The course contents have been developed and have evolved over time with continuity, professionalism and attention to Ferrari customer expectations, developing a driver teaching methodology which is ever more refined and detailed, made complete with the most modern technologies in the field and aligned with the technological evolution of the Ferrari models. The Pilota Ferrari course, exclusively available to customers, provides the opportunity to attend various and successive course levels, offering content which is increasingly technical and complex, delivered at the perfect pace, to be tackled using the experience, sensitivity and driving technique acquired in previous courses.

PARTECIPARE AI CORSI Un percorso di crescita progressivo su più livelli Vetture con prestazioni estreme, gare automobilistiche e lo sviluppo di piloti fanno parte dell’essenza della Ferrari. Prendere parte ai corsi di guida Pilota Ferrari significa perciò essere formati dalle persone più competenti a farlo. I piloti-istruttori, professionisti dalla lunga esperienza al volante delle auto della Ferrari, sono in grado di accompagnare l’allievo dal corso sport a quelli più evoluti. La dinamica di questa progressione d’insegnamento è didatticamente integrata e permette di seguire corsi successivi fino a raggiungere un livello “racing”, con la possibilità di proseguire nella serie Ferrari challenge. Allo stesso tempo l’insegnamento è totalmente personalizzato, per fare in modo che l’allievo arrivi a sfruttare al massimo le formidabili prestazioni delle vetture Ferrari. Di fondamentale importanza quindi la selezione e la preparazione dei modelli messi a disposizione dall’organizzazione a Fiorano. Un parco auto costituito da sei 458 Italia, tre 458 Speciale, quattro F12berlinetta e cinque 458 Challenge permette di mettere nelle condizioni ideali i protagonisti dei corsi, trasformando questo programma in un’esperienza unica. 8 2.

The didactically integrated learning path of Pilota Ferrari sports driving courses lets you progress through a succession of levels right up to “racing” level. At this point, if you wish, you can enter the Ferrari Challenge series. At the same time, teaching is totally personalized, so that students can be sure of learning how to make full use of the amazing performance that Ferrari cars offer. The selection and preparation of the Ferrari cars made available for students to drive on the Fiorano track is therefore of fundamental importance. The fleet consists of six 458 Italia, three 458 Speciale, four F12berlinetta and five 458 Challenge. These models provide course participants with the ideal learning opportunity, as well as the ultimate driving experience. 9 3.

Nei due giorni di corso viene sviluppato un coinvolgente programma specifico, caratterizzato da una metodologia didattica esclusiva e personalizzata, su vetture Ferrari, in pista e negli esercizi di controllo vettura. 28 clienti divisi in 4 gruppi di 7 partecipanti ciascuno, sono dinamicamente coinvolti nella acquisizione della più efficace posizione di guida in abitacolo, nella gestione progressiva dei comandi della vettura, nella precisione di impostazione delle traiettorie in curva, nelle tecniche di frenata ed accelerazione, completando la didattica con coinvolgenti esercizi di controllo della vettura anche in sovrasterzo di potenza. Un’opportunità eccellente anche per conoscere le effettive prestazioni dei modelli Ferrari grazie al programma che permette di provare i vari set up elettronici di controllo della vettura. A completamento della formazione pratica, il programma include alcuni momenti di teoria in aula per approfondire la tecnica di guida e l’analisi del comportamento della vettura. 10 11 12 3. SPORTS DRIVING COURSE In the driving seat: the first step towards competitive driving The Pilota Ferrari course offers a complete, progressive program focused on giving participants a comprehensive understanding of sport driving techniques. The course consists of a specific and exciting two-day training program based on an exclusive, personalized teaching method, using Ferrari cars for track work and vehicle control exercises. Twenty-eight customers are divided into four groups of seven participants each and receive direct, engaging instruction on the most efficient driving position in the cockpit, progressive accelerator and brake control, establishing precise driving lines through bends and braking and acceleration techniques. Teaching leads up to thrilling car control exercises that include conditions of power over steer. The course also provides a great opportunity for getting familiar with the actual performance of various Ferrari models thanks to a program that lets you experience different electronic vehicle control setups. The practical instruction is completed by several theory sessions aimed at giving a more in-depth insight into driving technique and helping drivers analyse vehicle behaviour. 13 4. CORSO AVANZATO L’approfondimento della guida veloce e del controllo vettura Per quei clienti che hanno già partecipato al corso sport, apprendendo le tecniche fondamentali di pilotaggio, la Ferrari offre la possibilità di effettuare uno stage di approfondimento. Il corso Avanzato prevede 20 partecipanti, suddivisi in 4 gruppi da 5 persone ciascuno. Per i partecipanti è previsto un uso intensivo e specialistico delle vetture Ferrari, nozioni avanzate di guida veloce e di controllo vettura, il tutto nella massima continuità di esercizio e nella consueta sicurezza. L’approfondimento offerto dal corso Avanzato coinvolge anche alcune sessioni di teoria e prevede una didattica altamente personalizzata secondo le attitudini tecniche e stili di guida di ogni partecipante, grazie all’utilizzo continuativo del sistema di acquisizione dati in vettura (telemetria). A partire da questo livello di corso i partecipanti acquisiscono la consapevolezza delle proprie performance alla guida, cimentandosi anche in prove dinamiche di abilità, che verranno sviluppate maggiormente nel successivo Corso Evoluzione. 14 15 16 4. ADVANCED COURSE Further instruction on high-speed driving and vehicle control For customers who have already completed the Sport Course and grasped the basic driving techniques, Ferrari offers this second, more advanced program. The Advanced Course admits twenty participants, divided into four groups of five each.

As always, the emphasis is on continuity in practice and safety. The Advanced Course also involves several theory sessions that can be individually tailored to suit the technical aptitude and driving style of each participant, thanks to the continuous use of the in-car data acquisition system (telemetry). Starting from this level of course, participants learn to analyse their own performance behind the wheel, including through dynamic skill trials. This is elaborated upon in the follow-on Evolution Course. 17 5. CORSO EVOLUZIONE Il primato della tecnica, l’emozione della pista: l’esaltazione della performance sportiva Suddivisi in 4 gruppi di 4 partecipanti ciascuno i clienti possono vivere l’esperienza della loro partecipazione al corso Evoluzione, integrando le tecniche di guida di una Ferrari stradale con le sensazioni uniche ed entusiasmanti che si possono provare al volante di vetture racing 458 Challenge. Tecniche ed emozioni sono valorizzate da analisi telemetriche approfondite, basate anche sull’uso di vetture e pneumatici da competizione; il tutto corredato da didattica estremamente personalizzata e votata al miglioramento dettagliato della tecnica e della prestazione personale di guida di ogni singolo allievo, sempre grazie all’ausilio intensivo dei sistemi di acquisizione dati. L’obiettivo principale è infatti la naturale “evoluzione” del corso Pilota Ferrari: sviluppo dei contenuti di sportività per la guida di tutti i giorni attraverso un’attività di pista ad alto livello, dove misurare le performance delle Ferrari stradali, le performance racing della 458 Challenge ed anche i propri limiti personali attraverso prove dinamiche di abilità. 18 19 20 5. EVOLUTION COURSE Technical excellence and on-track thrills: the emotion of sports performance The Evolution Course divides participants into four groups of four and offers them the opportunity to develop their on-road Ferrari driving skills while experiencing the unique thrill of driving a 458 Challenge race car. Driving techniques and excitement are enhanced by in-depth telemetric analysis, also based on the use of competition cars and tyres. What’s more, a highly personalized teaching approach is dedicated to improving the technique and personal performance of each participant in every detail. Again, this is thanks to intensive use of data acquisition systems. As its name suggests, the Evolution Course is the natural “evolution” of the Pilota Ferrari course. By means of dynamic skill trials, the course helps drivers adapt sports driving techniques to day-to-day situations in advanced track sessions during which they discover the performance of road-going Ferraris and that of the 458 Challenge race car, plus their own personal limits. 21 6.

CORSO PILOTA IN USA Austin, Mt. Tremblant & Aspen Il Corso Pilota Ferrari è un esclusivo corso di due giorni, riservato a clienti Ferrari e ad un selezionato numero di ospiti, basato sul programma “Corso Pilota” disponibile a Maranello. Iniziato nel 2006, il corso consente ai clienti di apprezzare le doti dinamiche e le performance delle vetture Ferrari attualmente disponibili, su due dei circuiti più importanti del Nord America, Mont Tremblant in Canada ed Austin in Texas. Il nuovissimo circuito di Austin, con i suoi 5.5 km e oltre 40 m di dislivello, consente ai clienti di provare le emozioni di guida sull’ unico tracciato degli Stati Uniti certificato per ospitare il campionato di F1. Il circuito di Mont-Tremblant, situato nel cuore delle Laurentian Mountains, è il luogo ideale per un corso di guida. I suoi oltre 4 km combinano lo splendido paesaggio con una serie di dislivelli naturali, per tutta la lunghezza del tracciato. Durante i due giorni di corso gli studenti, seguiti da un team di piloti professionisti, impareranno come portare la frenata al limite, come gestire il trasferimento del peso vettura e l’accelerazione, individuare la linea di guida ideale e scopriranno i limiti di aderenza delle vetture sia in condizioni di bagnato che di asciutto. Sebbene all’interno di un circuito, il Corso Pilota Ferrai non è una racing school. L’obiettivo principale è quello di imparare a guidare e controllare la potenza delle vetture per poterle gestire al meglio e in sicurezza in situazioni di guida impegnative, con un maggiore senso di consapevolezza e maggiore precisione. Situata a meno di un’ora di volo da Aspen in Colorado, Steamboat Spring ospita il tracciato appositamente preparato per il corso Ferrari. Sotto la supervisione di piloti ed istruttori, alla guida di una flotta di FF, i clienti potranno sperimentare l’innovativo sistema 4WD ed apprezzarne la facilita di guida e di gestione vettura su neve e ghiaccio. 46 12. CORSO PILOTA USA Austin, Mt. Tremblant and Aspen Now available at two premium tracks in North America, Ferrari Corso Pilota is an exclusive two- day precision driving school that allows Ferrari Owners and special guests to experience the performance of a Ferrari in the controlled environment of a race track. Offered since 2006 in Mt. Tremblant Canada and now in Austin, Texas, these courses are based on the Corso Pilota programs available in Italy. The new course in Austin will allow participants to experience the thrill of this state-of-theart, 3.4- mile circuit track that offers 133 feet of elevation change. It not only hosts the most prestigious racing events in the world, it is the only F1A-certified grade track in the U.S. Located in the heart of the Laurentian Mountains, Le Circuit Mont-Tremblant is an ideal setting for a driving school. The 2.65-mile track combines the natural topography of the site with elevation changes from the start/finish line to corner-8 and back. During the two-day program, participants will learn from a host of current and former professional racers in techniques such as threshold braking, weight transfer, managing acceleration, identifying the ideal driving line on track and discovering the limits of vehicle adhesion in both wet and dry driving situations. Although the setting is a race track, Ferrari Corso Pilota is not a racing school. The focus is on learning to drive and control a Ferrari properly and to understand and communicate with the vehicle. Graduates are then better prepared to face challenging driving situations with an enhanced sense of awareness and greater precision. Located within a short one hour air flight from Aspen, Ferrari has a dedicated snow-and- ice track in Steamboat Springs, CO.

The Challenge Driver School offers drivers the opportunity to condense the technical content necessary to drive the Challenge model appropriately and safely into a single course, if participants have not previously attended the Evolution Driver Course, a requisite for taking part in the Challenge Driver Course. The course comprises an initial day of practical sessions on 458 Italia, 458 Speciale including: telemetry analysis of performance on the track, use of a pace-car, finding the car’s limits in cornering and optimising overall driving performance, also with chronometric analysis. Starting from the second day, the track driving activity develops with the integrated, then intensive use of the Challenge model, with a progression of content based on the improvement of driving technique and performance, concluding with the standard Challenge Course program. The practice of the third day hinges on timed track driving sessions, to allow participants to acquire basic racing concepts, like starting and overtaking techniques, and learn the procedures for the various stages of a race, car set-up methods plus race rules and regulations for the Challenge Championship. At the end of the course, participants can also sit the test for driving cars of over 2000 cc required by the Italian National Sports Federation to compete in Ferrari Challenge races. Course dates The course lasts three days and takes place over the following dates: 20/21/22 May, 8/9/10 July, 14/15/16 October. Participants A minimum of seven and a maximum of ten participants who have already taken the Advanced Course are admitted. Instructors and cars The course is delivered by six driver-instructors with extensive race driving course experience. Three 458 Italia, three 458 Speciale and five 458 Challenge will be used. Fee The participation fee is 27,300 euros (excluding VAT). This includes three days at the track, transfers, three evening meals, a three night’s accomodation at the Grand Hotel de la Ville ***** in Parma, lunches at the track and personalized Pilota Ferrari Course gifts. Each participant may be accompanied by one or more companions, who will be given the opportunity to take part in a special guest program. The fee per companion is 1,500 euros (excluding VAT) and includes the following activities: cooking lessons, city of Parma tour and SPA treatment. On request, participants may also take the test for the ACI-ACI-CSAI licence to race cars of over 2000 cc. There is an additional cost of 600.00 Euros (VAT excluded) for this test. Italian customers who already hold an Italian International C Class licence will be entitled to enter the Ferrari Challenge once they obtain the ACI-ACI-CSAI licence. By taking and passing the ACI-ACI-CSAI test for cars over 2000 cc, customers from other countries in the European Union and Italian customers who do not already hold the Italian International C Class licence will automatically qualify for one and may obtain their licence at an additional cost of 400.00 Euros (VAT excluded). Customers from countries outside the European Union who pass the ACI-CSAI test for cars over 2000 cc may obtain an Italian International C Class licence only provided the Automobile Club or body responsible for race driver licensing in their own country is willing to provide the ACI-CSAI with a declaration recognising the validity of the Italian licence. The additional cost for such customers remains 400.00 Euros (VAT excluded). All customers intending to take the test must present a medical certificate demonstrating their fitness for motor racing.
