Tom,

If you ever wanted to drive your Porsche the way it was meant to be driven, without actually racing, then DE is for you.  As a beginner, you would be put in the green run group.  You would then get to run 4 sessions per day during a weekend event, on a real track, with complex turns and straights (Pocono, Summit Point, Watkins Glen, etc.).  There will be a certified instructor in your passenger seat every step of the way.  As a student progresses, he can advance to higher level run groups and even be permitted to drive without an instructor.  Drivers Ed is not like racing.  You can pass other drivers, but only if they permit you with a waive, and only on a straigt.  This is why it is much safer than racing, where the goal is to prevent passing.  There are some drivers ed materials that can be copied from the Riesentoter website.

 

This of course is a simplified summary.  Like Graham, I recommend you attend the snidely wiplash event which is described on the website.

 

Good Luck,
Aaron Moore
