Ferrari 458 Challenge Driving Experiences

Designed to participate in the Ferrari Challenge racing series, the Ferrari 458 Challenge was first presented for the 2011 season at the Italian supercar marque’s Annual Dealer Meeting in the summer of 2010.

And whilst it is currently only available for our 14 Lap Race Car experience we have to book at Bovingdon Airfield in Hertfordshire, it is one worth every penny to make petrolheads everywhere salivate with unadulterated glee.

The main focus for engineering and design here is on making it even more lightweight to make it a faster and more furious drive around the track or circuit, with thinner body panels, and a polycarbonate windshield and windows.

It all adds up to the most rapid ride of your life you’ll ever experience in a Ferrari, with a 4.5 litre V8 engine roaring out 562 bhp, acceleration from 0 - 60 mph in a record breaking 2.9 seconds, and a jaw dropping top speed of 210 mph.

It's never been easier to book your Ferrari 458 Challenge Experience than it is right now at Trackdays. We've spent a lot of time optimizing our bookings with the goal of making the entire process as simple and painless as possible, from choosing the proper package on the website to getting behind the wheel.

If you're booking for yourself, our live date availability means that after you've selected your package, you can go straight to the calendar and choose a date and time that works for you. This is ideal if you have a set timetable or if you're looking for something a little more last-minute!

If you're shopping for a friend, family member, or loved one, our open date gift vouchers will be a much better fit. These vouchers are good for ten months from the date of purchase, making them an excellent choice if you don't know the person's schedule or availability.

After purchasing the voucher, they can redeem it online and book a date, or they can call our customer service team and book it through them. Either way, a Ferrari 458 Challenge is an unforgettable gift, and it's never been easier to book than right now!

Ferrari 458 Challenge Experiences: Important Booking Information

If you're purchasing an open Ferrari package gift voucher, double-check the validity period, since some Ferrari special offer vouchers and regular packages may have a shorter or longer duration.

If you want to book a Ferrari drive right now, keep in mind that you're making a booking request, and the day and time you choose will be subject to availability after we receive your order. We normally confirm bookings within 48 hours, but it's critical that you don't make any plans related to your reservation until you receive a final confirmation email. When you make a booking request, you will receive an immediate receipt. This is not the confirmation.

Remember to check when purchasing Ferrari 458 Challenge Track Days that the driver fits all age, weight, height, and driving license criteria. Each event will have its own set of prerequisites, so make sure you've read all of the key details.

If an experience is solely for junior drivers, we will normally specify it in the package name, but this is not always the case. If a driver does not match the standards on the day, they will most likely not be allowed to drive.

Of all their purpose built sports cars, the Ferrari 458 Challenge is probably one of the rarest there is to drive. Just under 150 of these models have been produced since 2011, but given that somewhere between 25 - 50 of these have been written off in race conditions, that number is more likely somewhere under 100.

The 458 Challenge has also had the honour of being replicated in small scale form for fans of the Hot Wheels die cast toy vehicles, at 1:18 scale, available in both its ‘Race and Play’ and ‘Signature Series’ ranges.
