PorscheFest Background: The Annual PorscheFest event brings together participants from many different programs into a single location where we can all experience a taste of different programs and have an opportunity to socialize with the broader PCA Potomac community at the dinner that caps the day. As always, the event is hosted in the main paddock at Summit Point Motorsports Park where there is a Driver’s Education (DE) event being held. This is a great opportunity to walk through the paddock and see everything from regular street cars to PCA and Porsche factory racers, then wander out to the track and watch the cars in their native habitat! On another circuit the Autocross program will be running an event as well-- an excellent environment to see drivers testing themselves and their cars around a low speed course defined by traffic cones.
