Sounds like it would be a good break. In the 2 day program, seems that it comes at the end anyway. SO, any takers? Get a few and we could even try to negotiate a group rate...

Been to all three PSDS courses. I can highly recommend it to anyone seeking to learn how to approach the limits of the cars safely and skillfully.

Superb by any measure. Do it.

I attended PSDS Performance Course in May, 4 + 5

Besides learning and improving my driving skills, I had a great time

Sure I'll be back for the Masters Course

Is it that different compared to the Performance Course ?

I also had a great time at the PSDS. My only complaint was the group I was in was slow. They tried to move people around but we had four out of six that just had no desire to push the car. The instructor would take off when one of the two of us got in behind him but would have to pull back to let the others catch up. The facility is first class as are the instructors. My first outing on the track I had Hurley Haywood as an instructor. He was also my heal and toe instructor. He also took us for a hot lap in the Turbo Cayenne, what a gas.

To garner favor with the Mrs. I sent her to the two day ladies only class. She had a ball and it sealed the deal on the C2S purchase! ;+)

Ross Bridge is a fantastic hotel with a beautiful golf course if interested as well as a Spa.

Next time I am going for the Masters and if I win the lottery I am doing the Legends class.

PSDS is awesome training for those of you with no track experiance or those with a year or so of seat time at the track.

There is a new nice Hampton Inn right at the track entrance. Very nice and clean and brand new. I stayed there back in March and got to sleep in later. The Ross Bridge Hotel is across town and 45+ minutes away from the track in Leeds. Guys in my group where complaining that it took the bus 1.5hrs to get back to the hotel after the day was over.

Hey mdrums, could you PM me the details on the hotel? Sounds like it is probably a lot cheaper than the $200/night they get at the Ross. Did you still go for the dinner at the Ross between the days? I guess you didn't have to worry about transfers to the track - you only needed to get to the airport. I'm probably going later in October, so I really appreciate the inside scoop on arrangements! Thanks.

I'm signed up to do PSDS on August 1-2 this year. I'm thinking of staying at the Hampton Inn. How did you get to and from the track each day (and to the dinner at the Ross Bridge Resort on the first night)? Did you rent a car? Cab?

Thanks!

I've been checking on the Master course and would probable do the same.

Renting a car looks like the best option.
