Event Details

If you’ve ever had an interest in showing your Porsche but didn’t know where to start, or are somewhat intimidated by the entire process, this is the workshop for you. The seminar will be led by certified Concours judges and decorated national Concours champions who are skilled at taking the mystery and the misery of what can be a daunting but otherwise rewarding process. You’ll be advised about what products work most successfully, what techniques to use or avoid, and common pitfalls or problems that can easily be resolved. Covered topics will include: interiors, exteriors, storage areas, engines and engine bays, and chassis. Even if you’re not (yet) a competitor, you and your Porsche will benefit from this seminar.

This is open only to those who have not participated in previous Concours and will be limited to the first twelve (12) who register. The cost is twenty dollars which will cover supplies and lunch expenses. A check made to Chicago Region – PCA must be received two weeks prior to the event.

Event Details

Porsche Club of America-Chicago Region is hosting this unique opportunity to learn the fundamental skills necessary for Precision Care Control from our talented members and instructors. Fundamentals include extreme braking, importance of vehicle balance, fastest and safest line through a turn and many other skills that directly transfer to daily driving, autocross, high speed Driver’s Education and even racing! Experience what it looks and feels like to REALLY control your Porsche in a safe, controlled environment.

Who should attend?
Anyone wanting to improve their driving skills, has a need for speed, or wishes to understand and experience the capability of their vehicle in a safe, closed-course environment. This is also great for folks who plan to participate in other extreme car control, Autocross or Driver’s Education events.

What should I expect?
Classroom and in-car instruction with a heavy emphasis on driving because we believe the best way to learn is to do it! The classroom sessions cover the fundamentals of performance driving and Autocross, the events our club use to test and improve these skills. You’ll also receive personal in-car instruction while navigating through various exercises marked by traffic cones. Finally, you’ll be coached by volunteer PCA-experienced drivers as you negotiate a complete, untimed Autocross course, at your own speed. This event will occur rain or shine (besides, some driving exercises are more fun in the rain!).

Autocross School co-coordinators Adam Kern and Joe Morsello, along with a whole host of volunteer instructors, will be putting on this first driving event of the season.

Pre-registration by April 15th is required. Lunch and a t-shirt are included in the registration fee and must be ordered in advance. Those who do not pre-register by the 15th will not be provided lunch or a t-shirt.

Please be prepared to display a valid driver’s license. Minors must provide junior waivers signed by at least one parent (preferably both).

Snell 2015 SA- or M-approved or newer helmets are required but a few loaner helmets will be available. See the sponsors section of our website for PCA Chicago supporters who can provide you with appropriately sized equipment to meet your needs.

Event Details

Are you thinking about doing your first Rallye, but want a bit more information before you commit (“sounds cool and everything, but I’m just not sure it’s for me”)? If you’re thinking about a first Rallye, or are an experienced Rallysta but would like a freshener before season starts, then this is THE EVENT; you won’t want to miss it, because everything you need to know is right here in one place! This is an opportunity to drive your car in a non-track situation, on beautiful country or suburban roads, with a whole bunch of your favorite friends and colleagues.

There will be a 2-hour class session before the Rallye itself, and this first event will be set up as a “Rallye 101,” to reinforce what you just learned in the classroom. Plan afterwards to get together with your fellow Rallystas for some food, tasty beverages, and the opportunity to ask questions of other Rallye folks. Since Rallyes are performed in pairs (a driver and a navigator), you’ll need a partner, but if you don’t have one, let us know beforehand and we’ll try to pair you up!

Event Details

Now’s the time to schedule some springtime excitement! Driving your Porsche at speed on a track, in a safe and controlled environment, with an instructor sitting right next to you!

Blackhawk Farms Raceway, in South Beloit (near the Wisconsin/Illinois border), is a complex 1.9 mile, 7-turn track that provides an ideal learning environment that will keep you focused all day.

We typically have 40+ novice drivers, so this is a great way to meet fellow enthusiasts, learn the track, learn the car, and have a GREAT time doing it. We also incorporate a group of more experienced drivers, so no matter what your experience, this is an excellent “season opener” for you track enthusiasts, or soon-to-be track enthusiasts.

This event is open to all sport cars that pass tech (Cayenne, Macan or other SUV’s are not allowed) and to all drivers 18 and older with an emphasis on the novice driver. This is the event to attend if you are new to the club and are interested in learning how to drive your car on a race track. Novice drivers get a morning and afternoon classroom sessions and in-car instruction. In addition, there is an online classroom session on Wednesday, May 4th starting at 7:30 PM where you will learn the basics of safely driving on a race track and what to expect during the event. Access information for attending the session will be emailed to you after you have completed registration.

We typically have 40 or more novice drivers at this event so in addition to learning how to handle your vehicle. It is also a great way to meet fellow club members. Again this year we will be incorporating one experienced group at this Novice Day event. This group is open to all who have previous track experience but have not reached the Instructor level.

This event is sponsored by longtime PCA Chicago supporter The Porsche Exchange in Highland Park, which will be providing an event souvenir and a free lunch (what’s not to like?)

By the way, we’ll need instructors for our new or less-experienced drivers, but as a thank-you, volunteer instructors will receive a voucher for use at a future PCA Chicago event.
