You should be aware that Porsche Club of America has implemented substantially strengthened safety equipment requirements for 2008, particularly in the areas of seats and harnesses. This link will go to the PCA national safety recommendations: http://www.pca.org/drivers_ed/standards.html

In addition, many PCA regions have extensively upgraded their own requirements. Go here: http://www.pca-chicago.org/?getpage=300 for one such example.

Many cars that have previously participated in PCA Driver Ed events will no longer be eligible without equipment upgrades. IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND A PCA DE EVENT, IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU VISIT THE WEB SITE OF THE SPONSORING REGION AND FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THEIR CURRENT REQUIREMENTS. .
