One of the most beautiful places on the planet. The hilly nature, the vineyards, and the food. Oh, and lets not forget about all the insanely nice roads for a fast car.
During this weekend event you will have about 800 kilometres of pure driving joy with your supercar of choice. You will have a lot of great food and drink some of the finest fermented grape juice from the region. It is the Tuscan wine season after all.
The event starts in Florence, where we stay at Hotel Villa Cora. It is beautifully situated on a hill near Piazzale Michelangelo overlooking the city. The car you have chosen will be ready for you in the parking lot just outside the reception. Your Ferrari or Lamborghini for the event.
The day after our visit to Lamborghini and Ferrari, the real fun begins. It is time to drive! The route will take us from Florence through Chianti and the insanely pretty Tuscan hills to Grosseto, following the Tuscan coast to Viareggio and Forte Dei Marmi, crossing Passo dellVestito to Garfagnana and the city of Lucca, before going back to Florence.
Total amount of driving is about 800 km, spread over three driving days. 250 km on twisty roads each day is hard work - you will be quite tired when arriving at the hotels after a day on the road. A cold glass of prosecco will taste amazing.
Wait, what? It is correct. We have been able to source 18 supercars for this event. You will find the available cars below, after the schedule. When all cars are taken, the event is fully booked.
Welcome to Tuscany and Villa Cora in Florence, one of the top hotels of the city. Check-in opens during the afternoon. Here you also sign for the supercar you have chosen for the event. Want to go for a spin in Florence with your Ferrari? You are welcome. Please dont be late for the welcome mingle that starts at 19:00.

From Viareggio we continue along the sea. First to Forte Dei Marmi, and then to Massa. From Massa, we drive one of the best roads in Italy - the famous SP13.

After lunch, we continue on the famous road to Asciano before heading north and using Strada del Chianti again before arriving in Florence and our hotel for the night, The Westin Excelsior, yet another Italian luxury heavyweight hotel, with a fantastic terrace and view over the city.
