Porsche Young Driver Experience

Safety and driver preparedness are our top goals with the Porsche Young Driver Experience. Starting with a brief classroom session, drivers experience both the 911 and Taycan during five, 30-minute exercises, designed to simulate real-world challenges. A dedicated Porsche Drive Coach is along for every minute of the program, offering tailored instruction to help young motorists mature into roadworthy stars.

PYDE TRACK MODULES

Dynamics Pad

Offers a safe and open space for drivers to experience ABS braking, evasive lane-change maneuvers and handling exercises while honing their skills behind the wheel.

PYDE TRACK MODULES

Ice Hill

This 7% downhill slick surface is the perfect environment for honing car control, weight transfer, ABS braking and car balance skills in ice, snow and rain conditions.

PYDE TRACK MODULES

Kick Plate

A hydraulically-actuated plate pushes the car sideways across a low friction surface, forcing the driver to react, correct and recover. With speeds no greater than 30 mph, drivers will develop car feel, car control and reactionary skills on the Kick Plate.

PYDE TRACK MODULES

Low-Friction Circle

Drivers will learn to recognize, control and recover from both understeer and oversteer on the wet polished concrete surface. Weight transfer, driver inputs, vision, patience and smoothness are the focus of the Low-Friction Circle.

PYDE TRACK MODULES

Low-Friction Handling Circuit

The tight and twisty Low-Friction Handling Circuit provides the perfect environment for a busy, slow speed and confusing course aimed at distracting the driver's attention to demonstrate how concentration is paramount when driving.
