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.

Event requirements
Know the Rules: Rules and requirements about you and your Porsche can be found on the GGR website. They have been updated for 2019. Please review them here before registering.
Tech Form: The Tech Form is updated for 2019 and is available here. You must present a completed tech form and valid drivers license during Tech/Check In at the track.
New Safety Equipment Required for 2019 PCA DE:
- SFI or FIA approved Head and Neck Restraints are now required for all Drivers and Passengers in harness-equipped vehicles.
- The same type of restraint system is required for both driver and passenger.
- Harnesses are required to be SFI or FIA approved for competition and mounted in the manufacturer-approved configuration. Any harness approved for PCA Club Racing is acceptable when installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Evidence of this approval will be provided by the driver, if necessary.
- If factory stock/DOT approved 3 point restraint systems (stock seat belts) are used, additional head and neck restraints are not required.
- GGR will not rent or provide head and neck restraint systems. Participants must provide their own systems if required.
Laguna Sound Limit - 92 dB: The enforcement of the established sound limit for the event is as follows: A violation of the limit will result in a mechanical black flag, immediate disqualification from the run session and immediate reporting to the track steward, located on the hot pit lane near start/finish. Violations are cumulative over the course of the event. Three violations will result in the end of the event for that vehicle. 92 dB isn't very loud, so be prepared.
