ITCHING TO GET OUT THERE AND DRIVE THE WAY YOU CAN'T ON THE STREET?

Did you know that 100 of your fellow Porsche Club of America members participate in as many as nine track events in the New England area each summer?

Have you dreamed of driving your car on the track? Maybe at Watkins Glen International or Lime Rock Park or maybe the newest track in New England, Club Motorsports in Tamworth, NH?

If you have never driven on the track before, here’s your opportunity to do so at a significantly reduced cost. North Country Region is offering new track drivers 50% off the regular cost of our HPDE events. Join us for one, two or three days. You will receive a superbly experienced right seat instructor for all days of your participation.  You will enhance your driving skills; learn the true capabilities of your car; and experience the thrill driving at speed on the track.

Before the event we will assign your own personal HPDE ambassador to help you through the logistics of your first time at the track. Each day you will have four track sessions of at least 20 minutes. To prepare you for your track session you will participate in classroom sessions led by the track professionals and our most experienced instructors. To top off this amazing day we'll end with a track walk and an evening social event. It really is possible to have speed, power, safety and fun all at once. You will meet wonderful people who love to talk about cars and driving and are happy to help you. 

To find out more about our HPDE events take a look at this article,  then check out our event schedule. We know you’ll have a blast. If you have any questions contact us.

Here is a sample of the comments from first timers at our recent events.

"Just a quick note to thank everyone who ran the North Country Region event last weekend. Everything was just spot on. From the reg online and all that easy paperwork to the sign-in at the track, etc.... Everyone could not have been nicer and helpful to someone new to the group and Lime Rock."

A reminder that our second 2024 visit to Club Motorsports is just three weeks away. We want to thank you for attending our events at Club Motorsports and we hope to see you at the track on September 5-7. 

Located just northeast of Lake Winnipesaukee on Route 25 in Tamworth, Club Motorsports is less than 30 minutes from some of the best hotels and restaurants in North Conway and Meredith. The track is 2.5 miles in length with a 40 ft wide surface, has 15 turns, and 250 ft of undulating elevation changes. It provides a thrilling driving experience as well as scenic views of Mt Chocorua.

I’ve always wanted to drive on a proper race track, and in November of 2019 I achieved that goal. Earlier that year, I purchased my first Porsche - a 1979 911 SC. I purchased it with one goal - attend High Performance Driver Education events with the PCA. I spent the summer sorting my car, preparing for my first HPDE, and talking to experienced club members. Hopefully sharing my experience encourages others to attend HPDE events. There’s a ton of resources on this topic and I suggest you spend some time on both the NCR and NER website. The presentation from the 2022 DE Ground School is particularly useful.

“BE SAFE-HAVE FUN” is the North Country Region’s Driver Education motto.

TL;DR? Watch this short video.

We provide a safe, structured, and controlled teaching and learning environment, so that you can improve your driving abilities and acquire a better understanding of vehicle dynamics and driving safety. You will enjoy first-hand, the capabilities of your Porsche in a controlled, closed-course environment. These on track sessions help you acquire skills that enhance safer vehicle operation in all driving situations.
