      fun in a Ferrari
      We booked through TripAdvisor, which was easy. They lined up our experience through CarSchoolBox which chose to communicate with us through WhatsApp. The track was easy to find and they had enough English speakers on staff to direct us to the right place. The group instructions prior to driving was in Italian (but the video was self explanatory) and they paired us with a co-pilot who spoke English. It was fun to drive a >720 HP Ferrari on the track, though the track was so windy that it was hard to get going more than ~100 mph. We each took 3 laps but they offered more on the spot for an additional fee. It's worth doing.

      Great course, loved it!
      Thanks to Salva and Oren for a super great experience! I came with 2 friends on weekends to drive a manual Alfa, everyone enjoyed the racing course, the car is powerful and can be tricky to control in the turns. The racing course was amazing and useful, worthed every penny. All the best to the organizers!

      Amazing!
      It was a great experience. They instructor did a great job explaining how to take the turns on the track and let me put pedal to the metal and really experience the speed and horsepower. Amazing!

      Just do it
      One of the coolest experiences I’ve ever done. The instructor gave me a test lap after explaining all the important parts of the car. During the test lap he gave pointers on how much gas to apply, how much to turn, and the most efficient racing line. The 3 laps go quickly but it was still really fun on the one straightaway of the course. I would definitely come back again. The location was also convenient if you are driving from Milan to Cinque Terre. We made a pit stop here on our way to Monterosso. The only thing that was difficult was waiting a couple weeks and asking a few times for the video of your experience that is included. Other than that this experience is highly recommended.

      Very fun drive, but expensive for 3 short laps.
      Very fun to drive and excellent instructor. Great car and really nice to feel the power of the Ferrari during the long side. However, this track is really not made for this kind of car. The track is too short, and has curves that fits drifting cars or gocarts. For the price, it should have been 4 or 5 laps. It was good that my 18 yo son also could drive.

      This experience does not disappoint!!
      10 out of 10. Racing enthusiasts and casual fans alike will walk away from this experience with a whole new appreciation for these machines and memories to last a lifetime. Oren and Mei Shibi were both easy to work with and a joy to hang out with throughout the day. Oren provided excellent instruction and coaching while Mei captivated us with stories and videos of his racing experience and F3 races in between sessions. We couldn't have been happier with this experience.

      Great experience!
      I was driving a sportscar for the first time, and it was an exciting experience. Special thanks to Salvio for instructing. I booked 3 laps, and it took 15 minutes to drive. Maximum speed was 150km/h on a track.

      It was a great experience in a Ferrari and a great day at the track. Ore is a fantastic copilot and the kids and we had fun. Worth it!

      I'm no Lewis Hamilton, but I pretended I was at Racing in Italy. What a great time!
      As a surprise for my wife, I registered us the two of us for the Formula 4/Legend/Ferrari full course, and it was fantastic. Oren does a great job, and it was exactly as advertised. He gave us a video course explaining the how to take corners while racing. Then he took us one by one, as he drove the Ferrari around the course, while explaining what we needed to do to drive effectively. Then, we drove him in the Ferrari, as he coached us, and gave us pointers. The Ferrari is just an otherworldly experience. Following this, he put each of us in the Legends car for five laps to get the hang of driving a car designed to race. It was very fun, but kind of a kooky car. Finally, we each raced the Formula 4 car for 10 laps, which was amazing. A few sidetones. Where we raced is a shared race course, so there can be long breaks between drives, and different sessions, specifically motorcycles, take their turn. Additionally, if you can't drive manual shift cars, you really can't take this course. Finally, as Oren said, you will not be a race car driver after taking the course, but you will generally get better every lap, and by the 10th lap in the Formula 4, you are really having fun. You also realize almost immediately how incredible all fo the Formula One drivers really are. Again, this course was exactly as advertised. It was not cheap, but we received everything we were promised. I saw some reviews which said otherwise, and I would refute them. HIGHLY recommended.

      Highly recommended!
      Great experience. We were going to Italy for our 25 wedding anniversary and I was looking for driving experiences while we were there. This was the only one on a race track and I thought it would be better then driving on the road. I was right, the Ferrari is a race car and it wants to be driven like a race car and I was able to get a taste of that here. We had already visited the Enzo Ferrari museum in Modena and I drove the formula 1 driving simulator there, that helped in a way, get acclimated to the feel of the car. I was still a bit paranoid, driving a very expensive car on an actual race track with other race cars passing by, but after the first couple laps I was more comfortable and gave it some gas. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is a Ferrari/racing fanatic, it was a special treat for me, not sure I'll ever drive a Ferrari in Italy again(maybe in the U.S.). The only downside is the race track is far from any train station and we forgot to book the shuttle driver ahead of time so we paid a taxi to bring us and take us back, cost us 200 euros, but it was my fault.

      You don't receive what you are promised
      I bought a test drive on Ferrari 458 for my husband as a gift, for Nov. 6 2021. Based on the website description, the experience should have lasted from 1 to 2 hours and should have included the following, among other: "Racing course conducted by professional race drivers", "You will also receive a short racing courses ... [about] Race lines, braking, turning, clipping and exit points will be presented to you in theory and at the track itself. How to brake, where to brake, how to up and down shift and when to accelerate". So I imagined that it would really include a short course and then 3 laps on the track, with the whole duration of at least 1 hour. However, my husband only received 10, max 15 minutes for 1 auxiliary lap to show the track, and 3 laps purchased. That's like not even start enjoying it. When I called the manager about it, he said that we should be thankful that we did not have to wait in the line. However, we agreed about a certain time slot on that day. So naturally, I did not even think that we would ever have to wait in the line. When I said that the description on the website was deceiving and they better change it to give the correct expectations, they promised to do so but in reality they only slightly changed it to "Experience duration- up to 1-2 hours. 1 lap is about 2min drive". So the customers should understand, that the real experience only lasts as long as many laps you purchase. So if you buy 3 laps, it will only be 6 minutes, based on the current description (as of Nov. 25, 2021), max 10-15 min, as we had. Or maybe I was so unlucky and special that I've been the only client who did not receive the full range of service described on the website. Which is a really poor service for a lot of money.

      Great racing car experience
      It was a great experience for my 18 years old, driving a Ferrari, then a Legend car and then the great Formula 4. Oren gave a good and interesting introduction on how to drive those cars on a racing track. Afterwards, he drove with him to make sure he is doing it right and then driving 10 tracks on the Formula 4 car. It's a very unique experience for who ever likes racing cars. Oren and Mei were there, all the time, paying attention to all the details so this experience can be safe and enjoyable

    Did this experience on 19th May 2019. Oren was just super helpful before and at the track. One for the passionate cars fans for sure. If you have the chance to do a test drive during a factory tour - save your Euro’s and do this instead. But you really need to do at least 5 laps.

    Unwinding a Ferrari to over 6000 rpm on the back straight - for us mere mortals I don’t think I need to say anymore.

    I purchased this as a Christmas present for my husband although I felt very much part of the day.
    Prior to the big day, I had been in contact with Oren by email several times. He was always spot on, politely answering any questions I had by return.
    On the day, Oren picked us up from our city centre based Milan hotel as arranged at the agreed time.
    All the way, Oren was genuinely interested in our stay and where we were from and as an extra, he communicated areas/points of interest as well as non tourist recommendations. Upon arrival at the race track, we were offered teas and coffee.
    At this point, I can only make the review as a spectator, but just being there on the stands watching the laps was exciting enough for me, together with being able to touch, feel and sit in the Ferrari.
    All in all I would highly recommend this whether or not you choose to take part. Even after the event, you are sent a link to revisit the excitement of your laps taken via a GoPro camera fitted inside the car. The trip back to our hotel was equally pleasant.
    A nicer guy you just could not wish for to guide you on this exciting rollercoaster of a day.
    Just book it! You will not be disappointed.
