Racing in Italy Misano

Racing in Italy is a race team from near Milan, led by team principal Oren Shibi, that puts paying drivers in the cars it races. At Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli it runs full day track days in three single seaters: a Dallara GP2 car sold as a Formula 2, Dallara Formula 3s with VW Spiess engines and a Mygale Formula 4 with an Alpine engine. Each car comes with the team's mechanics, an engineer on the telemetry and a professional race driver as coach.

The rest of the menu here is a GT track day in a Mercedes AMG or an Audi R8, a motorcycle track day on a Honda CBR600 or a Yamaha R1, and a paid seat in the team's Formula 3, Formula 4 or GT car at the FX Italian Series round in November, the last race weekend on the team's 2026 calendar.

Beginner courses and supercar test drives are not sold here. They run at the team's home circuit at Castelletto di Branduzzo, south of Milan, which has its own listing, and the offices and workshop are in Vigevano.

• The Formula 2 is a Dallara GP2 car built in 2005 and run on a 2008 setup, with a 4.0 litre Mecachrome V8 of about 630 hp, a Hewland six speed sequential gearbox and 688 kg. It has raced at this circuit before, in the BossGP series.
• There are two Dallara Formula 3s on VW Spiess engines: the F308 with 245 hp and a Drexler six speed paddle shift, and the newer F318 with 248 hp and a Hewland paddle shift. The team says Daniel Ricciardo drove its F308 in the 2008 Formula 3 season.
• The Formula 4 is a 2018 Mygale with a 2.0 litre Alpine engine making 165 hp and a SADEV six speed sequential gearbox worked by paddles. It came from the Danish F4 championship.
• The GT is a Mercedes AMG or an Audi R8, both 2023 cars built up for the GT cup the team runs in the FX Italian Series.
• The motorcycle day is on the team's own bikes: a Honda CBR600 or a Yamaha R1.
• A single seater has room for one, so the coaching is done in the garage. Between runs the coach puts the telemetry and onboard video on screen, goes through braking and turn in points, and the mechanics change the setup before the next session.
• The team and cars arrive the day before to unload and prepare. The day opens with an internal briefing on the car and the circuit, then follows the circuit's own timetable on an active track shared with other cars, with marshals and strict session timing.
• The November race weekend is a full team programme: seat fitting on arrival, free practice with a telemetry and video debrief after each session, qualifying, the races and the trophies.

• How it runs: Misano is a dated stop on the team's season calendar, not a daily operation. In 2026 the car track day ran on 27 August and the motorcycle day on 16 June, and the FX Italian Series race weekend runs on 13 to 15 November 2026. Dates come from the team.
• Track day prices, per person: Formula 2 €39,000 for 4 to 5 sessions of about 25 minutes.

GT €9,500 for 4 to 5 sessions of 25 minutes. Motorcycle €4,900 on the CBR600 or €6,100 on the R1, 6 to 8 sessions of 25 to 30 minutes.
• What the car track days include: the race team, mechanics and setup, a professional coach, telemetry, onboard video, transponder timing, fuel and transport of the car. The Formula 2 and Formula 3 days add a theory course and a helmet with microphone, gloves and suit. The Formula 4 day adds a used tyre set and circuit admission. The GT day adds used tyres, circuit admission, lunch and an aperitif.
• Race weekend prices, per race at the FX Italian Series round: Formula 4 €12,000. Formula 3 €23,700 in the F308 or €30,700 in the F318, which the team counts as five days with the team, three at the circuit and more than 6 hours and 300 km of driving. GT €22,000 with two new tyre sets and one used set. The formula seats include lunch and aperitif, one used and one new tyre set (plus a rain set in the Formula 3), storage and car transport. Driver admission to the circuit is not included.
• Add ons: a new tyre set on the Formula 4 day at €1,800, extra new sets at race weekends at €1,450, racing licence assistance at €1,700, and driver and car insurance sold by the team (or full cover arranged through GULLWING). Drivers bringing their own race car can buy the team's services on their own: mechanic €350, telemetry €450, professional coach €500.
• Who can drive: the Formula 2 and Formula 3 track days are only for drivers who have already driven a formula car. The Formula 4 and GT days take entry level drivers, and the team recommends its racing course first. The team says a racing licence is needed at most of the famous circuits. Race seats need an INT C licence in the formula cars and a C licence in the GT, which the team helps obtain. Anyone booking must be 18 years of age or older.
• Size limits: the Formula 4 and the formula race seats take drivers up to 185 cm and 85 kg, with height given when ordering. The GT day and GT race take drivers up to 200 cm and 95 kg. The motorcycle track day takes riders up to 190 cm and 95 kg, with a driving licence to bring.
• Deposit and damage: €10,000 on the Formula 2 and Formula 3 track days, which the team states is the most charged after an accident. €7,000 on the Formula 4 day and €20,000 on the GT day and every race seat, each waived when the team's car insurance is bought. €5,000 on the motorcycle track day. Damage the driver causes to the vehicle or a third party is charged under the list attached to the waiver signed before going on track, personal injury sits with the driver's own insurance, and international visitors declare the activity to their own insurer.
• Gear: the GT day and all race seats exclude gear, so an FIA approved helmet, HANS, gloves, suit, shoes and underwear are the driver's own. Gear can be bought through the team with a month's notice.
• Not included: travel, accommodation and any meals beyond those listed.
• Weather: the Formula 4 runs only on a dry track and does not run in snow, heavy rain or on a frozen track, with the day postponed or fully refunded, and the motorcycle track day follows the same rule. The Formula 2 runs in light and heavy rain under the circuit organiser's rules.
• Cancellation: the Formula 4 day, the GT day, the motorcycle track day and race seats up to 1 month before. Formula 2 and Formula 3 track days up to 2 weeks before the organiser's registration closes, under the organiser's refund policy. Date changes are free when asked more than 2 days ahead and subject to availability after that.
• Booking: book and pay online on the team's shop before the day; cards are not taken at the circuit. The Formula 4 day takes up to 3 drivers per event. For a gift, write YES and the preferred date at checkout and fill in the voucher form; gift cards are sold in the same shop.
