The new season of Master Maserati programme gets underway

The 21st season of the Master Maserati driving courses begins, with a complete offering of sporty driving courses. In fact, this year the Master Maserati calendar includes a total of 7 events (with various  formats) at the Varano de’ Melegari circuit from 3 July to 23 October 2020.

The Master Maserati driving courses have adopted specific preventive measures and  special protocols to minimise any health risks during the activities and to enable customers to enjoy themselves in conditions of the greatest safety.

For more than 20 years, Maserati’s driving courses have been enabling participants to drive the entire model range, from legends like the GranTurismo MC GT4 to the latest offerings like the Levante Trofeo, and gain a personal insight into the secrets of racetrack driving. Each attendee receives individual tuition by a team of professional drivers and a personal instructor, backed up by detailed video analysis and full telemetry support.

Courses are run in partnership with the Scuderia de Adamich, whose pool of instructors has been further expanded this year to over 100 worldwide. Scuderia de Adamich has been a partner and coordinator of the Master Maserati driving courses since 1999, and thanks to this strong, enduring relationship,  has been able to  refine various methodologies and multiple courses over time.

Starting this year, Master Maserati driving courses offer no fewer than five different formats.

Four types of courses focus on circuit driving at the “Riccardo Paletti” track at Varano de’ Melegari. They are tailored for varying levels of proficiency and take place under the watchful eye of fully qualified racing drivers.

To ensure a truly unforgettable experience, the cars include the GranTurismo, Ghibli, Levante and the powerful GranTurismo MC GT4.

Finally, there is a further course specifically for companies seeking to develop and consolidate team spirit, making full use of the fun and ethos of a unique driving course such as the Master Maserati.

The 2020 edition sees the introduction of a special addition for companions, with packages of one or two days (depending on the chosen format) with a customised programme at the nearby Fidenza Village luxury shopping centre.

Since 1999, a total of more than 550 Master Maserati driving courses have been held, with more than 700 days on the circuit. Over 7,000 clients from more than 50 different countries have taken the wheel of the different models, with a particularly large proportion (32%) of non-European Maserati fans, from Asian countries and the United States of America above all.

Over these twenty years, about 30 different Maserati models have been used, and for 2020, the high-performance 580 hp Levante Trofeo V8 will join the pool of vehicles being used.

INCENTIVE COURSES FOR CORPORATE EVENTS

The Incentive courses, intended as corporate events, are specifically designed to bond a team together, through the fun and unique characteristics of a Master Maserati driving course.

The package comprises a motivational programme custom-designed to suit the interests and needs of any business, team or VIP client, with the ability to cater for groups of up to 100 for however many driving days are required.

The Varano de’ Melegari circuit nature reserve also features an off-road course that can be used for corporate events. This zone is equipped with artificial wooden obstacles in an off-road area to make the experience even more challenging, and enables participants to improve their techniques in driving across bridges, twists, banked stretches and test benches. 

Last but not least, the driving can also be combined with cultural activities, including a private visit to the Panini Motor Museum in Modena, local gastronomic experiences or a factory tour of the historic Maserati plant in Modena, completely refurbished to house production of the new Maserati MC20 supercar.
