Performance Driving School (PDS) in San Diego

The San Diego region of PCA is having one of its semi-annual PDS Sept.23-25

If you have never done a PDS, it is probably the best $$ and time you can spend in a Porsche. You will be amazed at how great our cars are and how well they perform

The San Diego PDS is known as one of the best in the country

There are only a few slots left

SDR is one of the most active PCA regions and puts on some of the best events in the country

IMHO it is well worth traveling a bit for the PDS. You will not only have too much fun, you will leave with amazing confidence on driving your car. It is more than just a car control clinic. You get lots of 1 on 1 instruction from some of the best instructors anywhere.

Friday night is a 2-3 hour classroom chalk talk that goes over the mechanics of driving and what will be covered on Sat and Sun. All day Sat are driving exercises including a lot of time on a wet skid pad as well as things like threshold braking. On Sunday you put it all together with a non-competitive autocross designed by some of the best AX course designers around. You also get to ride in the instructors cars including some full race prepped cars.

My younger son did the PDS last March and my older son will be taking the PDS this time as it it so worthwhile. Next time will be my wife.
