The FCA does have driving schools at its track events, they are run by the FCA not FNA |

Barbar Track, e.g., Babar the Elephant. Never mind, just tired of writing this brief and getting a little goofy. |

Tommy I am really not sure exactly what the cost is however you are looking in the $5000+ range for 2 days. As far as wait goes, you are looking at over a year. I was slated to teach there a few years back but a little political snag kept me from working for Ferrari at that time. |

How much does that Pilota school cost and what kind of wait is there? |

No there isn't but I for one really really wish there was - I live 10 miles from the Barbar Track here in Alabama. |

There is not one in the US however many dealers as well as many chapters of the Ferrari Club of America organize schools where you drive your own car on the track with an experienced driving instructor sitting beside you to coach you along. If you want the factory driving school, you will have to go to Italy for the 'Pilota' school. It is expensive and there are huge waiting lists. |

Is there a Ferrari driving school, like the Porsche driving school in Almbama run by PCNA? |
