've not done that particular one, IMO they are great BUT.......the instructors are usually very hands on,basically they tell you when to brake and when to change gear,which is a little annoying if you already know how to drive fast....but you have to take into account they see drivers of all standards so they have to keep it safe.

I think he'll enjoy it very much if he's not use to driving fast cars,and even if he is a Ferrari will feel awesome on track anyway

Done a day in 355 and 360 a few years ago, brilliant. They won't let you floor it in 1st and 2nd, but after that, give it loads. The acceleration goes on and on and on, and the amount of speed the brakes can scrub off is mental. On the last lap in the 360, the guy told me not to brake until he says so. Im, coming to this hairpin and carrying about 145 mph and I'm thinking he has forgotten, but no, stops on a penny. He will have a ball,
