Announcing the Annual
Carlsen Porsche GGR Beginner Autocross School!!!!!!!!!
It will happen on Saturday June 22, 2019. It is really for beginners or people who have autocrossed only a few times. If you have ever wondered what it is like to experience driving your Porsche on the edge (but safely in control) then this is for you. This is a good safe place for drivers to learn about the handling of their Porsche.
The school will be on the large North runway area of the old Alameda NAS. The day begins at 7:30 AM with registration, teching of cars, and then a driver’s meeting at 8:15. Students will then walk the course of orange traffic cones with their instructors. After that, students will be driving on skidpads in order to learn the feel of an oversteering and an understeering car. It is a lot of fun!! The day will proceed with students running the Autocross course with their instructors, while the other half of the students learn to work the course. Then switch groups.
After the lunch break we continue to run cars in hour sessions until 5 PM. It is truly a fun day with lots of learning. One of the best parts is that students can get a ride in their instructor’s car.
The school is sponsored by Carlsen Porsche Redwood City. They are a Premier Porsche Dealer located at 3636 Haven Ave, Redwood City, CA 94063. Their phone is 650-701-9200. They can help you get the best Porsche to fit your needs. In addition to new, they have Certified Pre-owned vehicles. Their service department is top rated.
You can practice your new skills at the next regular GGR Autocross. Check PCA-GGR.ORG for the schedule. There will be a regular GGR Autocross on Sunday June 23 at Alameda.
If you sign up and pay the $125 fee, you get:
- Instruction from the best and most experienced instructors in the west!! (Really)
- A lunch including sandwiches, chips, cookies, sodas and water.
