Don't miss the excitement, the fun and the opportunity to improve your driving skills during an on-track high performance driver education ("DE") weekend with the St. Louis Region of the Porsche Club of America ("PCA") on the standard 1.6 mile road course at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway Motorsports Park just minutes from downtown St. Louis. Drivers will be grouped for track sessions according to their prior track experience. All students (except those with prior track experience) will be assigned one of our experienced, trained, in-car instructors for "real time" instruction during all track sessions. In addition, classroom instruction for beginners will also be provided.
Friday is an "Instructor/Advanced" day and is RESTRICTED to Advanced Drivers and Instructors only. If you have not instructed at a St. Louis Region PCA DE, or run solo (no Instructor) for at least one FULL weekend (both all day Sat & all day Sun) in the St. Louis Region PCA's DE Group 1 or 2, you MUST email for approval BEFORE registering. Friday will be run under PCA's "Expanded Passing" (EP) rules which permit passing with a "point by" almost anywhere on the track. If you are not comfortable with EP, do not register for Friday.
Come out and join us at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway Motorsports Park for a great weekend high performance driving school!
PCA and non-PCA members are welcome. Most makes and models of sports cars and sports sedans are eligible to participate.
Important Note from PCA National regarding vehicles equipped with "automatic braking systems":
Because it is presently not known how “Automatic Emergency Braking Systems” will react at speed in a High Performance Driver Education environment, PCA will NOT allow affected vehicles to run with our group at HPDE events UNLESS the system can be and is turned off whenever such a vehicle is on the track. While this feature is beneficial for street driving, we cannot risk endangering drivers, instructors and their vehicles at our on-track driving schools.
Our DE events have been filling up quickly, so register early to avoid disappointment. Once the event is full, we will maintain a waiting list which will be accessed, should openings develop, in the order of event registration within each applicable driver group. YOUR REGISTRATION IS NOT CONSIDERED COMPLETE AND YOUR SPACE WILL NOT BE HELD UNTIL YOUR REGISTRATION FEE IS PAID IN FULL. Please note Instructed groups may be limited on size based on Instructor availability.
