Classic Driver: Porsche Driving Experience impressions from Silverstone

[Bartek S.]

The only thing wrong with the new Porsche Driving Experience at Silverstone is that not everybody will be able to do it, writes Tony Dron. By its very nature, only the élite among private motorists will get to discover its secrets, going away afterwards with a much clearer idea of car control and what the latest Porsche traction control and stability systems can do to help. Attending a day like this is fun, without doubt, but if only all drivers had to graduate through such a course, our roads would be very much safer.

Situated directly beside the Hangar Straight on Silverstone’s Grand Prix circuit, the all-new Porsche Driving Experience has been built on the site of the former WRC special stage arena. There are panoramic views of the new Porsche test tracks and of the main Silverstone circuit from the roof terrace, as well as from the 100-seat restaurant inside the architecturally innovative main building. This building also houses a Porsche display area, private meeting rooms and a highly advanced Human Performance Centre.
