Ferrari Driving Experience Mont Tremblant

Every now and then the phone rings…. How would you like to go to Mont Tremblant Canada to the Ferrari driving school? I stepped off the plane, inhaled a giant breath of Canadian and was off. Mont Tremblant is a beautiful mountain village centered around a lake with the circuit just minutes away. It winds thru the country side on perfect pavement. We started early with breakfast and classroom instruction, 12 gleaming 430’s sat outside waiting. I shot as the class sat patiently listened. We eventualy made it outside, and I must say how impressed I was with level of attention to the comfort and ease of the class. There were plenty of teachers and staff always there to help. And the cars! Lately I’ve been getting the feeling that all the new style of supercar was a lot of flash, the gold chain hairy chest crowd, I was wrong. These cars were taken for 2 solid days screaming around the course, skid pad testing, braking and slalom, chasing and such, and these cars were flawless. The motors never overheated, never spit or sputtered, not even a crunching gear shift. I was shooting from inside the car as we lapped the track. Accelerating up the hill, zap, zap, zap pulling without delay. These cars are fun! But as the instructors kept stressing, these may be Ferrari’s, but you are driving them, without you the car doesn’t know where to go. Great advice.
