Car Control Clinic for Audi, BMW, Porsche & Performance Sports Cars
If you drive a high-performance Audi, BMW, Porsche, or similar sports car on track, you already understand speed. What separates confident, consistent drivers from hesitant ones isn’t horsepower — it’s car control at the limit.
At Bay Area Drifting, we offer advanced car control training designed for performance-oriented drivers who want to push harder, corner faster, and stay composed when grip disappears.

This program is ideal for track-day drivers, HPDE participants, and performance enthusiasts who want to build real confidence without risking their car in uncontrolled situations.
Why Performance Car Drivers Choose Car Control Training
Modern performance cars reward precision — but they also punish mistakes. Electronic aids help, but they can’t replace driver awareness, throttle discipline, and steering control when the car is near its limit.
Our training focuses on the fundamentals that matter most at speed:
-
Understanding rear-wheel and all-wheel-drive dynamics
-
Managing weight transfer under braking and acceleration
-
Correcting oversteer before it becomes a spin
-
Staying calm and composed when traction drops
These are the exact skills that prevent:
-
Spinning on corner exit
-
Overcorrecting mid-corner
-
Losing confidence after a close call
This Is Not a Drift School for Style
While drifting techniques are used, this program is not about showmanship.
We use controlled oversteer intentionally as a training tool — because learning to manage slip in a safe, structured environment makes you dramatically more confident when driving at speed on a road course.
You will not be asked to:
-
Link corners
-
Drive aggressively beyond your comfort level
-
Perform for spectators
Everything is:
-
Structured
-
Instructor-led
-
Progressive
-
Safety-focused
