DALLARA ACADEMY & SIMULATOR

The Dallara Academy is much more than an educational and exhibition center: it is an immersive experience in the heart of the Motor Valley, where a passion for speed meets cutting-edge technology. Inaugurated on September 21, 2018, in Varano de' Melegari (Parma), the Academy occupies over 5,500 square meters in a bold, modern building, born from Engineer Giampaolo Dallara's vision of sharing the wealth of expertise developed over 50 years of history.

Designed by Atelier(s) Alfonso Femia, winner of the invited competition for the project, the facility stands out for its unique architecture, conceived as a "harmonious composition of mechanical parts," where nothing is left to chance. A spectacular glass spiral ramp connects the two floors: the ground floor houses the public reception areas and workshops for schools; the upper floor houses the MUNER classrooms and a 350-seat auditorium for conferences and events. But the true heart of the Dallara Academy is the exhibition, where visitors can admire up close the legendary cars that have shaped the history of Dallara and the automaker: from the Miura to the X19, from the American IndyCars to the Le Mans prototypes, including Formula 3, Formula E, and the iconic Dallara Stradale. All this is immersed in an architectural setting that opens onto the landscape of the Val Ceno, thanks to the spectacular glass wall that follows the curve of the ramp.

And for those who dream of experiencing the adrenaline rush of the track firsthand? At the Dallara Academy, you can get behind the wheel of a professional driving simulator and put your driving skills to the test! A unique opportunity to experience the thrill of speed and feel, at least for a day, part of the Dallara world.
