Track driving experiences in Emilia Romagna: how to book and how much it costs
Emilia Romagna is not just Food Valley: it is also Motor Valley, the land of Ferrari, Lamborghini, Ducati, Pagani and Dallara. Here, a passion for motors is not just a hobby, but part of the regional identity.
Between Imola, Modena, Misano and Parma, you can enjoy a unique experience: driving a supercar on the track, accompanied by professional instructors, on circuits that have made motorsport history.
Where to enjoy a track driving experience in Emilia Romagna
The region is home to some of Italy’s most important racetracks.
Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari – Imola
One of the most iconic tracks in the world, hosting Formula 1 races and international competitions. Track days and supercar driving packages are organised here.
Modena Racetrack
Located in the heart of Motor Valley, it is widely used for Ferrari and Lamborghini experiences. It offers short but intense sessions, ideal even for those who are new to the experience.
Misano World Circuit – Marco Simoncelli
Perfect for both cars and motorcycles. It is one of the most popular circuits for sports driving experiences in Northern Italy.
Varano de’ Melegari (Riccardo Paletti Autodrome)
Near Parma, it is a technical and accessible track, often chosen for personalised and less crowded experiences.
How to book a track experience
Booking is easier than you think. There are several ways to do so:
1. Through specialised companies
Numerous companies organise complete packages that include:
• Initial briefing
• Insurance
• Professional instructor
• Supercar track laps
• Final certificate
Bookings are made online by choosing the circuit, car and date.
2. Directly with the racetrack
Some circuits allow you to book track days with your own car or through official partners.
3. Gift packages
Many experiences can be purchased as gift vouchers, valid for 6-12 months.
Do you need experience to drive on the track?
No, in most cases no professional experience is required.
Before entering the track, there is a mandatory technical briefing where the following are explained:
• Safety rules
• Ideal trajectory lines
• Flag signals
• Cornering behaviour
An instructor is always present in the car in the passenger seat, ready to provide real-time guidance.
What to bring and requirements
To participate, you must have:
• A valid driving licence
• Identification
• Comfortable clothing (closed shoes are mandatory)
Helmets and insurance are generally included in the package.
Single experience or luxury package?
Motor Valley also offers high-end packages that combine:
• Track experience
• Private tour of Ferrari or Lamborghini museums
• Stay in a boutique hotel
• Gourmet dinner in Food Valley
This formula is very popular in international luxury tourism, where motors and gastronomy come together in a single exclusive experience.
When to book: best time
The ideal season is from March to October. The spring and autumn months offer better temperatures and greater availability.
Weekends are busier, so it is advisable to book in advance, especially for circuits such as Imola or Misano.
Why choose Emilia Romagna for a track experience?
Driving a supercar on a track is possible in various parts of Italy, but doing so in Emilia Romagna has a different meaning.
Here you are in the land where these cars are born. After driving a Ferrari or a Lamborghini, you can visit the factories, museums and design centres. It is a complete immersion in motor culture.
Motor Valley is not just a place where you drive fast. It is a region where a passion for motors is part of the history.
