Porsche Track Experience

Precision is an essential part of building a Porsche. It’s also the key to driving one – especially at a higher level. This day is designed to help you attain this level of accuracy, providing you with the ideal preparation to move through our programs. Aimed at first time participants and those who want to build and refresh their knowledge, it teaches you the fundamentals of vehicle control, with practise sessions taking place at the Mt Cotton Training Centre - a safe environment for simulating the kind of hazardous situations you may face in everyday traffic at various speeds.

Training Objective

Here’s where the fun of driving a Porsche can really start. Once you have a solid foundation of basic driving dynamics and responding correctly to critical scenarios is second nature, you can really start to spread your Porsche wings.

Duration

One day

Location

Mt Cotton Training Centre, Cornubia Queensland

Requirements

Full driver’s licence (P-Plates accepted)

Vehicles

Cayman, Cayman S, Boxster, Boxster S, 911 Carrera, 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet, 911 Carrera 4 GTS, Panamera 4S, CayenneGTS, Macan Turbo
Demonstration: Cayenne S Diesel Platinum Edition, Macan GTS

Training Content

• Correct seating position, steering and vision control
• High speed ABS emergency braking and accident avoidance
• Introduction to the racing line
• Load-changing scenarios
• Understeer and oversteer
• Slalom and handling section
• Efficient use of the Electronic Stability System
• Closed road circuit lapping
• Driving style assessment
• Passenger ride in Macan GTS
• Cayenne off-road four wheel drive experience (demonstration)

Building on the skills learned in previous training, under expert instruction, you will learn how to approach and tackle corners accurately and with speed on a closed road circuit, practise taking evasive action and experience the effect that even slight differences in speed can have on the intensity of load changes. Practising accurate steering, skilful braking and careful acceleration you will learn how to drive more safely, even off the beaten track. A course on the dedicated off-road four wheel drive experience offers steep declines and ascents, rough terrain and unfeasible side slopes, allowing the Cayenne to conquer the toughest obstacles.

When you’ve completed Precision and Precision Plus, this day brings to life Intelligent Performance behind the wheel of a Porsche at Queensland Raceway. Individual instruction concentrates on vehicle control at higher speeds, using the correct racing lines and introducing trail braking with full lapping. Focusing on specific driving skills, lap after lap, improves vehicle command. While accurate and effective corner braking and avoiding unnecessary steering inputs provide the practice essential to finely tune skills. Here you can familiarise yourself with the respective sequence of bends and find the optimum line before progressing to the Master and GT3 Cup.

Training Objective

Develop knowledge of driving dynamics and one-on-one instruction with emphasis on vehicle control at higher speeds using the correct racing lines.

Training Content

• Correct steering and vision control
• Finding and following the racing line
• Efficient use of the Electronic Stability System
• Minimising unwanted load-changing reactions
• Slalom and handling section
• Individual laps with one-to-one coaching at high speed
• Introduction of trail braking

A Porsche is, quite simply, made for the track and this is where you can finely hone your skills to utilise its full potential. With the help of one-on-one coaching and sophisticated technology (electronic data is analysed and de-briefed by engineers), you will receive all the training you need to achieve competence in correct steering into corners and learn how to work the accelerator and brake pedals for optimum response.
