A racing variant of the 458, the Ferrari 458 Challenge was built to compete in Ferraris single series 'Ferrari Challenge' championship. The 458 Challenge may look like its road legal counterpart, but that's where the similarities end. Featuring slick tyres, uprated race suspension and huge Brembo CCM2 brakes, as well as tech found in Scuderia Ferrari's Formula 1 team, the 458 produces 562bhp and is capable of reaching speeds in excess of 200mph with its 4.5-litre V8 engine. Your experience will start with a driver safety and technique briefing, meaning you'll get the most out of your time behind the wheel. After 4 instructor driven sighting laps in a track prepared sports car and a high-speed passenger ride, it's your turn in the hot seat. You'll get 3 laps of driving in the Ferrari 458 Challenge, with your instructor giving you tips and tricks throughout as you take it out onto the new, faster, wider and demanding Circuit 112 layout.
