WHO is this event for?
This event is limited to Porsche Cayennes or Macans, with no mechanical issues, up to date maintenance, and are equipped with at least all-season tires, and a careful driver at the helm.

Downloading and going through the PCA's Self-Inspection Safety Checklist is a requirement for all vehicles in attendance. If you have any questions about completing the tasks oulined in the checklist, please reach out to the event organizer.

Old tires, with little to no tread depth may get you stuck in the loose dirt climbing portions of this drive, or result in a flat tire if you hit a big rock, so check your tires, and regardless of the tires you have, plan to drive carefully. Tire inflation at the lower "partial load" setting is recommended, as airing down to a setting lower than "partial load" should not be necessary for this drive. Low-profile summer street type tires and wheels 21" or larger in diameter have a higher risk of punctures, and/or expensive wheel damage.

Off-road driving experience is not necessary as the purpose of this event is to give new drivers the ability learn the off-road features of their Porsche SUVs, and actually use them. On-the-fly tips will be given during the drive making this a great venue to familiarize yourself with your Porsche SUV as well as its traction control capabilities that the Porsche engineers have proudly implemented. Overall the trails should be handled by any version of Cayenne or Macan that is carefully driven with tires that have decent tread remaining, minimally set to partial load pressures.

The driver should have a working knowledge of the Off-road programming features specified on their vehicle. The owner's manual is the best place to familiarize yourself on the suspension settings, Off-road programming settings, and other features like Porsche Hill Control/Hill Descent - read up before the event so you have a basic understanding of these functions, and please email the event organizer and ask any questions you might have.

FRS Radios will be used during the drive to give recommendations regarding which driving modes to try and when to try them, so you can experience the exciting functions the Porsche SUVs possess.

So you are not sitting on a distant dirt road wondering how to get home, a well-maintained vehicle is essential. These are complicated machines so do not show up with a vehicle with known systems issues, or deferred maintenance. PCA National requires performing a self-inspection of your Cayenne or Macan prior to the event to help assure its readiness: please download the Self-Inspection Checklist here. Regarding the form, this event is NOT considered a CAT 3 event - you do not need to turn in the form, but you must use it as a guide to check your vehicle prior to showing up.

If you are wondering about whether you, or your SUV is up to the adventure, attend one of our Club's SUVs-n-Donuts events to ask questions as well.

This is a special kind of PCA SDR event since the whole family can come along for the drive. All adults in a vehicle will need to sign the paper waiver at the drivers meeting held before departing. Please note, only the main registrant needs to register for the event, but everyone needs to sign the waiver the morning of the event.

If minors will be attending the event, which they are absolutely encouraged to do, a Waiver for Minors must be signed by both parents. If only one parent will be actually attending the event, download the waiver PDF, print it, and have both parents sign the waiver, and bring it to be turned in at the morning tour briefing. PCA requires that both parents need to sign the waiver for any minors in attendance.
