It seems that starting in 2020, a new Level 8 to Level 10 program will be added to the above 7 levels. My husband has been a Porsche owner for several years now.Started with Level 1 Warm Up and now taking the Level 6 Master course.This is the process that is underway.
By the way, I took WarmUP+, a half-day program held in conjunction with the Porsche event, and will be taking Level 2 Precision next month in November.
Improvement of driving skills
My husband doesn't usually race on the track, nor does he aspire to be a racer.Why would anyone take a level 6 Master?...and when I asked him why, he said something like this.
While on the track at a driving event, the "Many people drive without the basics.I felt that I had to do something.Including myself, of course.The more reckless and aggressive they seem to be in their driving, the less time they get.
But I watched an F1 race a long time ago.Top class racers were driving crazy smooth.It was a shock to me. Schumacher's driving in particular was clearly different from the others, even for an amateur. He was so smooth around the corners. AndTo drive that smoothly, the foundation must be solid.So, I had already decided to take a Porsche driving school when I bought a Porsche.
I've driven on the circuit in Performance, but I'm looking forward to learning more about it in Master.
And.
I see... I'm going to say "But why do you want to master it so much if you're not going to race?When I hear the word
I genuinely want to be able to drive well.I want to be able to drive fast and not overload the car. I want to be able to drive fast without putting a load on the car. I want to be able to drive smoothly and fast, without doing anything that is too sudden. If I can do that, I will be able to drive faster on the circuit than I am now, and I will also be able to drive nicely and fast on ordinary roads, won't I?
And.
I see. So what happens when that happens? What happens after you get good at driving? (I asked further.
When you drive well, it feels good to drive. Also, you can drive in a way that is kind to the car. Also.If I'm going to do something, I want to do it to the end.I want to go all the way to the top. If I am going to do something, I want to go to the top. On the other hand, if I am not interested in something, I will not touch it.
And. I see. Well, my husband was like that (laughs).
I, on the other hand, have no intention of going to that extreme, but I will be accompanying the Master Course as a companion, so I will definitely observe the program. However, rain is in the forecast again... (-_-)

Trackbacks are closed.
Good, I totally agree.
I believe that knowing how a car behaves at the limit and driving on a circuit is directly related to safe driving on public roads.
This will make driving more friendly to both the car and its passengers, and it will also help prevent accidents.
I, too, am determined to work hard every day until I get my license back.
I look forward to your report again.

Thank you!
I laugh because you already say exactly the same thing as my husband (laughs).
I'm like, "Why would I go there to learn if I'm not going to drive like crazy on the track?" I think.
That is not how it works, is it?
I will report on the PTE as soon as possible.
(Probably torrential rain...)
