Imola Autodromo Supercar Driving Experience

The Imola supercar driving experience takes place at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, at Piazza Ayrton Senna da Silva 1 in Imola, about 35 kilometres from Bologna in Emilia-Romagna. The 4.909-kilometre circuit hosted the San Marino and Emilia-Romagna Formula 1 Grands Prix and is known for corners such as Tamburello and Rivazza. Several operators, including Freedome and the circuit's own experience programme at autodromoimola.it, sell short driving or co-driver packages in cars such as the Ferrari 458, Ferrari 488 GTB, Lamborghini and McLaren Artura. Packages last about two hours in total, with a limited number of laps behind the wheel that varies by package. Prices start from about EUR 141 for a general sports drive, around EUR 165 for a Ferrari 458 or Lamborghini, and about EUR 185 for a Ferrari 488 GTB or McLaren Artura. Drivers need a valid driving licence and identity document, and the exact age and licence requirements should be confirmed with the operator. No racing experience is required, though participants should be comfortable driving a high-powered car; those who prefer not to drive can usually choose a passenger or co-driver option. A helmet and a briefing are provided, and drivers bring flat-soled closed shoes and comfortable clothing. The briefing covers flags, the racing line, braking points and the rules of the session, and an instructor typically rides along or leads the cars. Circuit marshals and track medical services provide the safety and rescue cover normal for a motorsport venue. The experience runs year-round, subject to the track calendar, race events and weather, and April to October gives the most reliable dry conditions. Rain, cold mornings and days when the circuit is closed for racing or testing are better avoided, so visitors should check availability before travelling from Bologna by train or car.
