The events are not races, but are designed to enhance the driving skills of participating Ferraristi with every car equipped with telemetry devices to record lap times. The members-only experience will be overseen by Ferrari instructors across the track days, as drivers will get to learn the finer skills of racing in a safe and nurturing environment where they are pitched against the clock and themselves, as opposed to other competitors.
