Renaissance Ross Bridge Golf Resort & Spa is the host hotel for the Porsche Driving Experience.
They pick up / drop off at the airport and shuttle you back and fourth to the track.

Thanks Mjones. Didn't see the link but called the Wynfrey and they referred me to the Ross. All is booked and set rain or shine I am there Nov. 9 & 10.

Robert, you are going to have an absolutely fabulous time. PDE is the best investment you can put into your Porsche. It should be beautiful in Birmingham in November.

Bob in NY

I had a great experience today at the PDE in Birmingham. Instructors were great, the track was fantastic! I drove a Carrera, Cayman, Boxster S and a Cayenne Turbo. If anyone is siiting on the fence you should sign up for this program, even if you don't own a Porsche (yet) You get an opportunity learning how to drive on a track, motorcross, improve your driving skills overall and put Porsches finest through the best test drive you will never get on the street. What a great day!!

I'm going back
September 28-29

Trying to talk the wife into booking me for my birthday present. Do you know if they have any Tiptronic cars there. I can;t shift because of the loss of my left leg and my prosthetic will not allow me to push a clutch.
thanks, Mike

Are you doing the Masters course?

As former B'ham resident, I would also endorse Bottega and Highland Grill. Simply superb and is some of the best food in the south.

Another B'ham resident here. Let me throw out two more restaurants. Hot and Hot Fish Club, which is right around the corner from Bottega and Highland Bar and Grill. And if you like sushi, Jinsei in homewood (the new SoHo development). As good or better than anything I have had (I've lived in Manhattan and eaten just sushi in most major US cities) outside Japan (conincidentally, they fly everything in fresh daily from Japan).

Yes it will be the "Masters" course!
Thats where the fun is!
Barber Motorsports is such a fun track to drive.


If you have never done the Masters, consider doing so!!

PogueMoHone

He could teach the Master's Course at this point. Rumor has it that he has his own individual car there as well, specially tweeked, and "racing gas and tire guage " provided gratis!
