    Anyone know a good driving school in France? There seem to be a lot of those "wait for four hours and do two laps in a Ferrari" type events. Not interested in that. I'm looking for something more serious - a full day or a couple of days.
    Thanks to anyone who can help out.

    PS - I don't have a Ferrari (yet) but am thinking of a second-hand 430 or 458 when the latter come down in price a bit. I have a Porsche and and Ariel Atom...

    Why not pop over the border and do the Ferrari Pilota course in Italy

    I'm not sure many other folk do anything similar ie single marque full day training - apart from Porsche at Silverstone

    That's too bad. I was searching for the ELF-Winfield schools and it appears they are gone.

    Not exactly a school, but you get to experience F3, F1 and even Group C race cars:

    I did a one day F1 experience with them at the former AGS track in Le Luc (near St. Tropez). I'm planning on doing another one with them next year.

    Their high end "class" is quite spectacular: Drive a F1 and a Group C Le Mans car at Le Castellet.

    Yes. Buy the Sport Auto magazine, they have tons of ads. There are Swiss companies that organize track days, bring cars etc. I did Magny Cours with F3/Formula Renault, Full day.
