WELCOME.The Porsche Sport Driving School
has been providing training based on
a clear philosophy: you tell us your
driving goal and we ensure that you
achieve it.
All of our courses comply with the
same high standards, so you can
confidently choose to participate in
our cars, or your own car.
Working through the various training
levels, you can finesse your driving
style step by step, from the basics of
vehicle control to professional driving
skills. Maximum performance is about
more than horsepower and torque
alone. To harness raw power, you not
only need advanced technology,
you also need a solid repertoire of
driving techniques. To push the limits,
you firstly have to explore your own.
All of our programs have the same
goal in mind: handing over the reins
to you and showing you how to use
them. It’s no wonder, therefore, that
many of our participants have one
wish at the end of their training, to do
it all again.
You can see our latest offers and view
all of the dates and prices on our
website. Or please call us for further
detailed information.

Engineered for high performance
on a racetrack and with the kind
of responsiveness, intelligence
and emotional power that simply
demands to be used, as every
owner knows, a Porsche is unlike
any other car on the road.
Knowledge is Power & Safety.
We believe the more knowledge
owners have of their cars, the
more excitement they get out of
the experience of driving them.
And, importantly, the more
safely they will drive.
A small amount of learning, in
safe driving conditions, can
open up a whole new world of
experience which the limitations
of ordinary driving conditions
will never reveal.
Your Porsche is a high
performance sports car, built
to be driven well. This is a
short course in understanding
its potential. It has also been
devised to help you, as a
Porsche driver, react better
in both day-to-day situations
and emergencies. On each
course, we are able to simulate
(in safety) the kind of situation
which may arise in a crisis –
For which you may have had no
‘hands-on’ experience.
The courses also tackle the
less spectacular, but no less
important, day-to-day issues such
as throttle control and steering
skills. On these days, the dynamic
potential of your Porsche can
be exploited in safety, without
the restrictions of normal road
conditions, or the worry of other
road users. It is a wonderful
opportunity to safely explore
the potential of your Porsche,
under the watchful eye of highly
experienced and qualified Porsche
instructors.

Camp4SA course lasting several daysfor intermediate participants
• Duration: five days, three days of driving
• Porsche Driving Centre, Levi, Finland (fly to Kittilä Airport)
• No. of participants: max. 50• Driver training course in
Porsche 911 Carrera S vehicles with 1.5-mm spikes (two persons per vehicle)
• Training content: mix of section training and handling courses

Learning how to stay in controlhas rarely been such an emotional experience.
Camp4S is aimed at intermediate drivers looking to improve their driving on snow and ice. With 1.5-mm spikes on each tyre, you’ll learn how to handle a Porsche on black ice and snow, in some of the most demanding situations.
Snow and ice are the perfect surfaces on which to seriously improve your vehicle control.
A huge amount of practice is necessary before a driver instinctively feels how to react correctly. This is why you spend as much time as possible behind the wheel.
After a brief revision of the basics, new training units are covered. Here, the aim is to optimise your vehicle control and to find the racing line even on low-traction surfaces. Every day, the Porsche Driving Experience instructors analyse your learning success.
And then there is the serious fun of harnessing these new skills to let your Porsche off the leash, on pure fields of snow and ice. Under professional guidance, you learn a variety of specific drift techniques and practise these on specially prepared handling courses.
After completing this course, you’ll never be glad to see the end of Winter again.

The best way to make the learning curve steeper?On long drifts.
On our Ice-Force training course, the focus is on how to find and follow the racing line on an ice-covered circuit. With all-wheeldrive and 4-mm spikes on each tyre, you’ll experience incredible lateral acceleration on snow and ice. The theory session provides a solid foundation for the practical training. In addition to stabilisingbraking techniques, the most
important aspect of driving on the ice circuit is knowing how to steer correctly.
The training also includes heel-
and-toeing and using advanced
load-changing responses for
safer cornering. Take to the
handling courses with or without
electronic driving aids to see what
a difference they can make.
Porsche instructors explain the
basic laws of physics as they
apply to driving and vehicle
handling.
Training is conducted in small
groups to ensure that the
instructors have sufficient time to
devote to you and your individual
training success. The course is
the ideal opportunity to improve
and augment your driving skills
under professional guidance.
The facility’s extremely spacious
handling courses stretch for miles
and offer plenty of scope for long
drifts as well as the height of
driving pleasure.
