    I know there is but I do not have any info. I saw it in a car magazine last month I believe. They use F355's.

    easiest way how to learn how to drive a ferrari is to go to a track event and lap with an instructor a few times, then have an instructor with you while your driving. You'll learn on Your car :)

    Or you can skip the middle man and you can go with an instructor on the Turnpike. Bring a helmet and a change of pants. You'll know why when it happens.

    Ok, so if you search for Ferrari Driving School and New York in Google, this comes up:

    Ferrari Driving School Inc.
    32 Steinway Street
    Astoria, NY 11103-3611

    718-278-6679

    WTF?

    This is interesting that this comes up. The school in the mid-seventies thru the early eighties was located on the corner of Northern Blvd and Main Street in Flushing, NY. It was next door to a magazine store that I always would buy my Road & Track magazines from while I waited for the bus to take me to high school.

    One of the first R&Ts I ever bought was the issue where Bondurant did a preview test of the glass-bodied 308GTB-and I was hooked big time...

    Interestingly enough, R&T used to have on the last page of the mag a car related picture or item. In one issue, late 70s I believe, they had a picture of a Daytona outside the very same Ferrari Driving School.....

    I wonder what would happen if I pointed someone from the marketing group at Ferrari to the Ferrari Driving School?
