			 As a Christmas and birthday present my girlfriend is sending me to the 2 day Porsche Sport Driving School! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) A bunch of Porsches and the Barber Motorsports Park has got to be pretty close to auto nirvana. I watched one of the videos on you tube about it and Hurly Haywood is doing a hot lap around the track in a Cayman, talking about how he loves mid engine cars and how he used to race 914s and how much he loves driving them. Has anyone on here done this driving school? Any advice going in?

			 Take your time and get the line first before you build speed.   
			
			
					
		Don't scare the guy in the right seat, it won't end well. Relax. As others have said it can be exhausting and dehydrating, be sure to get in a little bit of down time when you can and watch from grandstands if possible. Be sure to ride with some instructors and watch how they manipulate the car. Try to navigate the course while giving the car the least amount of input on all of the controls. Abandon all your bad habits ye who enter here. Smooth, smooth, SMOOTH! Have fun! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)  |
