The Alabama region of the Porsche Club of America (ALPCA) is pleased to announce the dates for our three Driver Education (DE) events for 2024 at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, AL:

  1. March 23 & 24: Register Here!
  2. June 15th  & 16th – Register Here!
  3. September 28th & 29th – Registration Link Coming Soon!

If you have not been to Barber, here is your chance to drive one of the best road courses in the US complimented by its outstanding facilities. The track also houses the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum which features the finest collection of motorcycles and Lotus race cars in the world showcased in spectacular displays.

Please note the June 15-16 DE event coincides with the 2024 Porsche Parade Week also being held in Birmingham, so please consider signing up early as available slots in all driver groups are limited.    

Our weekend DE events will run five groups of drivers starting with the Drivers Education Experience (DEX) and continuing up from novice to advanced/expert. The DEX is a Saturday one day event specifically designed to provide a safe and educational experience for those interested in getting a taste of driving your car on a road course track. 

Registration for our 2024 DE events will open in early January 2024, and will be available using the Clubregistration.net website.  If you would like further information, please contact our DE Track Chair as follows: Mike Fedorenko   Email: maf944s2@gmail.com

If you have found yourself curious, but don’t want to commit to the full DE, this is a nice way to get your feet wet.  It is Saturday only and includes the same classes as our Group 1 students along two 20 minutes sessions on the track – both with your instructor, one session riding in their car and one driving your own car.  Helmets not required as you will not exceed highway speeds.  As with regular paid registration, DEX includes an exclusive, special edition event t-shirt.  All of this for only $100!  The memories are priceless.
