Other Interesting Materials Supporting your on-track habit

  • Driver Training Manual: Drivers Training Manual – Developed by Porsche Owners Club (POC), is a VERY GOOD document. If this is your first DE (or you are looking to improve your driving capabilities) take time to review!
  • Racing Equipment (including Helmets): Apex Performance – Apex Performance has been a strong supporter of ARPCA. This year SA 2005 helmets are no longer allowed – Do not show up with a SA2005 or you will not be allowed to run.
  • HPDE Insurance: High Performance Drivers Eduction Insurance – offered by Lockton Affinity. Most standard insurance policies do not cover on-track incidents. Not all tracks covered. Check for specific availability.
  • Wheel – Tire Size Calc: Wheel / Tire Calculator – Tool helps determine wheel/tire fitment.
  • Ultimate Speed Secrets: High Performance Driving Book Book from Ross Bentley on performance driving.
  • Track Videos: Hooked on Driving Videos This “for profit” drivers education organization has published a set of videos. There are a number you can review in preparation for your first DE – or – just to get the “driving juices” flowing.
