As children, little boys sleep in race car-shaped beds, drive their mini Maserati’s across living room floors, and dream of the day they will own and drive an actual Maserati. It is every little boy’s dream to be a racecar driver, to experience the kind of thrill only speed can give you. The Master Maserati driving courses now allow men to actualize those childish dreams. The year 2013 will take place at the customized Circuit Varano de’ Melegari in Parma, Italy. Each course has a limited number of seats so that each student gets specialized attention. Of the courses on offer, these two are the most exclusive driving and luxury experiences that feature the thrill of the racetrack, a shopping spree, and a tour of Italy’s most beautiful cities of art.
