About this event
This event is open to all solo drivers (Yellow can attend with the Chief Instructor’s permission) and enjoy a ton of track time)!
Limited to 45 drivers;
Open to all car types (NER DEs always allow non-Porsche drivers)
All PCA Driver Education requirements are in effect.
Before the event – All drivers should set personal goals for the three day event and be prepared to share those with the lead NER Instructors. In that way, we can assimilate your goals with a series of personalized in-car sessions.
During the event – PCA NER will have Calabogie’s head coach Francis Marquis for all 3 days. As in past years the event will consist of more track time than our normal events. Each day will have a minimum of 3 hours per day, but you will probably have the opportunity to drive even more, so be sure to bring extra tires. We will have on track “Drill Sessions” where drivers will share the track and can work on various aspects of both the track and driver training. These drill sessions include driver exercises such as passing skills, braking exercises, trail braking, corner entry and exit speed drills, etc. These sessions will be run at typical Yellow/Blue Run Group pace, and afford drivers a slower paced opportunity to work on their driving skills. Each driver will also receive 1:1 time directly with our coach for an on-track session.
The remaining track time during the day will be divided evenly between run group sessions where drivers can work at their own driving pace to work on their own goals. The format will be a cups and saucers format, with two 30 minute sessions each hour for faster and slower cars.
There will be a classroom each day during lunch (which will be locally catered!). These classes will be taught by the attending NER Instructors;
There will be a track walk at the end of the first day and a debrief when the track goes cold at the end of the first two days (liquid refreshments will be served). These sessions are designed to wrap up the day’s events and set goals for the following day.
Yes, Lunch will be provided each day, trackside.
