About this event
Join Euroclassics Porsche for its 19th annual Driver's Education Event and Customer Appreciation Day. Everyone will bring their own car and enjoy a day at famous VIR (full course). This is a great opportunity for drivers to get to know their cars, test their abilities on a real racecourse, and enjoy lots of track time. Guests and spectators are welcome to come for free, however they will need to pay for their own lunch.
All participants must have their vehicles Tech Inspected prior to the event. Tech Inspections are free if done at Euroclassics (***owners responsible for brake flush costs - please call 804-794-3399 for more information***). Drivers may take their cars to another service facility of their choosing, but will need to compensate that shop.
This event is open to any driver 18 and over with a valid US-issued driver's license and with any track worthy make/model of car. Please bring your license with you to registration.
There will be three (3) driving groups - Experienced (Red) Intermediate (Yellow) and Touring (Green).

Event requirements
Drivers will be divided into three run groups based on their driving experience. No passing will be allowed in the “green” group for drivers who are new to the track or have limited driving time. Yellow group will be allowed to pass on the three straights with point by (will be discussed in drivers meeting). Passing will be allowed in the "red" group for experienced drivers in certain areas (will be discussed in driver's meeting). Long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and closed-toe shoes will be required for all drivers, per VIR rules. All participants and spectators (adults and minors) must sign the appropriate VIR and Euroclassics insurance waivers.
The green group will be a relaxed driving opportunity for people who have no or limited track experience. These drivers will be able to get a taste of the track without having to be concerned about passing as they learn about themselves and their cars. Some instructors will be available at no charge to give newer drivers a few driving tips and teach them the line of the track. In this group only, no helmets will be required and VIR’s roll-bar rules will not apply (so you can drive any stock Boxster). For SUVs... Only qualified track vehicles (For example: Porsche Cayennes or Macans, BMWs and Mercedes-Benz SUVs) will be permitted for either group.
The yellow group is for Experienced drivers passing will only be allowed in 3 places on track and with a point by only.
The Red (Experienced) group will be open track with point by passing.
Drivers in the Yellow and Red group must wear Snell 2010 or newer helmets, per VIR rules, Boxsters and other convertibles in the advanced groups must have roll bars that are two inches above the drivers’ helmets (Broomstick Rule). Boxsters 2005 and newer are acceptable with no additional devices if the drivers’ helmets are below the two-inch mark.
