ferrari driving experience from red letter days

Drive a fast and challenging car around a fast and challenging circuit with this superb Ferrari experience!

You’ll start out in a hot hatch with an instructor getting expert tuition on racing lines and high-speed driving techniques and then it’s into the Ferrari to build on what you’ve just learnt!

The exact experience varies by the location chosen:

Three Sisters – 7 miles in a Ferrari 360 followed by 3 miles in a hot hatch and conclude with 10 miles in a single-seater racing car (23 miles in total).

Thruxton or Croft – 3 laps in a Porsche Cayman, 4 laps in a Ferrari 355 plus 5 laps in a single-seater (25 miles at Croft, 28.8 miles at Thruxton)

Rockingham – Ferrari 360 for 6 miles on the track and then a single-seater for another 20mins.

A high-speed passenger ride concludes your experience at some venues.
