Great clip. Sending my son and son-in law for their Christmas present even though they don't drive Porsches until they can get mine away from me ... and that ain't soon. I will be going back for the third time in March. Great track, fantastic instructors and an absolutely professionally designed and executed combination of courses for all skill levels and interests.

That video makes me want to go again....damn those marketing people.
There was a time when I thought MJones was a PITA for espousing the merits of PSDS (then PDE). Then he convinced me to go....to three courses. THANKS BRIAN!
If you're feeling a bit bored with your p-car and considering going down the DE road, this is a wonderful place to start. If you're an accomplished track rat, there's still much to gain from their instructors.
And like the PCA motto says, PSDS follows with "It's not the cars, it's the people." Then again, you get to drive 911, Boxsters, Caymans and even a Cayenne.

Sure wish they'd start offering some of the other handling classes I keep reading about them doing in the UK.
I loved the class I took, very enjoyable & I learned a lot. My only complaint was that (as a first time Porsche owner) I wanted a little more wet skidpad time (like 10 minutes) to get a feel for the rear engine's weight & couldn't get it. Offered to give up some track time for a bit more skidpad time, but they said no. That's kept me from going back, & they're only 2 hours away.......

PS- Funny, they didn't let us drive the Turbos on the skidpad exercise as shown in the video...lol
(not that I would have preferred that...haha). But driving the Turbos on the track was a frikken' hoot. Much more progressive and linear power delivery than I might have thought.
