I did this course a few years ago in the 812 and 488, it was a great experience.
I see one of the instructors Sam was there that taught me.
GAS-GAS-GAS says Ferdinando, love him. He told me once my brain was dead and as a surgeon I hardly every hear that! Love it, the courses are fantastic and the crew wonderful to be around.
Christopher Johnson pretty sure physicians would say that about many a surgeon 😬
That's 10 out of 10 for content.
Magnificent!
Thank you, Duncan. I wasn’t sure if people would like this one
I learned that brake and gas technique in PC games, long before i bought and drove a car. But for real car, of course it's totally different especially a ferrari. I hope i can drive one in the future..
@@TheCarGuysTV No, we loved it!
This is the type of new and interesting content only you guys could have brought!
Thank you so much, it was interesting and entertaining at the same time. :)
Thanks, Smeggy
My instructor (not Ferrari ) introduced me to 'lift off oversteer.' How most people go backwards through hedges,when new to a seriously powerful car.His catchphrase was learn and live👍
Fantastic! Everyone watching your channel will want to do this!
Love it
Years ago and the only time I drove a sports car was in an Aston Martin in a race track getting tuition on how to drive such a fast car.
Frightening and exciting bearing in mind I arrived there with family n a Ford C-Max.
The instructor even asked do you drive a people carrier?
Yes why
Cause your braking half a mile back from the corner
🤣🤪
But what you just did Damien was amazing to get tuition at the holy grail that’s Ferrari
Awesome Video. That's certainly on the bucket list items!
Does life get any better than this? This looks amazing and great to see Ferrari teaching owners to explore the potential of their cars safely. Everything about this video was bang on. Car stuff, commentary, the instructor voice over. Just the right mix to inform and entertain. But also about as close as I will ever get. Thanks.
Brillaint content! Thanks for sharing. Well done mate.
Damian, you're on another level! You are so in with Ferrari, I love it!
Great insight. Thanks very much for letting us all in.
Loved this. Especially the part about how much car time there is and over a 2 day span.
Thanks for bringing us along on your shopping tour. Enjoyed it!
You’re welcome
I thoroughly enjoyed this! Thank you for taking the time to put this video together for us.
You’re welcome, Lance
Really cool video and experience.
Over 20 years ago my work colleague gave me a lift. It turns out he was a rally car driver. I was amazed at how he drove and yes, positioning before and the after a corner was everything
Great video from you! It is not something I am ever likely to be able to do so really nice to get a glimpse of what it’s all about.
From the footage it is clear you are at the very top level of driving performance. #lightspeedagogo 😃
Really fantastic video! Glad to see Ferrari let you film this! Thanks for bringing us this - it's a unique insight. No one else is doing this kind of stuff.
Thanks
Best channel on RUclips by far for me. Living the dream Damian, only hoping I can do this when im older.
👍👍👍👍
Great vidpeo .Thanks for sharing.
A dream experience, thanks for sharing this Damian, the instructor sounded impressed with your driving !
They were seriously great - and every one a front runner in motorsport
Great two days, we had. Nice video, Frank 👍
Thank you so much for your great videos. This one was especially interesting for its content.. Bravissimi!!
Spyros Magliveras Thank you very much 👍👍
Nice Damian, this is different and I enjoyed this content :-)
Great video Damian. Really enjoyable to watch in car plus telemetry. You were obviously listening to your instructors. It’s a great feeling when you nail a corner right.
The thing that rang true the loudest was taking a humility pill before you get behind the wheel. However good you think you are, racing probably isn’t your full time job, so there’ll always be lots to learn from a professional.
And being prepared to unlearn what you think is right is the most important of all. Having benefitted from all 4 levels of California Superbike School tuition I had to cast aside a lot of assumptions and let my self-taught technique be disassembled and then put back together again - it was revelatory and has benefitted my riding and driving on track and road immeasurably.
Learning to be a better driver/rider is always a good investment.
Keep em coming. Cheers.
Awesome to hear, cheers S
A thrill a minute. Thanks for taking us along Damian.
You’re welcome, Peter
This is amazing. I love it. Great content as always.
Awesome video Damian. Thanks for sharing a excellent experience with varied aspects and perspectives on the Pilot a Race Car at Fiorano.👍👍👍
Thanks, Anthony - glad you enjoyed it
Look at the instructors. Slim, physically and focused, psychologically. That's how you get to be the best in this game.
I've done laps in supercars and the best experience is not releasing the acceleration out of a wide corner and finding you're still on the track with the instructor overjoyed you did it. It's all about pushing your own limits and if you're lucky to get good, the cars.
Get out and do the lap experience days with qualified racing drivers to get a taste of what track driving is all about. Everyone can afford that even if it's just a one off treat.
Another fantastic, informative video. Really like Damian how you take us all with you behind the scenes and share your experiences. Definitely one of the best YT car channels. Especially when talking Ferrari. Nice one ! 💪🏼
Thank you very much
Thank you so much for these exclusive looks right inside the myth. I enjoy every single second of your videos. Drive healthy, forza Damian & forza Ferrari!
Grazie
Fantastic opportunity and thanks for taking us along.
Any decent track course would teach you the same techniques, at a fraction of the price. So there is no excuse for anyone to find the nearest one and join!
These courses are the best to become a better driver not only on track, but on the road as well. They are also a humbling experience.
Never heard of this until now and you have taken us along for the experience!! Learnt lots from this and would love to get a place on one of the courses....your work is really appreciated!!
Thank you, Alan
Often said, very true, the best car mod is driver training. Thanks for sharing, this is awesome.
This was such a great episode, I really enjoyed seeing how things work at one of these courses, such a great insights, thanks!!
You're welcome
Thanks that was a super video. You really succeeded in getting over the enjoyment and sense of achievement in such a special environment.
Fantastic, thanks
Looks great, will definitely do it.Thanks a million 👍
A bit of heaven right there. If I could ever afford that it would be a lifelong ambition .. thanks for even making e aware of this Damian!
It would be fascinating to see your first ever lap and your last lap to see the improvement as you got dialled in. Surprised you don’t have your times!!?
On the watch front I am so pleased you have a Grand Seiko !! Is it the spring drive?
More of this! A very unique insight.
What a dream this program is! Driving on Fiorano...wow. Thank you for a great video.
Cheers, Horatio
Great insight. Not done the Ferrari courses. Thanks.
Great video
First channel to show me the stuff I really wanna see !!!
Thanks, Rich
Spot on Damian, great insider peek into what many of us will never experience. Cheers, Chris
Glad you liked it, Chris
Your channel just gets better and better - really appreciate the effort you put in 👍
Cheers, Jim 👍👍👍
Brilliant by you and by Ferrari! I am smiling ear to ear just watching this. Very well worth it- when you consider that people spend so much money, time, effort, to get the latest car, but they could simply improve themeslves and thus, improve any car they drive!
Completely right, thanks for your kind comments
Nice job Damian. Very nice video.
Fabulous information and very worthwhile. Thank you for bringing us along for the ride. Now I have another item for the bucket list. I am pretty sure they didn't tell you the times because you now hold the new lap record. Congratulations Damian loved it. 👍👍
Thanks, Neil
It’s amazing how it’s only 200m from the factory - some historic f1 cars in the garage
Hi Damian! Thanks for sharing! We did the course together and really enjoy watching at it again... I even discovered myself driving the 812 Superfast😀...
Greets from Luxembourg,
Robert
Glad you liked it, Robert - I tried to capture the experience as best as I could
TheCarGuys.TV You did an amazing job, especially because filming was officially forbidden on the track😂👍.
9:38 I think to summarize: the shortest point between A and B is a straight line (ie. finding the ideal path around a given circuit) and the goal in cornering is to maximize tires' traction budget (ie. avoiding braking while moving laterally). These are the fundamentals of speed.
Very informative👍
..and you made it again... another wonderful video bringing us where no one else does, not shy to say things how they are. Grazie Damian, Bravo!! 👏🏻 ;)) Siete eccezionali 👌🏻
🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏
Thank you very much for the video Keep up the great work
Yeah, agreed. Now, Damian, how about that £15k loan? Pay you back. I promise.
Good for you Damian!
Living the DREAM Damian !!!!! your looking good out their my Friend .....thank you for sharing ...... #Legend #Damian #Ferrari ..... love how you always manage to squeak a one liner in your vids ... Cheers !!!
👍👍👍
Very very good video.Amazing.I really envy you now.Keep up the good work
Thanks
Awesome content, thank you for this.
Ioan Davies-Cale Glad you enjoyed it
Really enjoyed that. Very insightful. Cheers
You're welcome, Richard
Oh
Holly crap I would love to do this. You lucky guy. I want to do this. Great video.
great video, thanks
Fascinating. A great opportunity, and I guess about the price I’d expect. Wouldn’t want to do the course in the rain though....
Very cool indeed Damian, yes it's a lot of money, but it's a bucket list thing to do , somewhere very special and something you will remember for the rest of your life . 👍👍
Great video big D!! Two things....1. Now was Jason strapped on with the gopros, ?( be honest,) and 2. Does Ferrari Pilota Course accept Blockbuster video cards as payment? If they do I’ll catch the bus to Fiorano next week!🤔😁. Great behind the scenes video, keep up the excellent content and attitude! Thank you!👍
Thanks for the GS wristshot :-) Cool vid!
You’re welcome
Amazing video looked a great day with great cars
Thanks
Awesome mate. Though 6:56 made me LOL. That instructor was really into it.
He was fantastic
I did this course last week and it was absolutely fantastic !
The best driving course/event I have done.
For example, I have also attended Porsche track days at Silverstone with an instructor but this Ferrari course is better. The telemetry and video analysis is amazing.
Awesome to hear 👍👍
Fascinating and enjoyable - maybe reduce your Insurance due to Training ? Whatever , I'm looking forwards to the next video.Nice one Damian !!
Cheers, David
Bravo Damien. As a truly Italian Ferrari fan, i enjoyed your video a lot. Molto bene :-)
👍👍👍👏👏
Nice experience, especially 2/3 in with the telemetry and the comments. Hearing/seeing this is an instructive experience that reinforces prior instruction (if you had some before). Re-play this on your largest TV as phone and tablet not adequate. The split screen of 488 and SuperFast appreciated.
computerhelpcc Glad you enjoyed it
Great video 👍
That was awesome Damian. The cost has to be viewed in the context, as you say, who is teaching you, and what you are driving. Have myself done a couple of drive experiences (not ferrari!), but they pale against this. One on one tuition is nirvana if you want to learn. Sounds like a vacation in Italy might be in order. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice one mate
Wow, just amazing.... Another awesome video, roll on next Friday....
👍👍👍
I’ve been watching this channel for years and only just realized I wasn’t subscribed!! Fixed it straight away!!
mrrintymonaghan Thank you very much
How about you keep useless (for others) thoughts like that away from the YT comments next time? This fishing for validation is ridiculous. Don't flood.
Ex nihilo nihil fit Triggered much?! 😂
Was this on Wednesday of this week? We’re on holiday in Italy at the moment and of course we went to Maranello and did the museum stuff. I stood by the fence and watched cars very similar to these go around.
this had me thinking, would be awesome to see you buy a car and turn it into a trackday weapon and go racing!
Yes it would
yes
They have the 675 LT.. 😋
Looks amazing and a unforgettable experience. I’ve been round the circuit, but only in a mini bus as part of the factory tour ! .
So did they sell you anything while you were out there ? 😉
No, I resisted 😀
Great video !
What about stepping out of the big front v12 to the mid engine 8 ? Does the 12 feel a heavier, more reluctant car ( in track ) ? Which one was more friendly to the more inexperient drivers of the group ?
Thank you as usual.
Brilliant video!
Thanks
Pretty sure the name for the recording equipment is gubbins it's always gubbins! Great video big fan of the channel 👍
Okay you are a guy a would love to do a course like this with. Excellent video
You should sign up for Pilota On Ice. Most fun I've had in a very long time.
Can you put Ferrari trained race driver on your tombstone? Great video, bucketlist stuff.
You betcha
great very interesting ,well put together, what did you think of the pista?
Fantastic on track - streets ahead of 488
Good job! That is a great course! Wow. You did great dude. Most importantly it validates your opinions on vehicles by being able and proven to use that vehicle as intended. Do the entire course! That was excellent. Trust Ferrari to have the best!
Thanks, Tony
Really interesting witnessing the intensity of the instruction.... so will that push you onto the track more in the UK?
Most definitely
Woowww....thank you for sharing!
You’re welcome
Superb. Very impressed that the overtakes were managed by radio and not traditional latin arm waving. 🤷🏻♂️
Enjoyed this!
👍👍
Grazia Ragazzi forza ferrari
Forza Damian
Definitely living your best life thank you for the great content
Grazie* from an Italian :)
Perfect timing gents. A new video from you for me to watch as I'm studying spread sheets of clients spend this year with us. I can then decide how far up Santa's naughty & nice list they are and what Christmas drinks they are worthy of.
I hope watching this won't make me all giddy and everybody's on Champers after it.....
Huzzah!
TheCarGuys.TV 😆.
Anything Special Planned for Christmas Damian?
There has to be a festive Vid, say a Christmas Tree collection video in one of your fleet; as voted for by your Army of Followers...............
Martin Getliffe There will definitely be a Christmas Day special
TheCarGuys.TV 🤗 great stuff Gents. That’ll brighten up one of the most challenging days ever!
Definitely on my list of things to do now!!!
Huzzah! You won’t regret it
Brilliant!
Very nice
Damien this is the 3rd time that I have watched and enjoyed this video, are you going to attend the other courses if yes which ones tickle your fancy? 🇬🇧 🇮🇹
Cheers my friend!! 👍 👌 🤜
Thank you so much, Jonathan 👍👍👍 I might consider the 2nd one
@@TheCarGuysTV And why not only positive things come out of such courses!!
I've been on Ferraris website looking for info on the course...
I know that ferrari supply cars for the course but have you to be a ferrari owner to attend the course? Cheers Rockstar 👊 👊 🤙🤙👍👍🇮🇹🇬🇧
Fantastic insight and looks like an amazing experience. Question though, does this either spoil, or heighten, the excitement for the 812 and Pista, having not taken delivery of your own cars yet?
Good question! Personally it annoyed me even more. Especially as everyone on the course already had theirs!!! 😂
What a great experience! Maybe one day...
Something to aim for
Cool, great day out...pricey, mind! 👍🏻😳
Work hard, earn money, spend it like this, what’s wrong with that? Great video.
Exactly the right attitude, Paul - glad you liked it
