Driving a Ferrari in Italy – The Ultimate Ferrari Experience

When you think of luxury Italian cars, three legendary names come to mind, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Maserati. Which one is the best? In a heartbeat, I say, Ferrari! What is there not to love about Ferrari cars? In my opinion, Ferraris are the sexiest car on the planet.

For some, owning a Ferrari is only a dream, a SWEET dream, but that is all – definitely just a dream for me. However, a dream we could make come true was driving a Ferrari in Italy! This was a huge  bucket list item on my very long list and I am happy to say, we were able to make my dream of driving a Ferrari in Italy come true! Let’s be honest, what could be more thrilling during a trip to Italy than driving a Ferrari?

2 Ways of Driving a Ferrari in Italy

Do you feel the need, the need for speed?!? Visitors yearning to drive a Ferrari in Italy can achieve this in two different ways – test drive on the open road or burn rubber on a race track. You really cannot go wrong with either choice. At the end of your driving experience, we bet your heart will be pounding and your hands shaking – mine sure did.

Driving a Ferrari on the Open Road

The two most popular cities to drive a Ferrari on the open road in Italy are Maranello  and Florence . The options are almost endless, you can drive a Ferrari for a duration of 2 miles (4km) to almost 14 miles (22km) or 10 minutes up to 2 hours! During your test drive, there will be an expert instructor guiding you through the rolling hills and winding roads of Italy. Hopefully watching out for police officers too, though we were told that the police typically let Ferraris go – that’s Italy for you! The longer your test drive, the longer your guided route will be. In some Ferrari models, you are also able to have an additional guest in the car (prices may occur).

Driving a Ferrari in Italy on the open road is for drivers wanting that luxury feel. Though you are driving in a sports car that can reach up to 208 mph, chances are you may not be reaching top speed because of the winding roads. However, you will be driving in Italy surrounded by beautiful landscapes. So I guarantee it will be the most blissful drive of your entire life.

Driving a Ferrari on a Race Track

For those wanting the most thrilling Ferrari experience, you need to drive on a race track . So pack your racing gloves because this motorsport experience is an adrenaline rush on steroids!

After a perfect day in Milan , we chose to fulfill my dream of driving a Ferrari in Italy at a race track just south of the city. So with that said, after enjoying a full day of sightseeing in Milan , driving a Ferrari at a nearby race track is the perfect way to finish a trip to Milan.

Driving a Ferrari in Italy on one of their many beautiful race tracks are for thrill seekers and car racing lovers. Though you have the track to yourself, driving on a race track is a completely different feeling than the open road. The open road is calm, whereas the race track is exhilarating. When you driving on the race track, you are not only driving a Ferrari in Italy, but you are also learning how to drive like a professional. Furthermore, you get to accelerate on the straightaways and truly feel the speed.

My Ferrari Driving Experience in Italy

We booked my Ferrari driving experience with Racing in Italy at the Castelletto Circuit – Motodromo Autodromo. The experience includes a 30-minute briefing of the race course, 1 lap in the passenger seat with the instructor driving, 3 laps driving the Ferrari 458 yourself and a video of your experience. The expert instructors do an excellent job of teaching the drivers how to drive on a race track. I learned very quickly that it is not just about turning the wheel in the right direction, but strategically braking and turning properly at every corner.

My instructor, Oren, drove the first few turns slowly so that I could learn and see the proper driving techniques. Then he drove fast and it was a lot of fun being in the passenger seat. After our first lap, I got into the driver seat and my real fun began. The first lap was all about getting acquainted and the jitters out. During every turn, Oren would guide me with the driving lingo so that I was properly making my sharp turns. The second time around I had a real groove going and by the third lap I let loose and tore up the track – well at least I tried to.

The straightaway is the best part of the track because you floor it until you have to brake. I was able to easily break 100mph within seconds! Surprinsgly, making the turns while driving fast was just as fun as accelerating on the straightaway. Overall the Castelletto Circuit was a great course, it’s a 1.2mile (2km) race track with 16 turns and a single 450meter straightaway. My only wish is that the straightaway was longer because I wanted more SPEED!

This was without a doubt, the most exhilarating experience of my life. When I was driving on the race track and flooring it after my turns, the sound of the Ferrari’s engine sounded like music to my ears. The adrenaline rush from the speed of the Ferrari alone was also very addicting. I cannot recommend this experience of driving a Ferrari in Italy at a race track enough. I walked away feeling like a pro.

The Cherry on Top

Another dream of mine had always been to model with a Ferrari supercar. What can I say? I LOVE Ferraris! So in addition to the best driving experience, I was also able to have a photo shoot with my Ferrari 458. My modeling career started and ended that day. Racing in Italy does a phenomenal job creating a personal experience for their guests.

Their package rate for this driving experience is very reasonable and worth every penny. I left Racing in Italy with one of the biggest smiles of my life and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Bonus Lap –  Visiting the Ferrari Museums

If you are like me and cannot get enough of Ferraris, then we recommend visiting the Ferrari Museums. There are two – one in Maranello and one in Modena. The museums are very close to each other, only 25 minutes away by car. So it is easy to enjoy both museums to make the most out of your ultimate Ferrari experience in Italy. You can visit on a  day trip from Bologna , Florence, Milan, or Venice. Furthermore, you can also combine your Ferrari experience with a special Modena food tour .

Enzo Ferrari Museum

The Enzo Ferrari Museum is located in Modena and focuses on Enzo Ferrari, the founder of the Ferrari sports car marque. The museum is comprised of two buildings, one is the house and workshop that belonged to Enzo Ferrari’s father and a newly designed building next door. It is only fitting that this museum showcases Enzo’s life and his work of building the best sports car manufacture in the world.

The house features an audio-visual show to tell the story of Enzo’s 90-year life. The workshop is a museum of Ferrari engines and the new building which boasts 65,000 ft has an extensive gallery displaying some of the most noteworthy Ferrari automobiles. Visitors can see some of Ferrari’s most rare cars from the 1950s, Formula One race cars, and today’s more recent sports cars.

Ferrari Museum

The Ferrari Museum is located in Maranello and focuses on the story and evolution of Ferrari automobiles. From the streets to the circuits this museum covers it all. Visitors can see the transition of Ferrari street cars by walking through the exhibit and viewing the beautiful models up close. From the hot red, to lightning yellow and cool blue – the museum showcases Ferrari cars in all of the luxury colors.

Another part of the museum showcases the Ferrari Formula One automobiles, the trophies won over the centuries, and photographs of some of the most notable Ferrari drivers.

Do you feel the need for speed yet? I always do and I hope you enjoyed my ultimate Ferrari experience in Italy! I cannot express enough how exhilarating and fun it is to drive a Ferrari in Italy. The bonus lap was being able to see over 30 Ferrari cars at the Ferrari Museum, which I also highly recommend.

Ferrari, Maserati & Lamborghini are all Italian and it is necessary to go see how it all works. Good you didn't go to Germany to drive an Audi! 😃 Ferraris are dear to Italians and these amazing works of performance art fit into the countryside. You made for yourselves a special experience. Your family enjoys an exciting destiny and bringing up children who appreciate different cultures provides them something valuable on their life paths. Venice is worth the trip, but you can't bring your Ferrari because there are no cars as it is all built on near to 120 islands! The Venezia Ferrari is a gondola boat moving fast through the canals! As we grow spiritually, soon we transition from desire fulfillment motivations to following truth. The most beautiful rumbling engine, is the power of life from where the universe arises. This engine never stops, never misleads and never grows old. The wonders of life all come from the source of life. As we enjoy our explorations and adventures in sense experience, it is important to develop as beings who look inward to our own hearts and find even greater awe.

I own #69907. I also go to Las Vegas every year to drive the latest models on a closed track. We are going to Italy soon. Driving the countryside there would be fun. Can you rent a Ferrari for more than a few hours? like days?

oursweetadventures

That is awesome! And yes, I have seen places where you can rent a Ferrari in Italy for a few hours. Very jealous you are going to get that amazing opportunity!

Sunday 15th of December 2019

Definitely worth the experience. Thanks for sharing!

Monday 23rd of December 2019

My pleasure! I hope you enjoy this experience too :)

Monday 4th of November 2019

Quick question: Did you have to rent a car to get down there? Do you know if there are similar tracks in other Italian cities? (Some of the tracks I've looked at are SUPER expensive!)

Tuesday 5th of November 2019

We did have a car to get us to the race track outside of Milan. If you drive in Tuscany, they typically pick you up in Florence. And you can train to Modena and drive the Ferrari on their race track (I believe). I hope that helps.

Amazing Ferrari Driving Experience in Italy

Updated May 25, 2023

// By Margherita

Have you always wanted to drive a Ferrari? Here’s how to do it – we’ll tell you all about our amazing Ferrari driving experience in Italy, at the Modena Race Track! ***UPDATED 2023

My mother is from Modena, and Ferrari has always been part of our lives. I remember driving a radio-controlled Ferrari Testarossa in the late Eighties, and we weren’t allowed to cheer for anyone but Ferrari during Formula One tournaments. 

Nick is also a massive F1 fan, so when we got the opportunity to spend four days exploring the Motor Valley , the part of Emilia-Romagna where motoring companies like Ferrari, Ducati, Lamborghini, and Maserati have their headquarters, we jumped at the chance. 

And when we heard that a Ferrari driving experience was included in our programme… we literally jumped with joy. 

After visiting iconic Motor Valley sights like the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena , the Lamborghini Museum and Factory , and the Maserati Museum , we just couldn’t wait to drive a real Ferrari around a race track. 

The experience would be a little different from what we had imagined – but no less amazing. Read on to discover why!

Ferrari Driving Experience at the Modena Race Track

The modena race track.

We reached the Modena Race Track early one late September morning. It was sunny but just a little misty, with wisps of fog rising from the valley, expanding as far as we could see. 

The Modena Race Track was built in 2011, to replace a former race track, the Aerautodromo di Modena, location of some of the first F2 races. The Aerautodromo di Modena was first born as an airport, and it was then used as a testing track by both Ferrari and Maserati. 

As the city grew around it, it was decommissioned in the 1970s, and it became a public park twenty years later.

The new Modena race track was planned specifically for test drives – it is 2068 meters long, with straight sections and a total of 11 turns. On the straight sections, drivers and passengers are able to ‘feel the speed’ of the supercars they’re in, and the turns allow them to test the incredible manoeuvrability of Ferrari and other supercars. 

In 2012, the Modena Race Track subscribed to an agreement to promote electric and sustainable mobility , with the aim of becoming the first carbon-neutral race track in Italy.

There’s actually a lot of research into sustainable technology in the world of supercars – the Lamborghini factory in nearby Sant’Agata Bolognese has been certified as carbon-neutral since 2015. I bet you didn’t expect that from a supercar manufacturer – and if you want to know more, make sure you visit and take a top secret Lamborghini factory tour!

Nowadays, the Modena Race Track organises a number of activities , including ‘green driving courses’ showing people how to maximise the use of fuel, motorbike courses, open days when people can come and drive their own car, and naturally, Ferrari test drives – the reason why we were all there.

The Car – Ferrari 458 Challenge

The Modena Race Track offers a variety of supercar driving experiences – so you can also opt for a Lamborghini , if you’re not a Ferrari person!

It’s possible to choose between a Ferrari 488 Challenge (their best car), Ferrari 458 Challenge, Ferrari 430 Challenge, Lamborghini Gallardo Trofeo, Lamborghini Huracan Trofeo , and KTM X-Bow. 

Our Ferrari driving experience was going to be in a Ferrari 458 Challenge. I’ll give you some technical details in case you’re a car person – it was introduced during the Bologna Motor Show in 2010, as an improvement from the F430. It’s 100 kg lighter, thanks to changes in the seats, wheels and chassis. 

The Ferrari 458 Challenge has a 4.5 liter V8 engine, with 340 km/hour (21o miles) top speed, and accelerates between 0-100 km/60 miles in 2.6 seconds. 

Something that really surprised me was how light the car was – only 1200 kilograms, about as much as my own Fiat Panda! As you enter the car, you’ll see why – the interiors have been stripped of all but the essentials, and seats are bare-bones.

These racing cars are not road legal and they’re not meant to be comfortable – the aim is speed!

Our Ferrari Driving Experience

After entering the Modena race track, we were taken to a waiting room with drinks and snacks, where we were also briefed. There, we found out some unexpected news – we wouldn’t be able to drive the Ferrari ourselves , we would go around the track as passengers. 

To be honest, I didn’t mind that at all – I thought that being driven by a professional would be a far better way to enjoy riding in a Ferrari 458 at its fullest , with its incredible braking and acceleration abilities. 

We all signed a disclaimer, and one by one, we were handed a black balaclava (that we got to keep!) and a blue and yellow racing helmet – the colours of the Modena race track.  

There were two different Ferrari 458 Challenge – a yellow and a red one. To be honest, I really, really wished I would get to ride on the red one. Even though the earliest Ferraris were yellow, ‘Ferrari red’ has been the signature colour for decades, since Italy was assigned the colour red in racing competitions.  

The gods listened to my wish, and I did indeed get to sit on the red Ferrari 458. My heart was pounding as I climbed into the racing seat – they’re lower than regular car seats, and moulded to fit the shape of your body. 

An assistant buckled me up in the 5 point racing harness, while a myriad of questions coursed through me. How would I film? Should I use my phone or GoPro? Would I even be able to film at all, or would I get sick at the first turn?

The acceleration took me by surprise. It felt like being on a rollercoaster and a plane all at once – there was just enough time for me to realise that we were actually moving, and we were already topping 180 km/h (110 miles). 

Then came the braking and turning , the part I was worried about given my tendency to get motion-sick. The driver hit the brake, flipped the paddles on either side of the steering wheel, and within seconds our speed had dropped to 70 km/h (43 miles), and we were turning smoothly. 

The first lap was over in a flash, before I could even press the ‘record’ button on my phone. Then, there we were again – zipping down the straight stretch , accelerating and braking faster than I could even realise what was going on. 

Then, once again, it was over – I would do it all over again , I thought, as I took my helmet off with a huge grin on my face. 

We didn’t end up driving our own Ferraris, but being driven by a professional allowed us to experience the full potential of the cars.

Ok, maybe not full full,  as we only hit 200 km/h (125 miles) maximum, a far cry from the 340 km/hour (21o miles) top speed – but still, there’s no way I would have been able to flip paddles/hit brakes/hit throttle as seamlessly as our professional driver did. 

How to Plan Your Own Ferrari Driving Experience in Italy

So, we didn’t get to drive our own Ferrari, but the good news is that YOU CAN! In Italy, you can have Ferrari driving experiences in many places, including both on race tracks and on the road. Here’s all you need to know!

-At the Modena Race Track

If you’re visiting Modena, Bologna, or other towns around Emilia Romagna , the Modena race track will probably be the easiest place for you to plan a Ferrari driving experience. 

You have two options – going around the race track as a passenger, or driving yourself. 

As a passenger, the Ferrari test drive will cost you €130 per lap – we recommend a minimum of two laps, three if possible. Trust me, it’s FAST!

To drive yourself, the price depends on what car you choose, and how many laps you want to do – you can choose between 2 and 5, the first one as a passenger, and the rest behind the wheel.

Here are the prices:

-Ferrari 430 Challenge – 2 laps €440, 3 laps €540, 4 laps €640, 5 laps €700

-Ferrari 458 Challenge – 2 laps €690, 3 laps €750, 4 laps €870, 5 laps €950

-Ferrari 488 Challenge – 3 laps €775, 4 laps €905, 5 laps €990

You can also opt to drive a Lamborghini or the KTM – check here for prices and details , and don’t forget to book in advance!

-On Other Race Tracks

Ferrari driving experiences are on offer on other race tracks around Italy.

Another option near Modena is the Maranello race track , adjacent to the Ferrari Museum. You can book test drives of two different Ferrari models – the Ferrari 458 and Ferrari 488 Spider !

If you’re staying in Milan , the race track in Castelletto near Pavia also offers Ferrari driving experiences – find out more and book here!

-On the Road

Driving a Ferrari on a race track allows you to really enjoy these supercars without having to worry about traffic lights/other people on the road/speed limits, but if you want to pretend you’re on an Italian road trip in your own Ferrari, you can also hire one and drive it on the road!

The best place to head to, if you want to experience a Ferrari test drive, is Maranello, offering you the chance to try out different Ferrari models on a spin around town. This tour from Bologna includes transport, a tour of the Ferrari Museum and race track, and a Ferrari test drive. 

Our Ferrari Driving Experience was sponsored by Turismo Emilia Romagna as part of the Social Travel Summit conference. We would like to thank iAmbassador and Motor Valley for the wonderful experience.

Adrian Newey explains Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton rejection after Aston Martin move

Lewis Hamilton was keen for Adrian Newey to move with him to Ferrari, but the legendary F1 designer has instead chosen to become a shareholder and partner at Aston Martin

• 12:33, 10 Sep 2024

Adrian Newey said it was a "very clear and natural choice" for him to join Aston Martin despite approaches from multiple Formula 1 teams.

The celebrated F1 car designer was on Tuesday unveiled to media, including Mirror Sport , at Aston's new headquarters in Silverstone . He will begin work next March and will lead the team's technical operations as a managing partner of the company.

It has been clear for some time that Aston Martin was Newey 's most likely destination. But, initially, Ferrari were the favourites to secure his signature having tried several times in the past to poach him from Red Bull .

Lewis Hamilton , who heads to Italy next season, publicly asked Newey to join him, and there were also other teams interested in bringing Newey into the fold. But, as the 65-year-old explained at his unveiling, there was only one option that truly tempted him.

He said: "I was very flattered by the number of teams that did approach me. I had discussions with some of those teams - not all of them - but in the end it became a very clear and natural choice."

Given his age and the fact his cars have already won 25 titles across both the drivers' and constructors' championships, Newey has nothing to prove in F1 and retirement was floated as a real possibility when he announced his impending departure from Red Bull.

Asked how much thought he gave to walking away from the sport, Newey said he and his wife Amanda had decided his direction of travel together. He explained: "I decided to stop at Red Bull, which was really over the Suzuka weekend back in April. Then, genuinely I had no idea what would be next.

"I just wanted to have a blank mind, kind of take stock, enjoy this for a break, and was hoping that standing in the shower somewhere the spark would come that this should be the direction. Mandy was a big part of that as well, in our discussions and what should we do. I think she was worried that I'd probably drive her a bit mad if I was at home too much."

Newey will earn a guaranteed £20million per year with add-ons pushing his annual income closer to £30m. It is a massive contract for a car designer but billionaire team owner Lawrence Stroll did not bat an eyelid and insisted: "I can tell you, Adrian is a bargain.

"I've been in business for over 40 years now, and I've never been more certain. It's not an investment - he's a shareholder and a partner, so it's the best partner you can bring into a company. We intend to be around here a very long time together, so it's relatively inexpensive for everything Adrian brings to the partnership we work on."

Weekend   preview:   Ferrari   in   action   in   Germany,   Italy   and   the   United   States

Maranello 06 settembre 2024

The coming weekend will see Ferrari racing on circuits across Europe and America. In the United States, the GT World Challenge America will stage the sixth round of the season at Barber Motorsports Park, while in Italy, the Italian Gran Turismo Endurance Championship (at Imola) and the Ultimate Cup Series (Mugello) will be held. Finally, in Germany, the Sachsenring will host the sixth event of 2024.

GT WC America. Ferrari looks to continue its streak in SRO GT World Challenge America competition when AF Corse competes in this weekend’s races at Barber Motorsports Park. The Alabama visit marks the first visit to the pristine circuit in eight years for the SRO runners as the 2024 season heads into the final stages. Ozz Negri and Jay Schreibman won the Am class in the Sunday feature at Road America after taking second in the opener at their SRO debut, sharing the AF Corse No. 163 iMBranded Ferrari 296 GT3 in the two 90-minute races. The performance prompted the team to add the two remaining events to its schedule, and will run Barber and the Indianapolis finale.

“The original plan was to test our new Ferrari a few times and then run Road America and the Indy 8 Hour,” said Schreibman, 61 of Tacoma, Wash., a four-year veteran of Ferrari Challenge competition. “Obviously, we had some success and the series was good to us, so we added Barber. This will help us get ready for Indy when we will also have Toni Vilander. I’m looking forward to the race – Ozz tells me that Barber is the best of the best of the best.”

Negri raced prototypes in Grand-Am and the WeatherTech Championship from 2003 through 2018, mostly for Meyer Shank Racing.

“For me, running the Ferrari 296 GT3 at Barber is a brilliant surprise,” Negri said. “I get to drive this amazing 296 again, and at Barber, a great track. Let’s do it again!”

Veteran Vilander will join AF Corse in the SRO finale, the Indianapolis 8 Hour, on Saturday, Oct. 5. Vilander was also recently announced to drive in the IMSA season-ending Indianapolis Battle on the Bricks on Sept. 22 and Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta on Oct. 12. He will co-drive with Rasmus Lindh and Henrik Hedman in Dragonspeed’s new Ferrari 296 GT3.

DTM . From 6 to 8 September, the Sachsenring will host the sixth round in the chase for the DTM championship title. Racing over the 3.645 kilometres of the Saxony circuit will be the two Ferrari 296 GT3s of Emil Frey Racing: the number 14 of Jack Aitken, fresh from a fifth place in Race-1 at the Nürburgring, and the number 69 of Thierry Vermeulen, whose best result was a sixth place during the weekend of 17 and 18 August. The drivers will aim to improve their position in the standings, where Aitken currently holds ninth place and Vermeulen sits in fifteenth.

After Friday’s Free Practice sessions, Qualifying 1 will take place from 10.40 a.m. until 11.00 a.m. on Saturday, with Race-1 from 1.30 p.m. to 2.30 p.m. On Sunday, qualifying is set from 9.20 a.m. to 9.40 a.m., while Race-2 will run from 1.30 p.m. to 2.30 p.m.

CIGT . After the summer break, the Italian Gran Turismo Championship returns with the Endurance series, with the third round set to take place at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola. The top of the standings is hotly contested, with five crews separated by just seven points. Leading the pack is the crew of Giancarlo Fisichella, Arthur Leclerc, and Tommaso Mosca in the number 27 Ferrari 296 GT3 of Scuderia Baldini. In the GT3 Pro Am, another 296 GT3 holds the top spot, with the number 50 AF Corse crew of Riccardo Ponzio, Stefano Gai, and Mikkel Mac, winners of the last race at Mugello. In third is another AF Corse car, the number 51 488 GT3 Evo 2020 driven by Alessandro Bracalente and Eliseo Donno. In the GT3 Am, the number 75 Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo 2020 of Double TT Racing leads with Leonardo Colavita, Simone Riccitelli, and Christoph Ulrich.

In the GT Cup (reserved for single-marque cars), the Pro Am class will feature Luca Demarchi, Simone Patrinicola, and Sabatino Di Mare at the wheel of the number 111 Ferrari 488 Challenge Evo of Best Lap. The trio are second in the standings, just 10 points behind the leaders. Trailing by 23 points are Nicholas Risitano, Lyle Schofield, and Luca Attianese in the number 151 SR&R car, while just one point behind them are Alessio Bacci and Francesco La Mazza, who will share the number 103 Easy Race car with Emma Segattini at Imola. In the Am class, Giammarco Marzialetti and Pietro Agoglia, who lead the standings with 54 points, will be joined in the number 212 Best Lap Ferrari 488 Challenge Evo by Filippo Croccolino. Tied at the top of the standings with the Best Lap crew is the HC Racing Division team.

The Endurance series will get underway on Friday with two 50-minute free practice sessions. Saturday will feature the third free practice session at 9.15 a.m., followed by three qualifying sessions (from 5.15 p.m. to 6.40 p.m). The three-hour race will start on Sunday at 2.45 p.m.

Ultimate Cup Series . The Ultimate Cup Series heads to Italy, specifically to Mugello, for the fourth round of the season, where the number 1 Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo 2020 from the Visiom team will aim for a fourth consecutive victory in the GT Endurance Cup. Jean-Paul Pagny, Jean Bernard Bouvet, and David Hallyday have won all the previous races and will look to extend their winning streak.

In the GT Sprint Cup, where Ferrari cars often play leading roles, as was the case in the last round at Hockenheim, a number of Maranello cars will be on the entry list across various classes. In UCS1, SR&R will field the number 3 Ferrari 488 Challenge Evo with Francesco Atzori and ARAMIS, while in the UCS3 class, the same team will enter two more cars: the number 333 with Lourenço Monteiro and Walker Harrison, and the number 353 with Lyle Schofield and Francesco Coassin. Competing in the same class will be the number 73 Ferrari 488 Challenge Evo from CMR, driven by Patrick Michellier, and the number 91 from Racing Spirit of Leman with Frédéric Lacore. The Sprint series races are spread over two days: Race-1 is set for 6.05 p.m. on Friday, while Saturday will feature three more races, starting at 9.40 a.m., 1.25 p.m., and 5.55 p.m. (all races will last 25 minutes). The four-hour Endurance race will kick off at 10.20 a.m. on Sunday.
