They’re both ultimately part of the same firm – the massive Volkswagen Audi Group. And they’ve both got a stonking range of saucy high-end machinery, with similarly well-heeled customers. So, it probably makes a lot of sense for Porsche and Ducati to ‘team up’ for an event.

This one is based in the Franciacorta proving ground near Brescia in northern Italy, and is more of an experience day than a pure track day, with on- and off-road challenges. All the Ducati range is there to try out, except for the Panigales, and the Porsche garage is filled with 911s and Cayenne SUVs. It costs €1200, and takes place on June 28-29.
