THIS EVENT IS FOR PORSCHE CARS ONLY - All event details can be found at www.diablo-de.org
UPDATES:
General Event Information:
This event is open to all Porsche drivers who have been cleared to drive solo on Thunderhill Raceway. Drivers who have been cleared to solo at other tracks, but not Thunderhill Raceway, will be considered for this event, based on the review by our Chief Driving Instructor.
We are a Porsche club, not a driving school or a driving business. We run several safe, fun and friendly track events each year. We do not race, time trial or time laps. We limit this event to 25 cars per run group so that we can offer plenty of room on track and lots of track time.
We expect to run three run groups: Beginner Solo, Intermediate, and Advanced. The DE team will review all registered drivers and will confirm the run group classification for each driver based on overall track experience. During the event the DE team will work to accommodate drivers wishing to change run groups, subject to approval by our Chief Driving Instructor (CDI).
COVID-19 Related Changes:
Due to Covid-19 restrictions and requirements, this event will be run differently than past Diablo PCA DE events:
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
Private Instructors/Coaches:
Private instructors/coaches are not allowed at this event.
Passing will be with mandatory point-by in all groups:
We take safety very seriously, and will “black flag” any participant who disregards passing protocols or consistently fails to give point by's, including denying access to the track with no refund of registration fees if deemed necessary by the safety officer.
Safety Inspection Information:
All drivers must certify that their car has passed a safety inspection by an authorized person within 30 days of this event, per PCA guidelines. The safety inspection form can be downloaded from our DE website (http://www.diablo-de.org/home.html). All drivers must complete this safety inspection form to verify that the condition of their car is ready for the track. Well maintained Porsches should have no problem passing tech inspection if they have good brakes, tires, no oil leaks and no defects. If in doubt, have the experts look at your car.
The following sponsors are offering free tech inspections:

Both drivers will not be allowed to drive in the same run group.
