Porsche Track Experience

"First class instruction,cars, facility and even the catering for the meals. Everyone that I encountered was very attentive to detail!"

"It was way more valuable than simply being super fun. Terrific, professional instruction, coaching and comfort-zone stretching. We certainly learned a lot of ‘fundamentals’ that I found super helpful back in the real world - the ‘time on track’ was terrific and exceeded my expectations. I’d highly recommend these folks if you are looking to take your driving skills to a higher level."

"I attended the Porsche Track Experience #PTXBHAM in mid-July 2022. The instructors are absolutely amazing. Everything from the accomodations, catered meals, classroom instructions, cone drills (slalom, trailbraking, autocross, and skidpad), and individual coaching on the track is absolutely top notch. You will be in these amazing vehicles within an hour of showing up on your first day. By the end of the class you will be extremely comfortable with the basics of how to push these cars to 80%+ of their limit. After the first track session they slotted me in a group that better matched my ability and this really helped me gain confidence, especially after I participated in a ride along with Teresa (Theresa). I honestly didn't know that these street legal tires could hold up to that amount of speed in the corners until after said ride along. The Pirelli P Zero tires gave me extreme confidence while aggressively cornering. To sum things up, if you are looking for a driving school that truly let's you spend most of your time behind the wheel, this is it. On a side note, this track at Barber Motor Sports Park is amazing and the grounds surrounding the entire park looks like a top-tier golf course."

"Just returned from spending probably the most fun two days I have spent behind the wheel in 25+ years of racing, driving, instructing and sliding on most of the tracks throughout North America. The facilities are absolutely first rate, the cars are simply spectacular and the instruction and seat time that you experience are second to none. Barber Motorsports Park is a spectacular facility and after a relatively short but very informative classroom session, they take you to the track, show you the flow of the 2.38 mile 16 corner course and have you driving at speed in what seemed to be no time at all. They split you up in separate groups, some going to the track while others run very helpful and fun exercises, including a diabolical skid pad and high-speed autocross where you get the feel of just how far you can push the car before it breaks away. As I think back on it, I’m still amazed at how much seat time you get on the track while experiencing the other exercises including a short off-road deep-woods session in the Porsche Cayenne’s. The cars are exquisitely maintained and you are invited to drive almost everything in the fleet, including the amazing Porsche 911Turbo S. Driving hard lap after lap and never once did I get even the slightest hint of brake fade. Following a brief heel and toe shifting lesson you can also lap the track in 911’s equipped with manual transmissions - the purists loved that. They also rotate the instructors so you get some experience and information from their entire line of true professionals. In my opinion, bang for the buck, there is no better Experience to be had if driving fast in a safe, beautiful environment is what you’re looking for. The accommodations, hotel, food and of course the vehicles are all world class. Porsche along with Jeff Purner and Cass Whitehead have set the bar high for any other driving experience to try and come close. The hot laps at the end along with the tour of the most spectacular motorcycle and Lotus museum in the world is like sensory overload. I enjoyed every moment of them. If you don’t already drive a Porsche, I could almost guarantee that after this experience you will be shopping for one. For those that don’t have a fair amount of track time, try and find some or possibly take the one day course first because when you arrive for the two day performance course it is definitely “Game On”!"

"Wold class instruction at a world class facility. Cass Whitehead and the other instructors really want you to have fun but push you to improve from whatever starting point you bring to the class. To be able to drive Porsche's latest cars at a place like Barber Motorsports Park is something you must do if you love high performance cars. My driving skills improved significantly during the Performance 2 - Day Course. There is a great mix of track laps and skills development on the skid-pad and autocross course. I enjoyed it so much I went back a year later for the Masters 2 - Day Course. Everything from the first course came back to me quickly and after the open lapping sessions on day one I was feeling confident but had a lot of places to improve. Open lapping on Day 2 things really started to come together. I enjoy watching the HD Video of my laps from each session and comparing them to see how much faster and smoother I became throughout the course. The open lapping sessions during the Masters Class are really something special. Driving highly spec'd Porsche's with feedback on every lap you drive really is a great recipe for quick driver development. And it is a ton of fun! I would highly recommend this school for any level of driver. They have something for everyone and their instructors can make anyone a better driver. I also really enjoyed the accommodations at the Grand Bohemian Hotel. Very nice atmosphere and they really take care of the Porsche Sport Driving School attendees."
