Pro Drive Racing School

Fantastic experience: Completed the Winter Driving Course and had a wonderful time. Chris is a fantastic guy and teacher. Everyone should take this course to get a grip on handling skids!

Fantastic experience: Ignacio Chavez Gutierrez

Fantastic experience: 1st class outfit. I spent a day lapping their cars at PIR. Very knowledgeable staff that is also super friendly. I’m looking forward to going back, and would recommend it to anyone looking to get some seat time in a race car.

Fantastic experience: Very nice place to go, friendly to people who are not familiar with the track

Fantastic experience: Thank You Kristen! I had a great time! I learned so many things about my bad, odd & goofy driving habits from Frank! Thank You Frank for putting up with me! You showed my a much faster way around PIR! , I was amazed at how many of my turn ins and apex landmarks were so far off ( and Ive had lots of laps on the track) from the fastest way around the track. I also need to thank you for coaching me through my idiosyncrasies aka bad habits ! your a patient man! I've got a lot to work on ! , but I'm also much faster Thank You All!

Fantastic experience: Fair price for a great education. a small amount of classroom time to understand the principles, but then a lot of time behind the wheel gaining experience!

Fantastic experience: We took the icy conditions driving class (Car Control Course), and it was superb. The instructors were very good in all aspects if the class, from the classroom instructions to the in-vehicle application. Strongly recommend for everyone!

Fantastic experience: That was one of the best experience I have had behind the wheel of a car. The instructors were the best. Calm encouraging and very professional. I would encourage anyone who drives a car no matter what the level of experience to go try this. It was so much fun.

Fantastic experience: Unique and rewarding program for anyone seeking to improve their driving skills. The entire Pro Drive team is welcoming, supportive, and extremely knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: The school was professional and well structured. Everyone that works there were knowledgeable and great to talk with. I highly recommend doing this if you have a car you want to push in a controlled environment.

Fantastic experience: Todd and his crew are outstanding. Really helped my son get some auto racing experience.

Fantastic experience: I took the Car Control Course as an employee of the City of Portland. I highly recommend this course for a company to put employees through this training for driving company vehicles and also the parent who wants their newly driving teen to get more experience with driving. Not only does the course provide you with skills to handle skids and slides, it is also a good experience to learn about looking and planning ahead, which is also just good to re-learn as an experienced driver. Plus, the course was really fun!

Fantastic experience: I just took the car control class. After a lifetime of avoiding getting into a skid it was useful to actually make the car skid and practice the skills to control the car. The instructor was excellent, efficient, plenty of practice in the car. The business is making an effort to follow COVID safety protocol. Great class for a new driver but also for others who have avoided skidding all their life and can learn some skills for if or when it happens.

Fantastic experience: Great experience. Chris the instructor was great. A ton of fun, and could feel my driving improving by the end of it

Fantastic experience: Have had 2 sessions with prodrive with a third already booked. Make sure you visit Portland International Raceway's website for coupon codes to shave $100 off the price of the high performance drivers course. At $399 its a definite bargain. You get 5 total sessions. First 3 sessions are 15 min each, last 2 sessions are 20 min. You are split into three groups based on experience. Designated passing zones on the front and back straights. Dont feel like you need to have a high performance car when you go, i have seen everything from Honda Accords to Ferraris. I had Dan for my instructor most recently and he was great. Maybe it was because I knew the track better this time around but he seemed much more comfortable with me than my first instructor last year. Its a worthwhile experience to learn about car handling and improve your driving abilities while meeting new people. If your the least bit interested, do yourself a favor and sign up.
