ADVANCED PERFORMANCE
DRIVING PROGRAM
TAKING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL
If you want to take your driving
ability to the next level, the Advanced Performance Driving (APD)
program is the answer.
There is a great deal more to the
high performance driving experience than getting to a race track and
going fast. You need to learn why your car does the things it does, some
good… some not so good. We were all taught that Vipers do not brake and
turn well simultaneously. This class goes into more detail about how to
handle these amazing automobiles than you ever thought you could learn
in a few days. The APD program offered by The Performance Driving
School is a very intense program, with both classroom (8-9 hours on
Thursday) and in-car instruction on Friday; Saturday and Sunday will be
individual practice with selective in car instruction. Sunday afternoon
is the verbal, and driving final exams and the crew chief debrief
session. Make sure both you and your car are ready for the experience of
a lifetime as the APD will take you both to the limit.
I would highly recommend this program
to any one who is interested in getting the most out of their high
performance vehicle. Make an investment in your knowledge and driving
skills to take you to the next level.

the areas of car preparation and setup, track protocol, practice
techniques, safety, and nutrition to maximize overall high performance
driving proficiency.
