You know, why buy a Porsche if you don't know how to drive it? And by driving, I mean, driving it very fast.
Oh, yes, because there are these laws called speed limits. And those laws are enforced by cameras (in the UK and other countries) that take unflattering, yet undeniably identifying, photos of you while you are engage in doing so.

So, hereby, Porsche gives you the Porsche Driving Experience Centre. A place where new Porsche buyers in the UK and Ireland can go to "learn" how to drive (that is; drive a Porsche really fast around a track that is kept free of obstructing objects for you to crash into.) The newly opened center sits next to the Silverstone Grand Prix track in Northamptonshire and contains a 3.1 km long track for new Porsche drivers to take a spin around.

A £100 "wellness assessment" is also available for those who want to make sure they can handle the vigors of driving fast. This includes measuring blood glucose, cholesterol, blood pressure and lung function. For £349, Porsche Human Performance will provide you with a series of even more creepily intrusive medical examinations to see if you are fit to race. But F1 wannabes beware, this may involve a colonoscopy.

 

That is very

 

This use to be held at Millbrook proving ground (where Fifth Gear and Top Gear do a lot of their pieces now), and by all accounts the Silverstone center is nowhere near as good as Millbrook is.

I have been to Millbrook 3 times myself (demo 997 C2S + my old C2S Cab + demo Turbo) and it's like 6-Flags with cars - SO MUCH FUN. I have no interest at all in the Silverstone 'experience'.

 

Oh man, I'd hate to be the one cleaning that Cayenne afterwards.

 

Thats a great program. We can only hope they bring something like that to the states.
