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 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:

Coverage from other companies may be available as well.

Event requirements
IMPORTANT STUFF
1. The cancellation policy appears in teeny-weeny type following this section.
2. Receipt of payment is critical -- where priority for instruction, acceptance into an event, discounts, availability of volunteer jobs etc. is decided by date, it is the date of payment receipt that is used. Wait-listed students' priority will be decided by PCA affiliation and date of registration.
3. 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. You are responsible for facilitation of the required endorsement. Please contact the CDI with any questions about the policy.
4. Know the Rules: Rules and requirements about you and your Porsche can be found on the GGR website. Please review them here before registering.
5. Tech Form: You must present a completed tech form and valid drivers license during Tech/Check In at the track. Download and use our event tech form which can be found here.
