PCA Los Angeles invites you to come out and join us for the first event in our monthly autocross series. Our series has been organized by volunteers with a long history of running POC and PCA sanctioned autocross events. Autocross is a fun way to learn the basic handling dynamics of your car in a controlled environment.
Instructors will be available — no previous autocross experience required. All students new to Autocross will be required to have an Instructor for their first two events and possibly a check ride on their third event if Instructor indicates driver is adept at reading an autocross course and is safe to drive alone.

CLASSING GUIDE for ALL VEHICLES (new for 2026)
Car Classing for ALL Vehicles: To compete for points in your appropriate car class it is mandatory that you and your vehicle be registered on the PCA-LA Car Classing site (CC01-CC18, CCR). BE SURE to fill out all 3 sections: Basic Car Properties, Tire Properties, Performance Upgrades. We have discontinued SS Classes. Female drivers are welcome to use the Ladies version of these classes. Points are earned and a Championship Award is given for drivers that meet the required number of 2026 events, have at least 4 events in their class, and have the most points in their class at year-end.
X Class: If you only want to drive for fun and you don’t want to compete against other cars with similar performance points then you can register in X Class. If you choose to drive in X Class then you do not need to register on the PCA-LA Car Classing Website. No awards are given in X Class and you will not earn any points.
NOVICE Class: This class is only for Porsche drivers that are new to Autocross. Drivers are only eligible to drive in this class for their first 6 events within one calendar year, after which they are required to move to the correct class for their car. You may choose to leave this class before 6 events but then you cannot return to it. Cars do not need to be classed to run in Novice. Female drivers are welcome to use the Ladies version of this class. Points are earned in Novice and a Championship Award is given for drivers that complete 6 events in Novice and have the most points at year-end. NOTE: You must attend and have a valid TIMED run in 51% of the events offered this year to qualify for a year-end award. That may mean that your 7th and subsequent events will be in a different class depending on the number of events in 2026.
