PCA-SDR Cayenne/Macan Off-Road Adventure Tour requirements on Feb 3, 2018 (854515) | MotorsportReg.com

Porsche Cayenne or Macan capable of off-pavement driving.

All-terrain tires on smaller diameter wheels are preferred for decreased puncture risks, but good condition all-season tires even on 20-inch diameter wheels will be adequate.  Tire inflation at the lower "partial load" setting is recommended as airing down to a setting lower than "partial load" should not be necessary for this event, unless the bumpy terrain is too uncomfortable.  Low-profile summer street type tires and wheels 21" or larger in diameter with minimal sidewall protection may work but are not recommended as they have a higher risk of punctures or wheel damage from the rocky terrain that we may encounter.  

Off-road driving experience is not necessary as we hope to aid new drivers to help manage any situations that may be uncertain.  Overall the trails are not difficult and should be easily handled by any version of Cayenne or Macan.

The driver should have a working knowledge of the Off-road programming features specified on your Cayenne or Macan.  The owner's manual is the best place to familiarize yourself on the suspension settings, Off-road programming settings, and other features like Porsche Hill Control/Hill Descent - read up before the event!

The driver should have a right shin in good shape as this will be a few hours of active driving time modulating the gas and brakes.  Get that tibialis anterior in shape!

A well-maintained vehicle is essential which includes:

1. tires in good condition with tire pressures set at the lower partial load setting; the full load setting will work for traction, but will be less comfortable on the bumps
2. fluids at proper levels as steep grades will angle the vehicle and if fluids are low, may cause issues or warnings at a minimum
3. no known suspension or chassis control faults: we will be utilizing the traction control wizardry of the Porsche engineers so properly functioning vehicle systems are important
4. due to the bumps and ruts remove or restrain all loose items inside and outside

If minors will be attending the event, a Waiver for Minors must be signed by both parents.  If only one parent will be actually attending the event, download the waiver PDF, print it using a color printer, and have both parents sign the waiver, and bring it to be turned in at the 8:30am tour briefing at the Dudley's parking lot.
