The Experience Center LA is a wonderful way to spend some time flogging a Porsche around with a professional instructor beside you. They are not set up to replace track days.
They provide an experience for everyone from corporate events, people who don't drive anything but the family hauler, to Porsche owners that want to hone their skills or burn up someone else's brakes and tires.
There are three wet modules, a low friction circuit (drifting), an auto cross area, an acceleration straight and the main handling circuit. You will get exposed to everything and spend more time on what you like the most. Lots of people that own Porsche's don't have the experience or want to push themselves or their rides hard and having a professional beside you explaining why things are happening with the car and yourself and making sure you are doing things correctly really helps build peoples confidence.
Their is an owners session once a month that you can bring your own Porsche (only) to, but is must have ABS and not be modified. The instructor will not ride along with you in your own car but will coach lead follow via radio.
In addition to all of that you can just go for a demo lap with a pro driving if you just want the sensations but don't want to drive.
I was an Instructor or Coach there for 5 years and certified to do demo laps. It is a great way to spend some time and the restaurant, sim lab and museum are worth the trip alone.
