I was there for the San Francisco event this past weekend. It was a blast. They take you through a brief orientation class and then off to 3 driving exercises:

1) An auto-cross in the new 2013 Boxster S
2) A back-to-back hard acceleration and hard braking exercise with either Cayenne S vs Cayenne Hybrid or Panamera S vs Panamera Hybrid
3) A longer "track" like course with Panamera GTS, 991 and 991S (follow the leader car driven by an instructor)

All cars are equipped with PDK.

Wow. Sounds like a fun time. How many people were there?

PWRS in San Diego

I have reservations for one of the sessions in San Diego (Sept 12). I'm really looking forward to it. Would love to hear more stories from folks who have already attended.

In my time slot, there were about 70-80 people.

I attended the one in Michigan about 6 weeks ago. It is was blast, and it was free. Well, sort of free-read below.

Previous to the Road Show I was perfectly happy with my Cayman. After driving the 991S on the track the experience was so good that I could not get it out of my mind. So I bought one 3 days ago

A wonderful machine!

I attended ours here in Washington @ "The Ridge Motorsports" track in Shelton; To say the least, it was a PHENOMENAL experience. I'll be staring a thread after this post.
