Driver's Education (DE)

   

Driver’s education events offer the perfect chance for car lovers to learn more about performance driving.

What is Driver’s Education?

Rally Sport Region’s driver’s education is nothing like the driving classes you had in high school (or perhaps through the Sears Driving School). RSP's DEs offer you the chance to learn advanced driving techniques on a real race track. DEs take place over the course of a day or weekend, pairing drivers of all levels with certified instructors and allowing them to experience driving at speed. Our sessions are a safe and challenging way for you to experience driving a Porsche the way it was meant to be driven. If you love your car and have always wanted to learn more about driving technique, join us!

 

When you participate in Rally Sport Region DEs you get...

  • An experienced PCA instructor (who in many cases is a current or former race driver) assigned to you for the duraction of the course. You’ll develop a relationship that will allow you to apply and refine what you learn on and off the track.
  • Two or more classroom sessions covering proper driving technique. The classes offer plenty of time to ask questions.
  • Four hands-on driving sessions (“runs”) on the track. No need to worry about people being faster/slower than you; you will be assigned to a group according to your experience and ability.
  • “Hot Laps”: the option to ride in your instructor’s car or have the instructor drive your car at speed.  This is a great way to see firsthand what a car can do.
  • Breakfast, lunch and beverages are included and supervised by RSP Treasurer/chef extraordinaire Burghard Linn.
  • If needed, a free loaner helmet.
  • A guaranteed relaxed, collegial and fun atmosphere!

To attend a DE, you don’t need to join RSP (although we'd love to have you as a member!). Simply fill out the application to the event of your choice (see below), have your car inspected, and you’re ready to run.
