PCA Driver Education Program

E-mail Print
gt3 The mission and purpose of the Porsche Club of America's Driver's Education Program is to provide a safe, structured and controlled teaching and learning environment. The PCA DE Program is designed so that participants can improve their driving abilities and acquire a better understanding of vehicle dynamics and driving safety. Participants will experience first-hand the capabilities of high performance automobiles in a controlled, closed-course environment and acquire skills that will enhance safer vehicle operation in all driving situations.

One giant word of caution: this adventure can become very addictive. Our instructors will teach you to drive your Porsche the way Stuttgart designed it to be driven. PCA DE schools are run in a safe and controlled environment on a closed course. Like any new sport your instructor will guide you into this exciting world of high performance driving. These weekends are great sources of stories for the Monday morning coffee break. You will have dreams about various turns and wake up with memories of your instructor yelling BRAKE or DON'T LIFT. These schools are truly the only safe way to learn the engineering dynamics that went into the development of this famous racing marque. However, it is noted that PCA DE events are not racing, nor preparation for racing. No times or placings are recorded, and no awards or prizes are received by the participants of PCA Driver's Education events; just a lot of fun and camaraderie. Any conduct considered by the Porsche Club of America to be either unsafe or inconsistent with the spirit or purpose of the Driver's Education Program will not be permitted. This approach keeps the events safe for all participants!

    Marco, This website is AWESOME! We need to make sure we get it entered in the Parade competition. Do you know when the deadline is? I'll run through it for any specific recommendations or comments but they'll be insignificant. BTW how to you get the Porsche links and videos? Phil

Memorial Day Classic (Rolex Series)

Porsche-powered Daytona Prototype driver Buddy Rice is no stranger to winning historic events on Memorial Day Weekend. In fact, he won the 2004 Indianapolis 500. Will he return to his winning ways in the debut of the Daytona Prototype at Lime Rock Park?
