    €8500 is ex-VAT (and 2020 price, it may increase for 2021), I believe in Europe the course will be sold by an in-country Ferrari dealer of the customer, who will pay the VAT in his home country (so buying in France would cost €10200 with 20% VAT, buying in Italy would cost €10370 with 22% VAT).
    Ferrari may also consider that US customers are wealthier and / or that having the cars shipped to and maintained in North America is more expensive than having them nearby the factory.

    2021 US prices are shown in the pasted attachment above. Sport course is approx. $15k. Appears to be the same cost as Euro after considering VAT plus euro to USD conversion.

    Local dealer is handling all arrangements........

    Daytona should be on everyone’s short list if you like speed.

    I've never done the F-car courses, but have done 12 AMG Driving Academies. They are an outstanding value with a ton of seat time, professional instruction, etc. Also considerably less expensive.

    The car inventory is interesting. My Sport course last year had a mix of GTBs, 812, and Pista. Looks like they consolidated into F8’s and 812.
    I had heard the SF90 would be on deck for this year, appears not. And no Laguna Seca, so I may have to wait another year to move up.

    It’s the best way you will ever get to appreciate your brilliant Ferrari. It’s so so professional. My trip was to Fiorano with great instructors and wonderful dinners in the famous local restaurants too. Sat in Mr Ferrari’s office and absorbed the whole incredible atmosphere. When you consider that every one of the 13 cars (for 24 pupils) needed new tyres plus the wear and tear on the cars it’s actually really pretty good value. Every owner should be made to go!

    Does the Indy course just drive around the oval? That doesn't seem too good.

    Lol. No, most tracks have a road course as well. Here is what it looks like for Indy. http://indymotorspeedway.com/500maps.html

    Andy, that's great news! Don't drive the car(s) I used. I'll leave a little red x on the passenger side windshield - if you see it, request another car.....

    Just signed my wife up for the Sport course at the Concours Club in Miami in November. There are a number of others that are trying to do the same if interested. Would be fun if we could get a big group of spouses to participate.

    Does anyone know which track configuration they will use for the Sport course (assume it will be the same for Advanced) based on the 2020 setup?
