Porsche Sport Driving School - USA Program Information
Porsche Sport Driving School - USA The fantasy can come true…
Imagine spending a full day or even two,
driving a Porsche Carrera S around a
famous racetrack under the skillful guid-
ance of some of the country’s most ac-
complished race drivers. At the Por-
sche Sport Driving School , you will re-
ceive classroom and on-track instruction
in the art and science of high-
performance driving…and experience
thrills that will last you a lifetime. PSDS provides enthusiasts with an op-
portunity to discover just how extraordi-
nary these ultra-high performance
sports cars are. When you leave PSDS
after a one or two day program, you will
not only have learned how to negotiate a
high speed race track, but you will also
be a much more capable and confident
driver in everyday situations.
All programs are fast-paced, initial classroom in-
struction quickly moves to hands-on exercises.
Drivers will experience the Porsche Carrera S,
718 Boxster S, Cayman GT4 and 911 Turbo S
during on-track sessions, as well as the Macan
Turbo, Panamera GTS and Cayenne during off-
track exercises.
Professional instructors provide helpful guidance,
focusing on smoothness and control. Don’t be
surprised if you come face to face with a motor
racing legend.
A progression of skills…
The Precision Course provides an intense one-day experience. The course
begins with a brief classroom session discussing basic vehicle dynamics
and the driving line. Participants then begin a series of rotations through
the Skid Pad, Performance Driving Techniques, Autocross and track driving
sessions. After lunch, participants get another turn on the autocross track
during the Autocross Challenge, more training on the Skid Pad, the Lane
Change exercise and spend the rest of their day lapping the race circuit.

PERFORMANCE: Two-Day Performance Driving Course ($3,200)
Picking up where the Performance course leaves off, the Masters course is
designed to advance driver skills even further. We begin by polishing car
control skills through practice on the Skid Pad and Basic Training Drills
where drivers will receive in-depth instruction on cornering technique and
sessions orienting drivers to the track. A dinner with the instructors at the
Grand Bohemian Mountain Brook to cap off the day. Since honing driving
skills is all about track time, the key objective of day two is to maximize

sessions with a short break for each group to hone their skills during Cor-
nering Drill, Trail Braking exercises and the Autocross Challenge.

MASTERS PLUS: Three-day Advanced Course ($6,600)
The ability to know where the limits are and to comfortably control the car at the
limit is what separates an amateur from a professional. This program focuses on
two areas. First, at the new Proving Grounds facility an emphasis is placed on the
development of car control skills and learning to drive a car at the limits of adhesion
and secondly seat time on the track, where the fundamentals of performance driv-
ing are refined. Participants will develop advanced skills in how to optimize the vehi-
cle at the limits. Further refining the ability to understand vehicle dynamics, such as
how to get out of an oversteer or learn how to control a perfect drift is experi-
enced. Extensive practice is received in how to interact steering and throttle con-
trol to create and maintain drifts and how to induce and control trail brake rotation
for increased confidence on the track. On the track, in addition to the Carrera S and
participants will experience the GT3 RSand 911 Turbo S. The focus on track ses-
sions is to enable them to practice and hone skills.
Masters or Masters Plus Course completion required.

format, programs can be tailored
to accommodate your needs.
From Cayenne to Carrera, your
guests will drive an array of Por-
sche products. Set up for maxi-
mum fun and learning, we put the
cars through their paces, show-
ing off what each does best. Zip-
ping around the autocross course
in Boxster, participants are
schooled in precision and control.
On the Cayenne off-road course,
visitors will learn the fundamen-
tals of off-roading on challenging,
rugged terrain. The tempo picks
up on the track with lapping ses-
sions behind the wheel of a Carre-
ra S and Boxster S, where speed
increases as skills improve. Our
event coordinators can assist you
in designing your special event to
ensure a truly unique experience
that will never be forgotten.
