Sports cars are ace. They offer the best dynamics, the quickest acceleration, the sexiest looks and the most roadcred. But what use is all of that if you can't handle the thing? This is where places like the Porsche Sport Driving School come in really handy...
The PSDS offers Porsche drivers (and non-Porsche drivers, but they have to hire one) the opportunity to spend up to three days learning how to properly drive their cars. You can undergo three levels of training at the Porsche Experience Centre at Silverstone -- Precision, Performance and Master. They take one, two and three days respectively and can take you from being a beginner to being pretty damn tasty behind the 'wheel. We were invited to have a go at the Precision course.
Porsche's Experience centre at Silverstone is a wonderful facility. It can be used to simulate bad weather, ultra-slippery conditions, varying grip-levels or simply a lovely day's drive. The course also gives you access to the legendary Silverstone Grand Prix circuit for an hour a day during your training. That's a pretty sweet deal.
There are many areas to play on at the experience centre: the ice hill (guess what that simulates), the kick plate (which forces you into a spin), low-friction circuit (the name says it all) and the handling circuit. Each can be used to hone your skills further and further, taking them to new heights and giving you something that only really dedicated driver training can give you: confidence behind the wheel.
Porsche's instructors are top notch. They all know the ins and outs of handling -- not just in a 'man down the pub wot once J-turned his Escort' kinda way. Nope, they're race drivers. You know, bona fide professional drivers.
