dynamic program, held at Circuit of The Americas in Texas and Daytona International Speedway in Florida, is based on track driving sessions behind the wheel of the 488 Challenge Evo Race car. Chronometric and telemetric evaluation help participants develop basic racing techniques, including mock racing scenarios, exercises involving passing and rolling starts, and a primer on racing etiquette. The Challenge Course offers an engaging and professional experience that prepares clients to become genuine Ferrari race drivers.
