Corso Pilota Sport offers a complete,
progressive program focused on
giving participants a comprehensive
understanding of sport driving techniques.
The course consists of a specific and
exciting two-day training program based
on an exclusive, personalized teaching
method, using Ferrari cars for track work
and vehicle control exercises.
Up to twenty-one customers are divided
into three groups of seven participants each
and receive direct, engaging instruction on
the most efficient driving position in the
cockpit, progressive accelerator and brake
control, establishing precise driving lines
through bends and braking and acceleration
techniques. Teaching leads up to thrilling car
control exercises that include conditions of
power over steer.
The course also provides a great opportunity for
getting familiar with the actual performance of
various Ferrari models thanks to a program that
lets participants experience different electronic
vehicle control setups. The practical instruction
is completed by several theory sessions aimed
at giving a more in-depth insight into driving
technique and helping participants analyze
vehicle behavior.

CORSO PILOTA ADVANCEDFurther instruction on high-speed driving and vehicle control
For customers who have already completed
Corso Pilota Sport and grasped the basic
driving techniques, Ferrari offers this second,
more advanced program.
The Advanced Course admits eighteen
participants, divided into three groups of
six each. Participants engage in a series of
intensive exercises focused on advanced,
high-speed driving and vehicle control.
As always, the emphasis is on continuity in
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 continuous use of the in-car data
acquisition system (telemetry). Starting
from this level of course, participants learn
to analyze their own performance behind
the wheel, through dynamic skill trials.

The Evolution Course divides participants
into three groups of five and offers them the
opportunity to develop their on-road Ferrari
driving skills while also experiencing the unique
thrill of driving a 458 Challenge Evo race car.
Driving techniques and excitement are
enhanced by in-depth telemetric analysis with
the use of competition cars and tires. What’s
more, a highly personalized teaching approach
is dedicated to improving the technique and
personal performance of each participant in
every detail. Again, this is thanks to intensive
use of data acquisition systems.
As its name suggests, the Evolution Course
is the natural “evolution” of Ferrari Corso
Pilota. By means of dynamic skill trials,
the course helps participants adapt sports
driving techniques to day-to-day situations
in advanced track sessions during which
they discover the performance of road-going
Ferraris and that of the 458 Challenge Evo
race car as well as their own personal limits.

Ferrari Corso Pilota culminates in the
Challenge course, the ultimate expression of
sports driving courses dedicated to Ferrari
customers. This course takes the sport
driving concepts developed in the previous
three programs to their logical conclusion.
Ferrari has created the Challenge Course to
provide highly professional and technically
advanced instruction in order to bring
customers closer to the world of Ferrari
racing. It therefore provides in-depth
instruction aimed at perfecting driving
technique and maintaining constant
performance over timed track sessions
and also teaches participants how they
can take part in the Ferrari Challenge
professionally, safely and competitively. The
dynamic program is based on track driving
sessions related to the 458 Challenge Evo.
Chronometric and telemetric assessment is
used to help participants gain familiarity with
basic racing techniques, like starting and
overtaking, the procedures for the various
stages of a race, car setup methods and race
rules and regulations.
The Challenge Course offers an incredibly
exciting and professional experience for
becoming a real Ferrari racing driver.
