This Ferrari driving experience puts you in the F8 Tributo for two full days on a Grand Prix circuit in Europe, with the circuit closed to everyone but 15 drivers. A mid-engined V8, light and quick to respond. It rewards precise braking and a calm right foot.
In short: Ferrari F8 Tributo, 720 PS, two days on a private Grand Prix circuit, a coach in the car, three nights included.
The F8 Tributo in figures
| Engine | 3.9-litre V8 twin-turbo, mid-mounted |
| Power | 720 PS |
| Weight | 1,330 kg |
| 0 to 100 km/h | 2.9 seconds |
| 0 to 200 km/h | 7.8 seconds |
| Top speed | 340 km/h |
Power and weight: Stratos car facts. Acceleration and top speed: Ferrari official specifications (770 Nm, 0 to 200 km/h 7.8 s, dry weight 1,330 kg with lightweight options).
What it is like on track
The F8 is the most agile of the three Stratos cars. The engine sits behind you, so the car turns in sharply and rotates under braking. The turbo V8 delivers its power in a wave from low revs, so smooth throttle on corner exit matters more than in the Porsche. Most drivers find it the most playful car of the three, and the one that teaches the most about weight transfer.
The F8 on a Grand Prix circuit
At Misano or the Hungaroring, where corners come one after another, the F8's low weight lets it change direction quickly. On longer straights the turbo V8 pulls hard to the next braking zone. The coach works on smooth inputs first, because the car reacts to everything you do.
Ferrari driving experience options compared

How the two days work
Day one starts with a briefing and a seat fitting, then short sessions to learn the lap with your coach. Each session ends with a debrief and a look at the data. Day two is longer sessions and building pace, one corner at a time. Two full days on track, sessions spread through each day.
What you take home
Professional photo and video from both days, and the lap data from your sessions so you can see how your driving changed. Most of all, the confidence to drive a fast car well.
