HPDC can be the single best day you'll have in your car, with emphasis on awareness and car control in a safely controlled environment and with an instructor in the car. Women drivers can enjoy experiencing the thrill of driving on a racetrack, learn the skills, make new friends that share the same passion in motorsports, and have a time to be remembered!
This event is for women students who have zero or little performance driving experience (DE, HPDC, PDX, autocross, competition drag racing, etc.). You’ll learn the basics of high-performance driving from world-class driving instructors, among a group of women participants. Throughout the day, you’ll form unforgettable memories, while mingling with fellow car lovers. And you do not need a Porsche to participate - we accept all marques (the only exception being no SUVs). Because HPDC is one way to qualify to drive in Potomac DE events, those with ZERO performance driving experience will be given preference. Sign up early, please. Our HPDCs usually sell out more than a month in advance and have long wait lists.
Two students sharing one vehicle is not allowed. Each vehicle must pass a brief inspection (brake pad wear, brake lights, and several other items) at the event in order to be allowed on track. SUVs (yes, even the Macan and Cayenne) are NO LONGER ALLOWED to participate in the HPDC.
All drivers must be at least 18 yrs old and have a valid drivers license.
Reminders: PCA Potomac is also a social club, and new participants are welcomed and appreciated by the entire DE community. Although we love our Porsches, we encourage other passenger car marques to participate. (SUVs and Trucks are not permitted by track rules. Firearms are not allowed during track events. No alcohol or recreational drugs while cars are on track.) Our DE program does have a “13/13 rule” that can be used at the discretion of our region’s DE leadership in reaction to inappropriate or problematic behavior on the track or in the paddock. This can result in probation and / or “time out” from our DE events for 13 months with reassessment before return permitted. So PLEASE, drive safe, smart and have a great weekend. As always, it’s not just the cars, it’s the people!
Registration Fee: $349
***ALL PARTICIPANTS ARE REQUIRED TO BRING THEIR OWN MASKS AND HAND SANITIZERS***
We will be strictly adhering to all social distancing policies in place at the time (e.g., masks may be required when outside the car; classrooms may be held outdoors; congregating in large groups / evening happy hours may be limited, etc.). For those who do not have their own in-car communicator headset - especially STUDENTS! - and want to purchase your own instead of sharing, you can try here but quantities may be limited. Stay tuned for any COVID-related details as the event nears.
