Dallara

Dallara Academy is the public face of Dallara Automobili in Varano de' Melegari, showcasing race‑car chassis design, scale models and interactive simulators. The site combines a museum‑style exhibition 'ramp', labs, an auditorium and guided factory tours focused on engineering and manufacturing processes.

Visits suit motorsport fans, engineering students and families; the main exhibition takes about an hour while guided factory or behind‑the‑scenes experiences run longer and require advance booking. The Academy links closely with the nearby Autodromo di Varano for a full motor‑sports day out.

Begin with a short exhibit tour that explains Dallara’s history, chassis development and current race programmes; you can try simulators and see scale models before the guided segments.

Exhibition highlights

• Exhibition “ramp” with chassis, interactive displays and historical milestones.
• Driving simulators suitable for visitors; timed sessions are commonly part of the visit.
• Guided factory or workshop tours that show design labs and production techniques (book in advance).

Best way to experience it
Plan at least 90–120 minutes to combine the exhibition, a simulator session and a guided tour. Book multilingual guided tours ahead of your visit, and pair the visit with a lap or event at the adjacent Autodromo di Varano for a full Motor Valley itinerary.

• Guided tours are offered in several languages but require prior booking.
• Exhibition visit is typically ~1 hour; factory tours take longer.
• The Academy sits next to Autodromo di Varano — allow extra time if attending track events.
• Confirm opening hours and tour availability on the official Dallara Academy page before visiting.
