130 of the luckiest people in the world made their way to Aspen or Livigno in the Italian Alps to take a winter driving course from Lamborghini this month.
Participants at these exclusive events were offered the choice of an intensive course that lasted a day or an advanced course that lasted two.
The lessons started theoretically, moved on to the slalom, then to something excitingly called a power oversteer test, and finally onto a track. The instructors changed depending on day and location, but included Lamborghini GT3 factory drivers and members of the GT3 Junior Program.
The selection of cars included a Huracán LP 610-4 and Aventador LP700-4 in both coupe and roadster trim (!), and an LP 750-4 SV. As the “4” in their names suggests, the cars all had four wheel drive and sported studded Pirelli Winter Sottozero tires.
Far be it from me to call anyone who attended one of these courses unlucky, but those who were in Livigno may have been slightly luckier since Lamborghini also broke out a Huracán LP 620-2 Super Trofeo racecar, running on special, studded rain tires.
The winter semester lasted 17 days in all and in that time more than 1,200 tires were used. The country that sent the most students was the U.S., with 34 of the 130 participants hailing from the land of the free.
Lamborghini runs driving schools year round, but this was the only winter driving course for 2016. The next class is this month on Philip Island in Australia.
