Driver Skills Requirements:

Cancelations and refunds: Please read and understand this policy before registering! No credits or refunds will be given if you cancel with less than one week's notice. With a week or more notice, we are happy to provide you a full credit or refund. Credits are valid toward PNWR Driver Skills or Driver Education events. Must be redeemed within one year of issue.

Car club membership: No car club membership is required for Driver Skills - all are welcome. However, if an event is full and running a waitlist, preference is given to PCA members if spots become available.

Porsche ownership: You do not need to own a Porsche to participate, nor do you need to bring a Porsche to the event. All makes and models are welcome, and most Driver Skills events include a variety of different cars.

Insurance: You are responsible for your own insurance. Please check with your insurance carrier before registering if you are unsure of your coverage at Driver Skills. Note that Driver Skills is an educational car control clinic, not a high speed driver education or lapping event.

Age and driver's license restrictions: You must be at least 16 years old and in possession of an unrestricted driver's license at the time of the event. For participants under 18 years old, the participant and his/her parents must sign additional waivers and the participant must attend with at least one parent or legal guardian. The additional waivers are available for download here: Waiver 1 (link); Waiver 2 (link). The parent or legal guardian is not required to participate, although we encourage families to participate together.
Helmets: All participants are required to wear helmets. Permitted helmets are rated Snell-2010 or better (e.g. Snell-2010, Snell-2015, Snell-2020) or FIA8860-2004, 2010, or its successor, SFI 31.1, or BS6658â€85 type A/FR. Your helmet must have the manufacture certification tag to be acceptable. Non Snell helmets must be within 10 years of manufacture (tag required). Either automobile (e.g. Snell SA-2010) or motorcycle (e.g. Snell M-2010) or karting (e.g. Snell K-2010) helmets are acceptable. These are the only allowable helmets.. A limited number of rental helmets that meet the club's specifications are available for $25. The helmet rental fee is waived for participants under 21 years of age.

Vehicle safety inspection: Instructors will perform a basic safety inspection on-site at the event. No professional technical inspection is required prior to the event. Details of the on-site inspection are available in the Inspection Checklist (link). The most common failure items are: loose battery, under inflated tires, and unsecured objects in the passenger compartment or trunk.

Registering for others or for groups: Each participant must be registered for the event under his/her own name and pay the participation fee, even if sharing a car. MotorsportReg.com now supports registering additional family members after registering yourself - follow the directions to "Register Someone Else" on the next page. Up to two participants may share a car, but again - we must have a registration record and payment for each individual. When two drivers share a car each driver will get as much drive time as if each had their own car. No more than two drivers can share a car.
