A driver training as extreme as the Sant’ Agata super sports cars themselves: that is what the Lamborghini Academy is all about. Following the highly successful Winter Academy, Automobili Lamborghini has launched its Track Experiences programme for the autumn of 2006, available to both Lamborghini customers and those who wish to experience the adrenaline of driving a high performance car to the best of their abilities. Three different track-based programmes have been developed to allow drivers to explore both their own limits and those of the technology-leading, high performance Lamborghini models they will drive. Even the course names are an indication of the dynamics the participants will face: Mach 1, Mach 2 and Mach 3. Under the expert guidance of professional instructors, students will conquer the famous Italian racetracks of either Mugello or Misano, depending on the course they select. Maximum driving experience is assured: a fleet of fully prepared Gallardo cars is optimised for the circuit, and participants limited to 16 in each group. Students are supported in the learning process by telemetric timekeeping throughout, with a theory session preceding every course. The only condition for participation is a valid driving licence. The courses in detail: ...
