Driver's Education (DE)
http://www.pca.org/drivers_ed
The mission and purpose of the Driver Education
Program is to provide a safe, structured and controlled teaching and
learning environment. The PCA DE Program is designed so the participant
can improve his or her driving abilities and acquire a better
understanding of vehicle dynamics and driving safety at various tracks
around the country.
PCA DE events are not racing, nor preparation for
racing. No times or placings are recorded, and no awards or prizes are
received by the participants of PCA Driver's Education events; just a
lot of fun and camaraderie. Any conduct considered by the Porsche Club
of America to be either unsafe or inconsistent with the spirit or
purpose of the Driver's Education Program will not be permitted. This
approach keeps the events safe for all participants!
The DE Advisory Team, as the name implies, is
advisory in nature. The team's first task was to collaborate on a set
of "Minimum Standards" to be used as a common set of safety based rules
upon which to build and improve regional DE programs. These Standards
were designed to be basic in nature, with an emphasis on proven safe
practices, and are designed to be expanded upon as each region tailors
their own programs to their entrants.
