Question Porsche Driving Experience Course

Have any of you guys taken the Porsche 2 day advanced driving course in Atlanta. Is it worth going to. I have some track experience but not much.

Bruce - The Porsche Driving Experience is now based at the Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, AL. Went in May 04 and could not have been more pleased. First class facility (much nicer than RA), top drawer people and 911's for every student.

if i am correct, there have been those who have had warranty repair refused due to participation in PDE days, as you've now used your car on a track.

Maas,
Sorry, but that sounds like BS to me. I can understand the insurance companies not wanting to insure your car on the track. Car .companies like Porsche both support and advocate the PCA as well as other driving experiences including their own Porsche Driving Experience to promote their cars and motorsport. I'd like to hear which dealership did this.

Now I see how people screw up when posting a reply.

At PDE they supply the cars. You do not use your own car.

Now at DE (driver education) events you usually do use your own car.
