Our expert instructors are just as integral to the experience as our sports cars. They are knowledgeable when it comes to sport driving and just as passionate about Porsche as you are, and designed a curriculum for drivers of all skill levels.
When you're not on the track, you'll experience world-class meals, memorable accommodations, and all the beauty Quebec brings.
A Porsche is a precision instrument that reacts to every movement you make—steering, braking, accelerating—and puts it into action exactly.
Warm-up provides an introduction to sport driving and basic concepts aimed at developing your vehicle handling skills. You will receive coaching on the varying dynamics of the vehicle and how they apply to everyday driving. Understanding handling combined with controlled speed provides for a comfortable and smooth driving experience. Practice will consist of learning how to confidently initiate evasive actions and experience how slight differences in speed will affect the intensity of load changes. This simulation replicates the perfect driving conditions in which the car threatens to oversteer: a thrilling experience that you will be back for more.
Warm-up training is the ideal basis for Precision training.
The syllabus features an introduction to basic principles. The program also features a guided module where drivers can complete full laps of the circuit.

Precision
One-day course for first-time participants.
Your Porsche is like a precision instrument. It reacts to every steering movement you make and puts it into action exactly. If you consider it the other way around, this means that the more accurately you steer, the more control you will have and the safer your driving will be. And that is exactly what is practiced on this course. Precision training is the ideal basis for Performance training.
Training focuses on how to handle the car and basic driving safety. At the same time, attention is paid to the potential dangers of everyday road traffic. Particularly important factors here are learning to estimate speed and being able to react quickly. You will practice taking evasive action and experience the effect that even slight differences in speed can have on the intensity of load changes, gradually simulating driving conditions in which the car threatens to oversteer.
The syllabus features an extensive and well-founded teaching of basic principles—with individual commentation of the learning successes in sections. The program also features a guided module where drivers can complete full laps of the circuit. There’s plenty of time for practicing accurate steering, skillful braking, and careful acceleration.

You’ve successfully completed the Precision level? Then welcome to Performance training, the next step on your way to achieving the greatest possible performance. On this course we will teach you more driving tips and tricks and adapt your performance to the performance of your car. Expand your limits, no matter which Porsche model you are driving.
This driving safety course mainly concentrates on further improving your vehicle control. Participants should possess certain basic knowledge, such as how to find the most suitable seat position, develop optimum vision control, and respond correctly when the vehicle threatens to oversteer at low speeds. Then we increase the pace—and your safety at the wheel.
In addition to a theory session geared towards performance driving and advanced exercises on driver safety, the first day includes a chance to familiarize yourself with the respective sequence of bends and find the optimum line. Intensive sections aim at further improving your command of the car, lap after lap. Accurate and effective braking when entering a corner and avoiding unnecessary steering inputs are primarily a question of practice. One of the main on-road training modules is ‘lapping’—the opportunity to finely hone your skills over the entire circuit.
Porsche Track Experience instructors monitor your driving throughout and assess your progress at the end. However, here too, the emphasis is on improving your ability rather than driving at high speeds.
You must have completed a Performance training course before you can take part in the next level—the Master training.

At Porsche, constant further development applies to both car and driver. So, after several driver training courses with Porsche Track Experience, what’s the next level? Master. On this course you are supported by experienced professionals. Our Porsche Certified Instructors will accompany you through the whole program. All of the instructors are experienced in racing.
You are already an accomplished driver, so we don’t need to cover the basics. Instead, we can focus on showing you how to drive more independently and quickly find your way around the track without the aid of cones and instructors. Naturally, this also includes identifying and following the racing line. You’ll also discover how this can be developed further, still.
Training is conducted in small groups. You’ll also have plenty of time out on the track to put what you’ve learned into practice and continue to improve your skills—you’ll even receive one-on-one guidance on some laps of the circuit.
