    These are great events ... for those looking to hit the track in July as well, may I also suggest the Ferrari Club of America's Canada East Region annual High-Performance Driver Education event at historic Canadian Tire Motorsports Park.

    Don’t miss out on the opportunity to drive your car, at speeds for which they were designed, in a controlled and safe manner. It's not too far of a drive from Empire State Region and is always a great time.

    Join us at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park (formerly Mosport) for a day of fun and camaraderie, while learning to get the most out of your car. Through a club exemption, this event is open to all Ferrari and Maserati vehicles (active membership in the Ferrari Club of America is not required) and drivers of ALL skill levels.

    Please note that this is NOT a racing event. All cars on-track operate under strict "rules of engagement" which minimize the likelihood of dangerous encounters with other cars.

    This event includes mandatory classroom sessions, as well as a on-track sessions to make for a very engaging day. All Registrants will receive expert, personalized, one-on-one instruction, feedback and evaluation throughout the day (optional for those qualified to run solo), as well as lunch and beverages.

    Don’t miss out on the opportunity to drive your car, at speeds for which they were designed, in a controlled and safe manner.
