Driver Skills is a one-day course in the fundamentals of driving your Porsche, at safe limits on streets and highways. You’ll get seat time on a closed course (Qlispe Raceway), perfecting your technique with exercises designed to focus on essential high performance driving skills: looking ahead, weight transfer, smooth inputs, threshold braking, and more. Coaching with trained instructors ensures that Driver Skills has something to offer drivers at any experience level. You’ll be better prepared to handle yourself in emergency situations.  All Porsche models are welcome, especially SUV’s.

None of the exercises involve timing or competition. Instead, you work 1:1 with our instructors at a pace appropriate for your experience and comfort level. The exercises are designed to improve your ability to look ahead, place the car precisely, control weight transfer and brake effectively.  At the end of the primary sessions, students can apply all the lessons of the day on a fun handling course.
