Fantastic driver training video by Matt Farah

M-Supra · 09-26-2018, 11:19 AM

My buddy Matt went to the new LA Porsche Driving Center and took the new advanced driver course in a 991.2 GT3.

This video shows how crucial it is to learn how your car behaves at extremely low (safe) speeds on a slick surface. A lot of this training can be replicated on a rainy day at everyone's closest open large parking lot (don't need to pay Porsche tax).

The M2 is a very snappy, high tq, short wheelbase, fun machine and a lot of owners are getting bit by slow hands not correcting oversteer in a timely fashion. This low speed, slick training will teach you exactly how your car will behave at higher dry track speeds and make you a much more confident/skilled driver.

That was cool.

That poor drivers just trying to teach him stuff and Matts interrupting/talking over him every 5 seconds.

Guy needs to learn how to take the cotton out of his ears and put it in his mouth.

Interesting video. I know what he's talking about because that's driving in the northeast in the winter.

I thought exactly the same thing...Matt treated it more like one of his car reviews rather than a learning experience. Still a great video though.

I thought that was a little weird also, but still liked the video. The instructor was patient and he's someone I'd want training me if I had the chance. Matt Farah did say that this was a four hour session, so a lot of footage we didn't see. I can't say for sure, but I would think he wasn't doing that the entire time when the cameras were not recording.
