Let's explore the different run groups for a typical Porsche Club of America (PCA) event. In this specific case, we're looking at the Kentucky PCA region event at NCM Motorsports Park in Bowling Green, KY. The event is set up to take a driver from the beginning stages of an HPDE, (where passing is limited and speeds are slower), to advanced running, (with higher speeds and open passing).

The KYPCA event is fairly typical for both Porsche events as well as other club events. Some groups add or subtract run groups, but all HPDEs, (High-Performance Driving Events), follow a similar template.

Let's get crackin' around the picturesque Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, AL! Here is a turn-by-turn guide to help your track weekend go smoothly.

Let's take a Hot Lap with David Murry around one of the greatest tracks in the U.S.--Road America!

For some reason, a few unhelpful ideas continue to persist around HPDE events. Some ideas and habits are easily corrected and some become deeply ingrained in a driver's behavior. We'll look at a few of those ideas and they provide more helpful alternatives!

Data Analysis! Yaw! vMin! What is all of this stuff and why does it matter. Those, among other things, are the keys to getting around the track faster. Let's find out why!

Today we break down moving from Novice to Expert driver into five steps. Also, let's dive into the Dunning-Kruger Effect and discuss how it relates to driver development.

What is the core essence of high-performance driving? When we boil everything down, what is it, exactly? Let's dive in!

Is rotation sliding the car, a la Chris Harris' YouTube videos? How about understeer? Oversteer? What does your instructor mean EXACTLY when they say "Rotate the Car"? Let's find out!

Sometimes figuring out how to drop your lap times or how to go a bit faster down that straight can be complicated. But sometimes you can focus on things that are simple. (Simple doesn't mean easy!) This is one of those topics!

To wrap up our four-part series on braking, let's discuss how to approach braking based on the type of car you're driving. Whether you're driving a low- medium- or high-horsepower car, there are specific techniques you can use to approach and move through the corners faster. One last time, let's go! Wait, I did it again...let's STOP!
