Racing in Italy Paul Ricard

Racing in Italy is a race team from near Milan, run by team principal Oren Shibi, that sells seats in the cars it races. In France it takes two of its single seaters to Circuit Paul Ricard at Le Castellet for full day track days: a Mygale Formula 4 with an Alpine engine and Dallara Formula 3s with VW Spiess engines. The team brings its own mechanics, an engineer on the telemetry and a professional race driver as coach.

The menu here is those two formula cars and nothing else. The team's GT cars, motorcycles and paid race weekend seats run at other circuits on its calendar, and none of the championship rounds on its 2026 calendar was held at this circuit.

Le Castellet sits between Marseille and Toulon. The team's offices and workshop are in Vigevano, and its beginner courses and supercar test drives run at its home circuit at Castelletto di Branduzzo, south of Milan, which has its own listing.

• The Formula 4 is a 2018 Mygale with a 2.0 litre Alpine engine of 165 hp and a SADEV six speed sequential gearbox shifted on paddles. Before joining the team it raced in Danish F4.
• The Formula 3 comes in two versions, both Dallaras on VW Spiess engines: the F308 with 245 hp, 465 kg and a Drexler six speed paddle shift, or the later F318 with 248 hp, 500 kg and a Hewland paddle shift. According to the team, its F308 is the car Daniel Ricciardo raced in the 2008 Formula 3 season.
• Both are single seaters, so nobody rides with you. The coaching happens in the garage between runs: the coach puts your telemetry and onboard footage on screen, goes through the braking and turn in points, and the mechanics adjust the setup for the next session.
• Every run is timed on a transponder and filmed onboard, and the Formula 3 footage comes with the telemetry laid over it.
• The team's crew and cars arrive the day before to unload and prepare. The day starts with an internal briefing on the car and the circuit, then follows the circuit's own session timetable on a live track shared with other cars, with marshals and strictly timed sessions.

• How it runs: this circuit is a dated stop on the team's season calendar, not a daily operation. In 2026 the track days ran on 7 and 8 March, 25 and 26 March, and 7 and 8 July. Dates come from the team.
• Track day prices, per person: Formula 4 €9,490 for 4 to 5 sessions of 20 minutes. Formula 3 €16,400 in the F308 or €19,900 in the F318, the team's rate for circuits outside Italy, for 4 to 5 sessions of about 25 minutes.
• What both days include: the race team, mechanics and setup, a professional coach, telemetry, onboard video, transponder timing, fuel and transport of the car. The Formula 3 day adds a theory course and a helmet with microphone, gloves and suit. The Formula 4 day adds a used tyre set and circuit admission for the driver.
• Add ons: a new tyre set on the Formula 4 day at €1,800, 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 3 day is only for drivers who have already driven a formula car. The Formula 4 day accepts entry level drivers, and the team recommends its racing course first. The team says some circuits need a racing licence of any level and that one is required at most of the famous circuits. Anyone booking must be 18 years of age or older.
• Size limits: the Formula 4 takes drivers up to 185 cm and 85 kg, with height given when ordering.
• Deposit and damage: the Formula 3 day carries a €10,000 deposit, which the team states is the most charged after an accident. The Formula 4 day carries a €7,000 deposit unless the team's car insurance is bought. Damage the driver causes to the car 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 on the Formula 4 day: the team's FAQ says formula drivers are given a helmet, gloves and racing shoes, plus a suit at most circuits. Race gear can be bought through the team with a month's notice.
• Not included: travel, accommodation and meals.
• 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.
• Cancellation: the Formula 4 day up to 1 month before. The Formula 3 day 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.
