Are you new to track driving? Never driven with ARPCA? We have a long history of making everyone feel welcome! All ARPCA HPDE events are a great opportunity to drive your car on a fun and challenging track and enhance your driving skills. All makes are welcome, and you don't need to be a Porsche Club member to drive with us. You'll see plenty of "non-Porsches" at our events.

Track Tour

A Track Tour is offered Friday evening, starting at 5:30 pm led by one of our senior instructors. The focus is on track orientation for new drivers, and those new to the circuit. Everyone is welcome to attend. Contact Carol at track@arpca.com with questions. A track tour specific email with logistics will be sent one week prior to the event.

Friday Advanced Solo Lapping (ASL)

Instructors are not provided; therefore, a demonstration of a high level of track driving experience and skill is required to qualify. ASL drivers are also required to register for the weekend HPDE.

Approved ARPCA Instructors are automatically accepted. If you have previously attended an ARPCA ASL event at Pitt Race you will be accepted.

For all others, indicate your interest in attending ASL when completing the registration form. Please make sure your logbook of experience in your member profile is up to date. We will use this to evaluate your ability to qualify. We may also ask for a recommendation from the Chief Driving Instructor of your Region and will contact you by e-mail if we need your CDI’s contact information. ASL events are conducted as open track days and we are very careful to only have qualified participants at these events. This precaution is done to ensure the enjoyment but primarily the safety of those who will be sharing the track.

Instructors

If you are not currently an approved instructor for ARPCA and would like to instruct for us at Pitt Race, please contact Dave Palmer at chief.instructor@arpca.com.
