Donated by Pirelli, this lot gives the winning bidder and one guest to visit Pirelli’s headquarters in Milan in 2021, dependent on any COVID-19 restrictions. The experience will start in the morning with a visit at the Pirelli Hangar Bicocca, a non-profit institution for producing and promoting contemporary art, with the Curator of Exhibitions serving as your guide.

Afterwards, there will be a visit to the Pirelli Foundation, Pirelli’s historical archive, hosted by the facility’s director. Lunch will be held at the Bicocca degli Arcimboldi, a fifteenth century historic villa that is now the institutional venue inside Pirelli’s headquarters. After lunch, the tour will continue with a visit to the Research & Development Centre, including Pirelli’s indoor testing facilities, compounds laboratories and the brand new static simulator that Pirelli drivers and engineers use to develop future tyres.

At the end of the experience, the winner will also receive a Personalized "Pole Position Wind Tunnel Tyre" from Mario Isola, Pirelli Head of F1 and Car Racing. The wind tunnel tyre is a scaled-down replica of Pirelli’s F1 racing tyres and since 2018, it has been awarded to the fastest driver at the end of each F1 qualifying session.

Please note that no photographs are allowed during the tour of the Research & Development Centre.
