If all goes well, I am picking up a Cayman this weekend. I have been driving for 20 years (God I am getting old), including sports cars, but I would like to take some training from someone who knows.
Are there any good entry-level performance driving classes in GA? I want the best value. I come from a background in the shooting sports, so I know sometimes the most expensive classes aren't necessarily the best. So, experts, please point me to a good nuts n' bolts performance driving class.
Skip Barber runs both a Racing School and High Performance Driving School at Road Atlanta. It's not cheap - about $3K for a weekend - but probably well worth it if you can afford it.
I took the Audi Driving Experience course at Road Atlanta several years ago, and thought it was worth the $$.
Also, you might want to check Roebling Road Raceway in Savannah to see if they run any schools.
And don't forget that you can also join the PCA and attend one of the many DE (Driver's Ed) events they hold in the region every year (and that way you get to drive your car on the track ).
Congrats on your new Cayman and Welcome to the Club!

The one day Porsche Sport Driving school at Barber outside Bham is great but pricey at about $2800. Instruction is top notch and you spend most of the day in a car. They only use base 911s on the track. KS-CS probably gave you the best advice, the Peachstate DE at Road Atl in August cost $365 by comparison. Haven't had that experience but I plan on DEs and Autocross regulary in the PCA....Rod

The Coastal Region PCA will have a Drivers Ed at Carolina Motorsports Park (CMP) on September 20-21. And, "The Dark Side" will have a Drivers Ed on November 8-9, 2008, at Roebling Road Raceway in Bloomingdale, Georgia. Both would be worthwhile. Usually the cost is about $200-250 for two days. All you need is a helmet, but if you don't want to spring for another $400 or so, I'm sure you could get a loaner there.
