Best advanced driving course

[tRoN]

So I want to do one of these.

Couldn't find any with Porsche....maybe I'm wrong
I know merc and BMW always offer them.

Which one is the best?
Always wanted to do an oversteer maneuver like Chris Harris

Anyone been. Feedback appreciated.

Depends on what you are looking for. A couple of years back I did the VW one. Skidpan, lunch and then a decent amount of laps around Kayalami. They teach you oversteer, understeer, turn the driver aids off, handbrake turns....and let you ruin their tyres.

Lots of fun. Not sure how it rates compared to other courses though.

Seeing that porsche has bought Kyalami that would be my first stop?

Was supposed to go but that somehow never happened. I'd suggest going with whichever one is closest to your daily driving car.

Porsche will def have something I'd imagine

I trained with these guys in 83 - brilliant - same instructions that are given to the British Police.

The Porsche one last year was lots of fun, but it was more track racing than advanced skills (skiing and skidding is generally discouraged)

Looking at mainly high performance driving

Can try to get the best of both worlds.
Who provided the course ? Where ?
Any details.

This is what I'm looking for.
But there doesn't seem to be a Porsche specific one. AMG, BMW and as you say VAG

Yes, and that's what he'll give you.

I went on to be an instructor for Porsche - you don't have to be instructed in a Porsche, however, in order to learn how to drive one fast and safely.
