The successor to their popular 430 model, Ferrari first showcased the 458 Italia at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2009, the same year that it rolled off the production line. And quite appropriately, being their first new supercar of the decade that followed, it had an all new, innovative approach.
The company’s experience in Formula 1 helped inform the technology and engineering that was incorporated into the 458 Italia by Magneti Marelli, chiefly as it was the first of their mid-engined models to have direct fuel injection, and automatic transmission from a dual-clutch, 7-speed GETRAG gearbox.
And with a completely brand new, super slick design, it all adds up to a Ferrari supercar that is quite unlike anything they’ve made - or indeed you’ll have driven - before. It posts some record breaking speed stats, accelerating from 0 - 60 mph in 3.3 seconds and 0 - 100 mph in 6.8 seconds, with an achievable top speed of 202 mph. Suffice to say, you’ll need to buckle in tight for a ride in the 458 Italia.
So that everyone has the chance to experience this unforgettable race car, TrackDays.co.uk has 15 circuits where it is available to drive!
For those in the North - Three Sisters Circuit in Wigan plays host to the 458 Italia; whilst those in the East Midlands can book to enjoy the ride of their life at Blyton Park in Lincolnshire. In the South East we have Heyford Park in Oxfordshire; South West why not try Castle Combe in Wiltshire or the beautiful coastal circuit of Perranporth in Cornwall.
How to Book a Ferrari 458 Italia Driving Experience Day
We’re in regular contact with the suppliers and venue owners, so all the dates you see for all our experience packages here on TrackDays offer the most up to date information on availability. You can book directly onto any forthcoming date of your choice using our Calendar function.
Looking for something special to surprise a loved one or friend for their birthday, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, anniversary or any other special occasion? Why not go for one of our open gift vouchers - they offer great flexibility for when and where you want to go, and we can send them to you via email or post them out with additional gift wrap options available at checkout.
Please remember when booking Ferrari driving experiences that the driver satisfies all specific requirements - each experience is different. If you are unsure about any of the details our customer service team are available 6 days a week and would be glad to assist you. Drivers need to also have their full driving license with them throughout the day if it is an adult experience. We offer junior driving experiences and this is usually specified in the name of the package - but not in every instance. If a driver fails to meet the requirements it is unlikely they will be able to drive the vehicle and would be offered a passenger ride instead.
Vouchers are typically valid for 10 months - but certain Ferrari experiences have a shorter or longer duration. Experience slots are very popular and can fill up fast so we advise booking as early as possible.
Unsurprisingly, given its power and performance, the 458 Italia is one of Ferrari’s most decorated and celebrated supercars in its history, winning both Car of the Year and Supercar of the Year on its launch year in 2009.
And as if to prove its speed advantage over its predecessors, on the fifteenth series of the popular BBC motoring show Top Gear in 2010, James May raced it against a 430 model in a drag race where it lapped their test track in 1:19:1, and Dunsfold Park - where the Top Gear test track is based - just so happens to be one of our many locations you can book to drive the 458 Italia at with TrackDays.
All experiences are subject to availability. The most recent information on dates when an event may be available can be checked by looking at the calendars on the website, or when you have activated and logged in with your voucher. Please note not all spaces are shown online so if you cannot see spaces for your event please call or email for dates. We will do our best to secure your preferred choice of event, venue and date, but to avoid disappointment book as early as possible, especially for peak times such as weekends and the summer months which book up very quickly. Do not purchase an experience for yourself or as a gift that has a choice of venues if you or the person it is for are only able to travel to one of the choices. Once you are booked, you are bound by the terms and conditions of the event host of which a copy can be made available upon request. In most circumstances, a cancellation cannot be made once a date has been booked.
When booking by phone or online you should not make arrangements in connection with an Event until you have received your final booking confirmation stating your date and time (this does not include the automatic purchase email you receive that confirms what you have just ordered). Your final confirmation will usually arrive within 48 hours of making the purchase. For voucher redemption see 'voucher conditions' below. Where specific elements of an Event such as vehicles or equipment are not available due to mechanical breakdown, we reserve the right to make reasonable substitutions on the day. If this is not possible we reserve the right to cancel the experience at short notice.
Voucher holders must make a prior booking and receive confirmation in order that an open voucher can be redeemed. We recommend that when you have chosen your experience you redeem your voucher at least 21 days in advance of taking your selected experience. We do not guarantee availability on all events, even if the date is showing, so if a chosen event is full or you cannot find a suitable date during the validity period of your voucher then the credit can be used towards an alternative event. Do not arrive at a venue expecting to be able to use your voucher without making a prior booking and receiving a booking confirmation. Trackdays.co.uk will not be held liable for any costs incurred in such circumstances.
Unless stated otherwise, vouchers are valid for one person only. Where necessary a top-up payment can be made to increase the value of a voucher to book a higher priced event. Note that during the out of season months the price of experience may change. If the price of the event is lower than the value of the voucher the remaining credit will be held for use until the vouchers expiry date. We recommend booking as early as possible as you must have undertaken your experience before the expiry date printed on the front of your Voucher. All vouchers will be valid for use up to the expiry date displayed, but after this date, vouchers will automatically expire and cannot be reinstated under any circumstances. Trackdays.co.uk staff are not responsible for reminding or informing customers when a voucher is due to expire. A voucher holder may book a date which is outside of the expiration date displayed on the voucher but must extend the expiry of their voucher for an administration fee. This must be processed before the original expiry date. Voucher credit cannot be used for extension fees or to pay for booking protection.
