Supercar driving experience at the Varano de' Melegari Circuit

You know that supercar you always find yourself turning to look at? This time, the keys are yours.

With this sports driving experience at the Varano de’ Melegari Circuit, you’ll finally discover what it’s like to drive a real supercar on the track. Choose the car you’ve always dreamt of – Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Alfa Romeo or McLaren – select the number of laps and get ready to put yourself to the test on a proper motor racing circuit.

And if you know someone who can recognise a Ferrari just by the sound of its engine, you’ve just found their next present.

What we will do

The experience takes place at the Varano de’ Melegari Circuit, in the province of Parma. On arrival, you’ll be welcomed by the staff for registration and can help yourself to refreshments at the snack corner, which is available throughout the experience.

Before getting behind the wheel, you’ll take part in a sports driving course lasting around 30 minutes, led by a professional driver. You’ll learn how to tackle the circuit correctly – from racing lines and braking points to managing acceleration – so you can make the most of the car’s performance in complete safety.

Once the theory session is over, you’ll board a shuttle for a reconnaissance lap of the circuit: this will give you the chance to take a close look at the bends, braking points and the track’s characteristics before tackling it behind the wheel.

Then comes the moment you’ve been waiting for: you’ll take the wheel of the supercar you chose when booking. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Alfa Romeo, McLaren: all you have to do is decide which engine you want roaring behind you. During your laps on the track, you’ll always be accompanied by a professional instructor, who’ll give you guidance on how best to tackle the circuit, refine your lines and make the most of the supercar’s performance.

At the end, you’ll receive a sports driving certificate and, if you’d like to take home more than just the memory, you can purchase photos and videos of the experience (optional service not included) .

Including welcome, briefing, the course and track driving, the activity lasts approximately 2 hours in total.
