Full description
It isnot enough to have a heavy foot to feel like a driver: you need technique, control and the right place to test yourself. That place is the Castelletto Circuit, one of the most technical and safe tracks in Italy.
You will take part in a private fast driving course, designed for those who want to hone their skills or simply experience the adrenaline rush of speed in total safety. On board a 260 hp Toyota Yaris GR - compact, agile and capable of going from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds - you will have 10 laps of pure action between curves and straights.
We are waiting for you!
What we will do
The appointment is at 9 a.m. at the Castelletto Circuit (PV), where the professional instructor will welcome you.
We will begin with a 30-minute theory lesson on the correct driving position, gripping the steering wheel, braking and steering techniques, use of the eye and approach to trajectories. The aim is to give you the basics for tackling the track with confidence and awareness.
Then it's on to action: wearing a helmet, you'll get behind the wheel of the 260 hp Toyota Yaris GR while the instructor sits next to you. We'll start at a controlled speed, working on targeted exercises such as emergency braking, throttle management, and cornering with the help of cones positioned to simulate entry, apex, and exit points.
After that, we will tackle the 10 laps of the track. Here you will put into practice what you have learned, learning how to manage each corner, make the most of the track and improve lap after lap. The Castelletto Circuit is a perfect proving ground: 1,900 metres long, with 16 curves that are all different, a 350-metre straight, well-positioned kerbs, wide run-off areas and an asphalt that also allows for wet simulations.
At the end of the approximately 4-hour course, you will take home an official certificate and a new confidence behind the wheel.
Who it is aimed at
The course is open to everyone over the age of 18 with a B licence, including new drivers. Foreign driving licences are also accepted, provided they are issued within the European Community.

You will drive a 260 hp Toyota Yaris GR, capable of reaching 230 km/h and sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5. 5 seconds. A compact yet spirited sports car, perfect for learning to dominate the track and experiencing the adrenaline rush of speed in a safe and controlled environment.
