These highly specialized courses provided by professional drivers develop participant's comprehensive understanding of advanced sport driving techniques.

From Ferrari to Porsche to Lamborghini's own Squadra Corse, a wide selection of driving academies are available by the world's most exclusive and prestigious automobile marquees.

Many of the driving academies are provided in a luxury experience package, inviting driving enthusiasts to bring partners or friends for the occasion.

Luxury features have included spa treatments, cooking classes and all the benefits that you would expect from five star hotels.

All you have to do is remember to bring your wallet; (a) for your driver's license and (b) for your credit card.
