Unleash Your Porsche’s Potential
Driver Education Events on the Midwest’s Fastest Tracks
Experience the thrill of driving your Porsche as it was meant to be driven.
Nord Stern’s High-Performance Driver Education (DE) events offer structured, controlled environments for all driving enthusiasts. Safely explore your car’s capabilities, build your skills, and connect with fellow Porsche owners.
Event Structure
Participants are grouped by experience and speed to separate newcomers from advanced drivers. Run groups range in size from 20-30 cars and are allowed on track at scheduled times. A typical session runs about 20-30 minutes. Safety teams, corner workers, race control and club supervision are always present. Don’t miss the happy hour once the track goes cold!
