nasce nel 1993 con l’obiettivo di offrire ai clienti Ferrari un servizio di altissimo profilo<br />
tecnico e logistico e per permettergli di gustare appieno ed in sicurezza le formidabili<br />
prestazioni dei modelli del cavallino Rampante.<br />
I contenuti dei corsi sono stati sviluppati ed evoluti nel tempo con continuità,<br />

Il percorso Pilota Ferrari a disposizione esclusiva dei clienti prevede l’opportunità di<br />
frequentare vari e successivi livelli di corso, che propongono contenuti via via più tecnici<br />
e complessi, erogati con sapiente cadenza, da affrontare facendo tesoro dell’esperienza,<br />

transitando dai livelli Avanzato ed Evoluzione, per arrivare alla Scuola Piloti Challenge<br />

alle diverse attese degli allievi, anche grazie all’utilizzo di piste ad elevato tasso tecnico e<br />

1. PILOTA FERRARI EVOLUTION<br />
Welcome to the Pilota Ferrari driving courses<br />
Pilota Ferrari driving courses represent the story of a successful project that began in<br />
1993 with the objective of offering Ferrari customers a service of the highest technical<br />
and logistical profile and enabling them to savour the formidable performance of the<br />
models of the Prancing Horse to the full, in safety.<br />
The course contents have been developed and have evolved over time with continuity,<br />
professionalism and attention to Ferrari customer expectations, developing a driver<br />
teaching methodology which is ever more refined and detailed, made complete with<br />
the most modern technologies in the field and aligned with the technological evolution<br />
of the Ferrari models.<br />
The Pilota Ferrari course, exclusively available to customers, provides the opportunity<br />
to attend various and successive course levels, offering content which is increasingly<br />
technical and complex, delivered at the perfect pace, to be tackled using the experience,<br />
sensitivity and driving technique acquired in previous courses. Starting from the Sport<br />
course, by passing through the Advanced and Evolution levels, reaching the Scuola<br />
Pilota Challenge and Challenge course, Ferrari customers have the opportunity to really<br />
improve their driving style and skills behind the wheel, to the point of being able to<br />
acquire sufficient mastery to compete safely in real Challenge Championship races.<br />
A complete program, therefore, perfectly structured, able to match the various<br />
expectations of the students, thanks to the use of circuits with a high technical level and<br />
equipped with specific infrastructures, cutting-edge scenarios perfect for sports driving<br />
courses where Ferrari cars and customers are the protagonists.<br />

2. PARTECIPARE AI CORSI<br />
Un percorso di crescita progressivo su più livelli<br />
Vetture con prestazioni estreme, gare automobilistiche e lo sviluppo di piloti fanno parte<br />
dell’essenza della Ferrari. Prendere parte ai corsi di guida Pilota Ferrari significa perciò<br />
essere formati dalle persone più competenti a farlo. I piloti-istruttori, professionisti dalla<br />
lunga esperienza al volante delle auto della Ferrari, sono in grado di accompagnare<br />
l’allievo dal corso sport a quelli più evoluti.<br />
La dinamica di questa progressione d’insegnamento è didatticamente integrata e permette<br />
di seguire corsi successivi fino a raggiungere un livello “racing”, con la possibilità di<br />
proseguire nella serie Ferrari challenge. Allo stesso tempo l’insegnamento è totalmente<br />
personalizzato, per fare in modo che l’allievo arrivi a sfruttare al massimo le formidabili<br />
prestazioni delle vetture Ferrari.<br />
Di fondamentale importanza quindi la selezione e la preparazione dei modelli messi a<br />
disposizione dall’organizzazione a Fiorano. Un parco auto costituito da sei 458 Italia,<br />
tre 458 Speciale, quattro F12berlinetta e cinque 458 Challenge permette di mettere<br />
nelle condizioni ideali i protagonisti dei corsi, trasformando questo programma in<br />
un’esperienza unica.<br />

2. TAKING PART IN THE COURSES<br />
A multi-level course for continuous progress<br />
Cars with extreme performance, motor racing and driver development are what Ferrari<br />
is all about. Taking part in a Pilota Ferrari driving course means learning from the<br />
people best equipped to teach you. Drivers-instructors are all professionals with years<br />
of Ferrari driving experience behind them, equipped to accompany “beginners” from<br />
the Sport course to the most advanced levels.<br />
The didactically integrated learning path of Pilota Ferrari sports driving courses lets<br />
you progress through a succession of levels right up to “racing” level. At this point,<br />
if you wish, you can enter the Ferrari Challenge series. At the same time, teaching is<br />
totally personalized, so that students can be sure of learning how to make full use of the<br />
amazing performance that Ferrari cars offer.<br />
The selection and preparation of the Ferrari cars made available for students to drive<br />
on the Fiorano track is therefore of fundamental importance. The fleet consists of six<br />
458 Italia, three 458 Speciale, four F12berlinetta and five 458 Challenge. These models<br />
provide course participants with the ideal learning opportunity, as well as the ultimate<br />
driving experience.<br />

3. SPORTS DRIVING COURSE<br />
In the driving seat: the first step towards competitive driving<br />
The Pilota Ferrari course offers a complete, progressive program focused on giving<br />
participants a comprehensive understanding of sport driving techniques. The course consists<br />
of a specific and exciting two-day training program based on an exclusive, personalized<br />
teaching method, using Ferrari cars for track work and vehicle control exercises.<br />
Twenty-eight customers are divided into four groups of seven participants each and receive<br />
direct, engaging instruction on the most efficient driving position in the cockpit, progressive<br />
accelerator and brake control, establishing precise driving lines through bends and braking<br />
and acceleration techniques. Teaching leads up to thrilling car control exercises that include<br />
conditions of power over steer.<br />
The course also provides a great opportunity for getting familiar with the actual performance<br />
of various Ferrari models thanks to a program that lets you experience different electronic<br />
vehicle control setups. The practical instruction is completed by several theory sessions<br />
aimed at giving a more in-depth insight into driving technique and helping drivers analyse<br />
vehicle behaviour.<br />
13
4. CORSO AVANZATO<br />
L’approfondimento della guida veloce e del controllo vettura<br />
Per quei clienti che hanno già partecipato al corso sport, apprendendo le tecniche<br />
fondamentali di pilotaggio, la Ferrari offre la possibilità di effettuare uno stage di<br />
approfondimento.<br />
Il corso Avanzato prevede 20 partecipanti, suddivisi in 4 gruppi da 5 persone ciascuno.<br />
Per i partecipanti è previsto un uso intensivo e specialistico delle vetture Ferrari, nozioni<br />
avanzate di guida veloce e di controllo vettura, il tutto nella massima continuità di esercizio<br />
e nella consueta sicurezza.<br />
L’approfondimento offerto dal corso Avanzato coinvolge anche alcune sessioni di teoria<br />
e prevede una didattica altamente personalizzata secondo le attitudini tecniche e stili di<br />
guida di ogni partecipante, grazie all’utilizzo continuativo del sistema di acquisizione dati<br />
in vettura (telemetria). A partire da questo livello di corso i partecipanti acquisiscono<br />
la consapevolezza delle proprie performance alla guida, cimentandosi anche in prove<br />
dinamiche di abilità, che verranno sviluppate maggiormente nel successivo Corso<br />
Evoluzione.<br />

4. ADVANCED COURSE<br />
Further instruction on high-speed driving and vehicle control<br />
For customers who have already completed the Sport Course and grasped the basic driving<br />
techniques, Ferrari offers this second, more advanced program.<br />
The Advanced Course admits twenty participants, divided into four groups of five each.<br />
Participants get the opportunity to do plenty of intensive, specialist Ferrari driving and<br />
learn about advanced high-speed driving and vehicle control. As always, the emphasis is on<br />
continuity in practice and safety.<br />
The Advanced Course also involves several theory sessions that can be individually tailored<br />
to suit the technical aptitude and driving style of each participant, thanks to the continuous<br />
use of the in-car data acquisition system (telemetry). Starting from this level of course,<br />
participants learn to analyse their own performance behind the wheel, including through<br />
dynamic skill trials. This is elaborated upon in the follow-on Evolution Course.<br />
17
5. CORSO EVOLUZIONE<br />
Il primato della tecnica, l’emozione della pista:<br />
l’esaltazione della performance sportiva<br />
Suddivisi in 4 gruppi di 4 partecipanti ciascuno i clienti possono vivere l’esperienza della<br />
loro partecipazione al corso Evoluzione, integrando le tecniche di guida di una Ferrari<br />
stradale con le sensazioni uniche ed entusiasmanti che si possono provare al volante di<br />
vetture racing 458 Challenge.<br />
Tecniche ed emozioni sono valorizzate da analisi telemetriche approfondite, basate<br />
anche sull’uso di vetture e pneumatici da competizione; il tutto corredato da didattica<br />
estremamente personalizzata e votata al miglioramento dettagliato della tecnica e della<br />
prestazione personale di guida di ogni singolo allievo, sempre grazie all’ausilio intensivo<br />
dei sistemi di acquisizione dati.<br />
L’obiettivo principale è infatti la naturale “evoluzione” del corso Pilota Ferrari: sviluppo<br />
dei contenuti di sportività per la guida di tutti i giorni attraverso un’attività di pista ad alto<br />
livello, dove misurare le performance delle Ferrari stradali, le performance racing della 458<br />
Challenge ed anche i propri limiti personali attraverso prove dinamiche di abilità.<br />

the emotion of sports performance<br />
The Evolution Course divides participants into four groups of four and offers them the<br />
opportunity to develop their on-road Ferrari driving skills while experiencing the unique thrill<br />
of driving a 458 Challenge race car.<br />

on the use of competition cars and tyres. What’s more, a highly personalized teaching<br />
approach is dedicated to improving the technique and personal performance of each<br />
participant in every detail. Again, this is thanks to intensive use of data acquisition systems.<br />
As its name suggests, the Evolution Course is the natural “evolution” of the Pilota Ferrari<br />
course. By means of dynamic skill trials, the course helps drivers adapt sports driving<br />
techniques to day-to-day situations in advanced track sessions during which they discover<br />
the performance of road-going Ferraris and that of the 458 Challenge race car, plus their<br />
own personal limits.<br />

The idea behind the Pilota Ferrari Limited Edition program is that of a dedicated project<br />
which allows customers to put their technique and driving style to the test on some of the<br />
most prestigious racetracks in the world, such as the Mugello circuit. Designed in the 1970s,<br />
then thoroughly modernized, the Mugello circuit is one of the most attractive, modern<br />
and safe tracks at an international level. The track is over five thousand metres long. Its<br />
configuration is extremely technical and appealing for all true driving enthusiasts, who can<br />
take the models made available by Pilota Ferrari for the event to the limit, in a thrilling<br />
experience of performance.<br />
The practical program includes a series of driving sessions which will allow the participants<br />
to learn the secrets of the track and perfect their techniques with the continuous support of<br />
a team of driver-instructors from the Pilota Ferrari program.<br />
Progressive, personalized instruction will be guaranteed through the intensive use of<br />
telemetry, which will allow participants to compare their performance with that of expert<br />
professional drivers. In addition, the program will conclude with a driving competition, both<br />
on the track using data acquisition systems and through practical car handling exercises.<br />

12. CORSO PILOTA IN USA<br />
Austin, Mt. Tremblant & Aspen<br />
Il Corso Pilota Ferrari è un esclusivo corso di due giorni, riservato a clienti Ferrari e ad un<br />
selezionato numero di ospiti, basato sul programma “Corso Pilota” disponibile a Maranello.<br />
Iniziato nel 2006, il corso consente ai clienti di apprezzare le doti dinamiche e le performance<br />
delle vetture Ferrari attualmente disponibili, su due dei circuiti più importanti del Nord<br />
America, Mont Tremblant in Canada ed Austin in Texas.<br />
Il nuovissimo circuito di Austin, con i suoi 5.5 km e oltre 40 m di dislivello, consente ai<br />
clienti di provare le emozioni di guida sull’ unico tracciato degli Stati Uniti certificato<br />
per ospitare il campionato di F1. Il circuito di Mont-Tremblant, situato nel cuore delle<br />
Laurentian Mountains, è il luogo ideale per un corso di guida. I suoi oltre 4 km combinano<br />
lo splendido paesaggio con una serie di dislivelli naturali, per tutta la lunghezza del tracciato.<br />
Durante i due giorni di corso gli studenti, seguiti da un team di piloti professionisti,<br />
impareranno come portare la frenata al limite, come gestire il trasferimento del peso vettura<br />
e l’accelerazione, individuare la linea di guida ideale e scopriranno i limiti di aderenza delle<br />
vetture sia in condizioni di bagnato che di asciutto. Sebbene all’interno di un circuito, il Corso<br />
Pilota Ferrai non è una racing school. L’obiettivo principale è quello di imparare a guidare e<br />
controllare la potenza delle vetture per poterle gestire al meglio e in sicurezza in situazioni di<br />
guida impegnative, con un maggiore senso di consapevolezza e maggiore precisione.<br />
Situata a meno di un’ora di volo da Aspen in Colorado, Steamboat Spring ospita il tracciato<br />
appositamente preparato per il corso Ferrari. Sotto la supervisione di piloti ed istruttori,<br />
alla guida di una flotta di FF, i clienti potranno sperimentare l’innovativo sistema 4WD ed<br />
apprezzarne la facilita di guida e di gestione vettura su neve e ghiaccio.<br />

12. CORSO PILOTA USA<br />
Austin, Mt. Tremblant and Aspen<br />
Now available at two premium tracks in North America, Ferrari Corso Pilota is an exclusive<br />
two- day precision driving school that allows Ferrari Owners and special guests to experience<br />
the performance of a Ferrari in the controlled environment of a race track. Offered since 2006<br />
in Mt. Tremblant Canada and now in Austin, Texas, these courses are based on the Corso<br />
Pilota programs available in Italy.<br />
The new course in Austin will allow participants to experience the thrill of this state-of-theart,<br />
3.4- mile circuit track that offers 133 feet of elevation change. It not only hosts the most<br />
prestigious racing events in the world, it is the only F1A-certified grade track in the U.S. Located<br />
in the heart of the Laurentian Mountains, Le Circuit Mont-Tremblant is an ideal setting for a<br />
driving school. The 2.65-mile track combines the natural topography of the site with elevation<br />
changes from the start/finish line to corner-8 and back.<br />
During the two-day program, participants will learn from a host of current and former professional<br />
racers in techniques such as threshold braking, weight transfer, managing acceleration,<br />
identifying the ideal driving line on track and discovering the limits of vehicle adhesion in both<br />
wet and dry driving situations. Although the setting is a race track, Ferrari Corso Pilota is not<br />
a racing school. The focus is on learning to drive and control a Ferrari properly and to understand<br />
and communicate with the vehicle. Graduates are then better prepared to face challenging<br />
driving situations with an enhanced sense of awareness and greater precision.<br />
Located within a short one hour air flight from Aspen, Ferrari has a dedicated snow-and- ice<br />
track in Steamboat Springs, CO. The highly technical course will allow participants, under the<br />
close direction of Ferrari instructors, to experience the impressive handling attributes of the FF<br />
through its Ferrari 4WD system.<br />

Pilota Ferrari - Challenge Course (Varano de’ Melegari Racetrack)<br />
The course<br />
The Challenge course is the toughest of all Pilota Ferrari courses, and takes the sports driving concepts developed<br />
in the three previous levels to their natural conclusion. It is designed to offer customers a superbly professional<br />
and technically evolved service. The theory and practice acquired in a Pilota Ferrari - Evolution Course<br />
are prerequisites for all aspiring Challenge Course participants. The course program involves intensive use of<br />
the 458 Challenge to ensure progressive improvement of driving techniques and performance. The dynamically<br />
structured course program is based on timed driving sessions on the track. Participants are therefore given an<br />
opportunity to become familiar with basic racing techniques like starting and overtaking, as well as the procedures<br />
for the various stages of a race, car setup methods and race rules. At the end of the course, participants can<br />
also sit the test for driving cars of over 2000 cc required by the Italian National Sports Federation to compete<br />
in Ferrari Challenge races. The course therefore offers an exciting and professional experience and develops you<br />
as a “real” Ferrari driver.<br />
Course dates<br />
The courses last two days and take place on the following dates: 28/29 July, 25/26 September.<br />
Participants<br />
A maximum of 10 participants are admitted to each course. All participants must have already completed the<br />
Evolution Course.<br />
Instructors and cars<br />
Instruction will be provided by 6 drivers-instructors with extensive race driving course experience. Participants<br />
will have the use of five 458 Challenge.<br />
Fee<br />
The course fee is 15,246.00 Euros (VAT excluded) per participant. This includes two days at the track (including<br />
half day of theory), transfers, cocktail, two evening meals, two night’s accommodation at the Grand<br />
Hotel de la Ville ***** in Parma, lunch at the track and personalized Pilota Ferrari Course gifts. Each participant<br />
may be accompanied by one or more companions who will be given the opportunity to take part<br />
in a special guest program. The fee per companion is 1,100.00 Euros (VAT excluded) and includes the following<br />
activites: cooking lesson, city of Parma tour, SPA treatment. On request, participants may also take<br />
the test for the ACI-CSAI licence to race cars of over 2000 cc. There is an additional cost of 600.00 Euros<br />
(VAT excluded) for this test. Italian customers who already hold an Italian International C Class licence will be<br />
entitled to enter the Ferrari Challenge once they obtain the ACI-CSAI licence. By taking and passing the ACI-<br />
CSAI test for cars over 2000 cc, customers from other countries in the European Union and Italian customers<br />
who do not already hold the Italian International C Class licence will automatically qualify for one and may<br />
obtain their licence at an additional cost of 400.00 Euros (VAT excluded). Customers from countries outside<br />
the European Union who pass the ACI-CSAI test for cars over 2000 cc may obtain an Italian International<br />
C Class licence only provided the Automobile Club or body responsible for race driver licensing in their own<br />
country is willing to provide the ACI-CSAI with a declaration recognising the validity of the Italian licence.<br />
The additional cost for such customers remains 400.00 Euros (VAT excluded). All customers intending<br />
to take the test must present a medical certificate demonstrating their fitness for motor racing. Certificates<br />
can be obtained by undergoing a medical examination at any authorized Italian Sports Medicine centre.<br />

according to the ability and experience of the single drivers, so that they can express their driving skills in full<br />
safety and continuously supported by the Pilota Ferrari instructors. Participants will enjoy personalized instruction<br />
and improve their skills with the help of telemetry which is used to compare their performance with that of expert<br />
professional drivers. In addition, the program will conclude with a driving competition which is carried out on the<br />
track using data acquisition systems and through practical car handling exercises. The practical program includes<br />
a number of driving sessions which will allow the participants to learn the secrets of the track and perfect their<br />
technique with the continuous support of a team of instructors from the Pilota Ferrari program, to improve their<br />
personal driving performance on an extremely technical and demanding track, a true testing ground for real drivers.<br />

Pilota Ferrari - Scuola Piloti Challenge Course (Varano de’ Melegari Racetrack)<br />
The course<br />
“Pilota Ferrari – Challenge Driver School” is an innovative course which combines instruction to perfect driving<br />
technique on road-going cars with specific preparation for driving the Challenge model, with the potential<br />
for participants to get the licence that permits them to compete in the relevant championship. The Challenge<br />
Driver School offers drivers the opportunity to condense the technical content necessary to drive the Challenge<br />
model appropriately and safely into a single course, if participants have not previously attended the Evolution<br />
Driver Course, a requisite for taking part in the Challenge Driver Course. The course comprises an initial day of<br />
practical sessions on 458 Italia, 458 Speciale including: telemetry analysis of performance on the track, use of a<br />
pace-car, finding the car’s limits in cornering and optimising overall driving performance, also with chronometric<br />
analysis. Starting from the second day, the track driving activity develops with the integrated, then intensive<br />
use of the Challenge model, with a progression of content based on the improvement of driving technique and<br />
performance, concluding with the standard Challenge Course program. The practice of the third day hinges on<br />
timed track driving sessions, to allow participants to acquire basic racing concepts, like starting and overtaking<br />
techniques, and learn the procedures for the various stages of a race, car set-up methods plus race rules and<br />
regulations for the Challenge Championship. At the end of the course, participants can also sit the test for driving<br />
cars of over 2000 cc required by the Italian National Sports Federation to compete in Ferrari Challenge races.<br />
Course dates<br />
The course lasts three days and takes place over the following dates: 20/21/22 May, 8/9/10 July, 14/15/16<br />
October.<br />
Participants<br />
A minimum of seven and a maximum of ten participants who have already taken the Advanced Course are<br />
admitted.<br />
Instructors and cars<br />
The course is delivered by six driver-instructors with extensive race driving course experience. Three 458 Italia,<br />
three 458 Speciale and five 458 Challenge will be used.<br />
Fee<br />
The participation fee is 27,300 euros (excluding VAT). This includes three days at the track, transfers, three evening<br />
meals, a three night’s accomodation at the Grand Hotel de la Ville ***** in Parma, lunches at the track and personalized<br />
Pilota Ferrari Course gifts. Each participant may be accompanied by one or more companions, who will<br />
be given the opportunity to take part in a special guest program. The fee per companion is 1,500 euros (excluding<br />
VAT) and includes the following activities: cooking lessons, city of Parma tour and SPA treatment. On request,<br />
participants may also take the test for the ACI-ACI-CSAI licence to race cars of over 2000 cc. There is an additional<br />
cost of 600.00 Euros (VAT excluded) for this test. Italian customers who already hold an Italian International C<br />
Class licence will be entitled to enter the Ferrari Challenge once they obtain the ACI-ACI-CSAI licence. By taking<br />
and passing the ACI-ACI-CSAI test for cars over 2000 cc, customers from other countries in the European Union<br />
and Italian customers who do not already hold the Italian International C Class licence will automatically qualify<br />
for one and may obtain their licence at an additional cost of 400.00 Euros (VAT excluded). Customers from<br />
countries outside the European Union who pass the ACI-CSAI test for cars over 2000 cc may obtain an Italian<br />
International C Class licence only provided the Automobile Club or body responsible for race driver licensing<br />
in their own country is willing to provide the ACI-CSAI with a declaration recognising the validity of the Italian<br />
licence. The additional cost for such customers remains 400.00 Euros (VAT excluded). All customers intending to<br />

Measure your head as shown, around the the widest<br />
part of your head. This is generally right above your<br />
