Did some searching but couldn't come up with anything besides both being must have experiences! I'm flying out to Atlanta later this month and have the chance to visit the PEC there. However, I'm also in CA so going down to PECLA isn't an issue for me either. Does anyone have first hand experience or anectodical feedback on each facility? ATL just opened their new track but there aren't any bookings available that I'm interested in at the moment so that won't be a factor for me this time around.

Wondering if I should visit the ATL facility since it's considered the "official" headquarters or whether I should go to PECLA for a similar experience. Bookings in ATL are pretty limited too this late in the game so I'd imagine being able to secure better experiences down the line for PECLA with better planning (more car choices, extended sessions, etc.). Any feedback is appreciated as I plan on booking my experience this week!

Hi there!

Both have a lot to offer and are a great entry point for general driving instruction. If you want the full "brand experience" I would recommend the Atlanta location including a visit to the Heritage Center one floor down from the main lobby. If you can time a visit in Los Angeles with one of the Cars and Coffee (Morning Shift) events you won't be disappointed, and have a reserved space in the lot after booking a drive program. If you are already visiting Atlanta, I recommend booking lunch at their Restaurant 356 and walking around after to check the place out. For the Atlanta HQ you need to make reservations to get through security at the front gate smoothly, in LA you can walk in any time they are open.

For the driving programs, they have a lot of overlap with exercises at both facilities. With the new West course in Atlanta they will be even more similar size/driving wise. Los Angeles has a bigger plot and slightly more runoff room around the driving circuit but since it is geared more to novice/intermediate drivers it isn't a factor.

Cheers.

Agree with “shayes121”…….we have been to both PECs…..Atlanta is definitely my preference, We have done two Deliveries in Atlanta ….April 2019 #841. And last week March 31st #1860 both afternoon sessions.

My son and his wife said last week “This is like Christmas morning…this place is magical”! After reviewing the new 2024 pricing the Experience will become more expensive.

Thank you both for the feedback, these were exactly the answers I was hoping for! I'll share my experience at ATL as well and hopefully others will find this thread just as informative as I did.

P.S. Gorgeous GTS, wdr911!
