I was a PCA member for less than 24 hours before I was talked into trying out a sport that I had no idea what it entailed. Autocross or Auto-X. Either way you spell it, I can tell you that you’re only going to have loads of fun. More than likely, you purchased a Porsche because of their reputation for handling and performance. Autocross will teach you how superior these cars are when it comes to nimbly navigating cones through a preset course.
Enjoy your Porsche’s capabilities like nowhere else and drive it the way it was designed. AutoX is easy on your car and all Porsches can participate. Car control skills you gain allow you to explore the limits of your car which makes you a safer driver on the street. Discover the fun and camaraderie of Auto-X!
1. It’s going to make you a faster and safer driver. Most people have never felt their car when the rear end is about to lose traction. If they have, it’s usually on the highway or public road where the threat of hitting another vehicle, guard rail, or immovable object is quite high. In autocross, many regions offer instructors who will give you pointers, analyze your driving, and demonstrate how to improve your driving skills.
