Drivers Education Many PCA Regions offer driver education programs that allow you to learn how to drive your Porsche in a variety of circumstances. Emphasis is placed on improving your safety skills as a driver as well as high performance driving.

High Performance Driving Clinics HPDCs are instructional sessions tailored to the needs of members with no previous driving experience beyond the "normal" daily commute.

PCA Club Racing PCA Club Racing is an organized race series for Porsche owners. The rules are similar to vintage racing.

Rally A rally can be competitive or for fun. The objective of a rally is to follow a course, usually on public roads, to the precise detail specified in the rules. Competitive rallies dictate a certain schedule for the checkpoints along the way. Points are deducted by arriving at the checkpoint either early or late. Fun rallies may include a gimmick (poker rally, regional interest). Part of the challenge with a fun rally is to discover the intended route, which may require other skills such as solving a puzzle or looking for obscure reference points.

Concours A concours is a judged event where cars are prepared to "as delivered" condition. Points are deducted from a maximum possible value based on condition and cleanliness. Various concours rules are used depending on the level of competition. The annual Porsche Parade concours is the highlight of the concours schedule.

Drive and Dine Drive and Dine Event consists of a meeting place, an informal drive through the country, and lunch or dinner.
