Head and Neck Restraint Requirements:

  • SFI or FIA approved Head and Neck Restraints are required for all Drivers and Passengers in harness-equipped vehicles.
  • The same type of restraint system (seats, belts or harnesses, head and neck restraints) is required for both driver and passenger.

Guest Driver / Student Waiver Policy:  GGR considers you a student unless you've completed two clean events with us. If you are an experienced driver but this is your first event with GGR, please visit GGR's Guest Driver / Student Waiver Policy here.

PCA - HPDE Insurance Program:
In June 2009, Porsche Club of America and Lockton Affinity announced the PCA - HPDE Insurance Program.  This innovative program provides single-event physical damage coverage to PCA members who purchase the coverage through Lockton and attend High-Performance Driver's Education events.  Over the past ten years many auto insurers have changed their policies to exclude coverage for claims "occurring on a surface used for racing," "at a high-performance driving event," or "use of an auto at a racetrack."  Your existing auto insurance policy may not cover damage to your car at the track.

Information on the PCA HPDE Insurance Program can be found here:  http://pcahpdeins.locktonaffinity.com/Default.aspx
(This information is provided as a convenience to our members and should not be construed as an endorsement.)

Coverage from other companies are available as well.

Permanent Reserved Numbers:
If you are a regular participant of our HPDE events, we encourage you to order a nice set of numbers for your beautiful Porsche. You will keep your number as long as you attend events regularly. If you don't attend an event in 24 months, your number will be made available if requested. Click here to see the numbers, if you find one that is not taken, email your desired number to: track@pca-ggr.org
