Joint ACNA/PCA Driver School at Pitt Race
Pittsburgh International Race ComplAbout this event
June 25/26/27 at Pittsburgh International Race Complex. This is a three-day event co-hosted with the Potomac region Porsche Club of America. “Pitt Race” is a world-class facility owned by the same folks who own our beloved VIR. The facilities are top notch, and the track is newly expanded and paved.
This will be a 3-day instructed event! Please note that ACNA run groups will be mapped to PCA run groups based on driver experience and in collaboration with the PCA registrar and Chief Instructor.
