ENZO AND DINO FERRARI IMOLA RACETRACK
Puresport is honoured to present its clients with the opportunity to drive a sports car, such as the Ferrari F430, Lamborghini Gallardo, Ferrari 458 Italia or single-seater cars, on the legendary Enzo and Dino Ferrari racetrack. This racetrack is commonly known as the Imola racetrack and is located a few kilometres from Bologna and from the most important roads in Central-Northern Italy - it has good links and will therefore enable you to experience driving a GT or a single-seater car, all in one single day
DRIVING A FERRARI, LAMBORGHINI OR A SINGLE-SEATER CAR AT THE IMOLA RACETRACK
Imola’s racetrack - one of the few with an anti-clockwise driving direction - is a legend in the world of speed for both F1 and for motorcycle racing: just think that it hosted champions like Michael Schumacher, the current record-holder on this track, as well as Superbike World Championship races.
Driving our Ferraris, Lamborghinis or single-seater cars on Imola’s asphalt will make you feel like a real driver, thanks to the professionalism and expertise of Puresport trainers.
