MASTERS PLUS: Three-day Advanced Course ($6,000)

The ability to know where the limits are and to comfortably control the car at the limit is what separates an amateur from a professional. This program focuses on two areas. First, an emphasis on the development of car control skills and learning to drive a car at the limits of adhesion and secondly seat time on the track, where the fundamentals of performance driving are refined. Participants will develop ad-vanced skills in how to optimize the vehicle at the limits. Further refining the ability to understand vehicle dynamics, such as how to get out of an oversteer or learn

how to control a perfect drift is experienced. Extensive practice is received in how to interact steering and throttle control to create and maintain drifts and how to induce and control trail brake rotation for increased confidence on the track. On the track, in addition to the Carrera S participants will experience the GT3 and 911 Turbo S. The focus on track sessions is to enable them to practice and hone skills.
