Porsche Performance Driving School
Booked now for June 19-20 to do the Porsche Performance Driving School at Barber Motorsport Park. It was a surprise 50th birthday gift from my wife and 2 sons. Anyone here ever do that school or that track?

Well folks, I just finished up the Porsche Performance Driving Sohool at Barber Motorsports Park and can say, aside from the money I spent buying my Porsche a few years back it was the best car related investment I have made. The school is VERY well run, the teachers very knowledgable and capable, in class teaching and in driving. Got to drive the 2012 Carrera S many times in both PDK and manual on the track, the 2013 Boxster S on track and autocross, the Cayman on the slalom and for heel-toe braking, as well as the Panamera Turbo on the autocross. What a way to spend 2 days! Highly recommend and will be doing more myself....

Bill's911, did the same thing back in 2005. A present from my wife for my 50th as well. What a fantastic 2 day course. Had a blast. And what a great track.
