Essential experience in Maranello - The experience was incredible. For a Ferrari fan, there is no price to pay to be in Maranello and breathe Ferrari. The model I booked was not available at the time of my arrival, but the team tried to compensate me in the best way possible. The staff is extremely kind, every single one of them. They even got in touch asking me to go in the morning because it would rain in the afternoon and that could put safety at risk. Perhaps it would not be possible to carry out the test drive because of the rain, so taking care to get in touch and let us know was essential. We walked in a very charming region, in the mountains, from where it was possible to see the entire valley. I missed a less busy area and a wider road so I could really put my foot down, which wasn't possible for most of the trip due to traffic. Perhaps the route could be revised. My instructor was a great person, very polite, intelligent and his company made the experience much better. All with extreme respect from the entire team. Being a woman traveling alone, doing car tourism and receiving all this cordiality and respect is fundamental, it puts the company on a higher level. Certainly, being in Maranello, it is an essential experience to have. It was a really fantastic morning.

DONT DREAM IT, DO IT! - I came here for the thrill of a lifetime, to drive a Ferrari in Italy! I'd carefully read all the reviews and the compared the competition before choosing pitlane red passion....and I'm so glad I did!
From the moment you arrive ist a sea of Red. The passion is everywhere., The team were very accommodating and I got the 488 mid-engine spider I wanted…in red of course! I chose the 30 min trip which took in “the surrounding mountain roads” which was a bit of an exaggeration, but was ideal to get the noise, power and thrill of driving a Ferrari.
Your "co-pilot" really pushes you and allows you to use the power at every opportunity. He knows the roads so you don’t have to worry about the bends etc and can really enjoy the car. Its not high speed, as its on public roads, mostly around the industrial area of Modena, passing the Ferrari factories, but it gives you feeling of what’s it’s like to drive, with the wind in your hair and that gorgeous noise in your ears!
If I was to do it again I’d add on the track option. Buy the video so you relive the bumpy Italian roads and scenery! This was a Fabulous experience of a lifetime, so don't dream it, do it!

Incredible experience - We booked a drive at Pit Lane. Upon arrival ladies at the reception were incredibly friendly.
When test driving a driver comes with you to give you directions to drive on the road.
The driver who came with me was Maurizio. He was excellent and truly contributed to my driving experience.
Driving the Ferrari felt absolutely fantastic and was such a wonderful experience.
This made our stay at maranello. Highly recommend this driving experience at pit lane.
My husband and father also did the driving simulator
What a wonderful day!

Road and Race Track 458 Test Drive - Simply Awesome Experience! Having the 20-25 minute drive to the Modena Autodrome (Track) from the Pit Lane offices gives one some time to become accustomed to this amazing handling car. There are a few points along the road to the track where one can check out the acceleration to about 100 MPH (160 kmh) and get a feel for the braking capabilities. Giant all ceramic disc brakes are a part of the 458 package. Although I have owned some pretty fast cars like a M635 and the 12 cylinder 750i and drove them aggressively on highways and on a couple of California race tracks with Auto Club events, this was a whole new level of acceleration and handling. The staff at Pit Lane (Maria) was very helpful and answered all email and phone calls very efficiently. If you plan to do the track (was my biggest interest), they do need to get advance approvals as there are other events or cars reserving it, so keep you schedule open for a day or two or more when reserving, The 360 degree video supplied of the entire time in the car lets you share and relive all the moments when you are back home. My only disappointment was I should have reserved more track time as an extra 10 laps would have been well worth the small added expense. Next time!

Awesome - Great experience! The staff was very polite and professional. The drive itself was more than I expected, amazing automobiles. Well worth the money. While you are in Maranello you have to do this and then go eat at La Gazelle to cap off a great day.

Ferrari Road&Track - Awesome Experience - What an amazing experience driving a Ferrari for the first time. The Pit Lane staff are very friendly. We received a warm welcome on arrival. The instructor was brilliant!! Very calm and guides you through the driving experience.
That being said, if you're thinking of selecting the track experience with the idea of driving the car at very high speeds think again. The track, albeit a lot of fun, has many corners and the straights are rather short. Still a great experience, you can really experience the car's handling, but I only managed to get up to around 190 Km/h (should add that this was only my 2nd time on a track). Better drivers will be able to achieve higher speeds.
