About this event
On April 7th, the Porsche Club of America will host a Car Control Clinic at David Crockett High School in Jonesborough, TN. This unique, one-day course is designed to teach proper car control for everyday driving, enhancing safety and driving skills. We believe this event holds significant importance for the community as it offers invaluable insights into vehicle handling and dynamics, which can help prevent accidents and save lives.
This event is free but limited to 20 participants. Hurry up!
The clinic is open to everyone aged 18 and over with a valid driver's license. It is not limited to Porsche Club members or Porsche vehicles; any car owner can participate. We are happy to announce that the entry is free, but spaces are limited to only 20 participants. Our experienced Porsche Club of America Driver Instructors have tailored a program that includes a variety of practical exercises. Participants will learn throttle and brake control, emergency braking, collision avoidance, and how to handle their vehicle in skid situations. The event is designed to be engaging and educational, suitable for a broad range of driving abilities.
You should expect the following stations at the course:
- Skid pad: for skid control and throttle steering
- Corner: Early, mid, late apex and effect on corner exit
- Slalom: Shifting car inertia and looking ahead
- Intersection: Emergency braking and collision avoidance
Furthermore, for those seeking an exhilarating driving experience, we are also hosting an Autocross event immediately following the clinic. Autocross is an enjoyable, safe way to learn car handling at higher speeds within a competitive yet friendly environment. More details and registration for Autocross are available at https://msreg.com/WTRPCA-DCHS-6
