For drivers who want to get more out of a Porsche than a quick lap around the neighborhood, the Porsche Track Experience is growing its lineup for 2027 with two new programs built entirely around the 911 GT3. Porsche Cars North America will introduce the courses at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama. The additions include GT Drift, a half-day course focused on car control, and Masters GT, a three-day advanced program designed for experienced drivers. While Porsche's existing curriculum covers everything from introductory lessons to advanced track training, the 911 GT3 is at the center of it all.
The first new course, GT Drift, is aimed at drivers looking to better understand what happens when a car begins to slide. At $1,500 per driver, the half-day session starts with a classroom introduction to dynamics before moving onto the skid pad. From there, drivers work through exercises covering trail braking, vehicle rotation, and drifting techniques, all using the Porsche 911 GT3. Instead of jumping straight into high-speed laps, the course focuses on learning how weight transfer, steering inputs, and braking affect the car's behavior on and off track.
For drivers who have already completed Porsche's advanced training, Masters GT takes things even further. The invitation-only program is open to graduates of the Masters RS course and costs $23,000 for three days of instruction. The first day takes place at Barber's Proving Grounds, where participants work on advanced control before moving to the racetrack for the remaining two days. The schedule combines open lapping sessions with data analysis and one-on-one coaching, helping drivers understand where they can improve their technique and consistency.
Both new Porsche driving courses will be available exclusively at Barber Motorsports Park, which has hosted the Porsche driving school since 2003. Porsche Track Experience will also continue operating at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, California, where the program began in 2026. Existing courses will remain available at both locations, from one-day Precision programs to two-day Performance experiences and three-day Masters and Masters RS sessions. Depending on the course and location, participants can get behind the wheel of models including the 718 Cayman and Boxster GTS 4.0, 911 Carrera GTS, and 911 GT3.
