Porsche Driving Academy, Drive your own car £165 half a day
Discussion
Just been on the Porsche website and come across this one.
They have a driving academy that offers tuition, and use of their facilities at Silverstone for a few hours driving, and at the end of the day 30 mins driving a 911. Seems prety good value and the kick plate looks worth it alone.

and this is the info from the web page.
Developed and run by Porsche at the purpose built Experience Centre at Silverstone, the Driving Skills Academy offers the opportunity to gain a better understanding of your personal driving ability as well as the handling characteristics of your own vehicle.
The academy is designed to be a centre of excellence for driver development and the unique Porsche tracks allow drivers to recreate challenging scenarios in a safe and controlled environment.
The Ultimate Learning Curve
The course is taken in your own vehicle, which doesn’t have to be a Porsche, providing it is road legal. Unlike a traditional track day, the low friction surfaces ensure that there will be negligible wear and tear on your vehicle.
The day is broken down into four modules, Practical, Theory, Human Performance and Assessment:
* Practical - Understand your own cars handling characteristics on the unique low friction surfaces. You will be led by a Porsche Driving Consultant to the Kick Plate and Ice Hill area then briefed on skid correction and car control. You will then have the opportunity to explore your own vehicle beyond the grip threshold.
* Theory – Coached by several of the country’s leading Driving Consultants this session will cover the psychological and cognitive skills required to make everyday driving more enjoyable without impeding safety.
* Human Performance - Test your reaction speed and vision in our state-of-the art laboratory. In the same way that race car technology filters into road cars, let our team of sports scientists give you an MOT so that you can compare your performance to that of your vehicle.
* Assessment – Accompanied by a Porsche Driving Consultant you will drive the latest Porsche 911 on our Handling Circuit. You will be offered feedback to maximise your potential behind the wheel.
Two sessions are available, morning and afternoon, attendance on the course costs £165 per person, additional non-driving guests are welcome if pre-booked at a cost of £30 per person and are limited to one non-driving guest. Your guest will be able to accompany you during the Practical and Theory sessions as well as enjoying the views of the Porsche Test Track from the restaurant or roof terrace.
Complimentary refreshments are available throughout the day, you also have the option of booking a three course lunch in the Porsche Restaurant for £18.50 per person.
