Driving School Recommendations?
 
Hey guys,

I'm sure this's been asked before, but I went back a few pages in the New England section and didn't find anything.

Can anyone recommend a good driving school around the Boston area?
Not so basic - I guess I want to learn proper cornering, vehicle dynamics, etc...

If anyone's gone to a school and felt it was well worth it/exceptional, I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks!

I don't know of anything in the Boston area. But I have been up to team o'neil in NH. It was a blast and you learn a lot about controlled sliding. I'm heading over to Lime rock today and doing the 2 day driving school starting tomorrow and can report back on how it was if you want.

Talk to @HAZMAT he is an instructor at NHMS and teaches advanced driving courses. He would know who to talk to about driving courses.

I'll check those out - thanks.

I remember seeing one post mentioning a place... down in RI? The school's trained law enforcement drivers like cops and stuff. Problem is I can't find it anymore... the front page had something like an old impreza (blue) on it...

I was looking into this as well. I'm not entirely sure what I was looking for but there's the Skip Barber Racing School at Limerock in CT.

I was recommended to sign up for a Porsche club of America event. They have classroom and instruction, and track time.
