I certainly plan to do some Silverstone driving course. Been recommended some.
Does your local Porsche Club have autocross at the Silverstone or other tracks?

I think autocross is a tremendous learning format in that you are not really learning to drive smoothly, although that is important, instead the point is to learn what the braking and grip limits of the platform are. How much you toss the car before the next turn without it costing you time/exit speed -- the quickest way from A to B. For the real world, as far as crash avoidance is concernend, that is priceless. And good autocross drivers make for good track drivers which in turn make for the best road drivers.
