Master Maserati Driving Courses Celebrate their 20th Anniversary in Partnership with Scuderia de Adam

AMMAN, Jordan - May 8, 2019 - PRLog -- with 11 events scheduled at the Varano de' Melegari circuit, concluding on 7 November this year.

This year, the House of the Trident celebrates the twentieth anniversary of its Master Maserati Driving Courses in partnership with Scuderia de Adamich.

In the spring of 1999 the Master Maserati project was launched, with the first 2-day Master GT course, held at the "Autodromo Riccardo Paletti" at Varano de' Melegari and attended by 12 customers. Under the supervision of Andrea de Adamich, a lifetime racing aficionado and former F1 driver, and his staff, participants took the wheel of powerful 3200 GT coupé cars for a series of activities combined with specific on-track exercises, with state-of-the-art data acquisition systems to analyse their performance on the circuit, provide invaluable feedback and correct driving errors.

The first instructors also included former F1 driver Ivan Capelli, now President of ACI (Italian Automobile Club) Milan.

Since then, more than 500 Master Maserati Driving Courses have been held, with over 700 days on the circuit. Over 7,000 customers and enthusiasts from more than 50 different countries have taken the wheel of the various Maserati models during the courses' twenty years in operation.

From 1999 to the present, almost 30 different Maserati models have been used for these courses. Participants have always had the opportunity to drive the Quattroporte flagship and, since 2014, the Ghibli sport sedan. The 3200 GT Coupé represented the Brand's sporting personality from 1998 until its replacement in 2008 by the new GranTurismo in its various trims.

The cars featured in the Trofeo Maserati, the Coupé Cambiocorsa and subsequently the GranSport and GranSport MC, are also included in the fleet used for courses focused on perfecting on-circuit racing techniques. Today, the GranTurismo MC GT4 is the key model of the "Race" and "Championship" courses for customers and enthusiasts who love this type of sports car.

From 2016 Levante, the first SUV in Maserati's over a century of history, also took to the track with an innovative new format combining circuit driving sessions with off-road experiences. To accommodate these, a new 11 km off-road track was created near the circuit. Located within a nature reserve, it offers a variety of routes and some particularly demanding stretches, with a wealth of natural and custom-built obstacles, to teach participants the secrets of off-road driving on board the Levante SUV.
