Event Description

Drive your own car on the beautiful and challenging Spring Mountain Motor Resort and Country Club Charleston Peak Course. This new FIA Level-3 track has fast sweeping corners, quick esses, off-camber turns, lots of elevation change and high-speed straights. Here you will learn new driving skills or improve your existing skills in a safe and fun environment.

New HPDE Drivers

We Train You! PCA Nationally Trained Instructors will help you improve your driving abilities and acquire a better understanding of vehicle dynamics and driving safety. You 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. Sound like fun? Students will spend Saturday morning in the classroom learning about vehicle dynamics and practicing car control exercises on the skidpad. Just before lunch, you will get the first look at the track in your car with your instructor. After lunch, you will join your instructor on the track for the remainder of the weekend. Caution: this adventure can become very addictive.

Experienced Drivers

All skill levels are welcome and will be separated into three run groups (Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced) based on experience/skill level. PCA Nationally Trained Instructors will be available to assist in learning the track configuration and/or improving your driving skills. If you would like an instructor answer “Yes” to “Do you want an instructor?” on your registration form.

Safety

PCA HPDE events focus on SAFETY, EDUCATION and FUN!! These 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 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 Education Program will not be permitted. This approach keeps the events safe for all participants! All run groups will run with passing only by point-by, and only in designated passing zones.

Ultimately, Your safety and the safety of other participants depends primarily on the decision You make and the actions You take! Safety is Everyone’s Responsibility!!
