Driving Events

Upcoming DRIVING Events

Drives and Tours are group driving events on public roads
in a social, non-competitive environment

We organize and offer more than 75 driving events per year for our valued members:

Midweek Drives: sporty and casual, 2-3 groups of 12 cars each, 60-120 miles, 2-3 hours driving time
Saturday Drives: sporty and casual, 2-3 groups of 12 cars each, 60-120 miles, 2-3 hours driving time
Sunday Drives: casual and easy going, 2-3 groups of 12 cars each, 60-120 miles, 2-3 hours driving time

Model Specific Drives: restricted for specific models or generations like aircooled, Boxsters, GT cars, …, sporty and casual, 2-3 groups of 12 cars each, 60-120 miles, 2-3 hours driving time
Special Drives: Summer Eve Drives, Valentines, Oktoberfest, …, sporty and casual, 2-3 groups of 12 cars each, 60-100 miles, ~2 hours driving time

Multi Day Tours: explore Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Northern California, 3-5 days, 500 – 1200 miles

In addition there are also Drives and Tours you can attend as a PCA member, organized by

our neighboring Regions like Pacific Northwest, Cascade, High Dessert
PCA including Treffens and Porsche Parade, the yearly PCA convention.

A Drive / Tour drive group is typically 12-15 cars. Participants usually have a navigator with them, thus allowing the driver to focus on driving. But we also provide support for the digital navigation app RidewithGPS for all driving events.

Since Drive and Tours take place on public roads, the prevailing traffic laws must be obeyed. That still leaves plenty of room for fun and safe driving on the spectacular twisty roads you’ll find on nearly every Tour. And even at normal speeds, it’s quite a rush to be in the middle of a pack of gleaming Porsches snaking their way through forests, along waterways and over scenic mountain passes.

Our drives also have an important social aspect. The casual atmosphere at meet-up, during rest stops and after the event at lunch or dinner lends itself to relaxed conversations with your fellow club members.

A Tour isn’t considered complete unless it involves at least one and sometimes several opportunities for snacking, breakfasting, brunching, lunching, picnicking, or fine dining with wine tasting.

Our great state offers an incredible variety of driving and sightseeing experiences. Our drives and tours cover the beaches of the west, the forests of the Coastal Range, the farmlands of the Willamette Valley, the towering Cascades, the wine country and the high plains of eastern Oregon and Washington.

Our multi-day tours extend to our neighboring states Washington, Idaho, Montana, British Columbia and California.

Drive and Tour planners put together spectacular routes covering sweeping highways, scenic byways, the curviest secondary roads and forest service roads available. No matter how many miles you’ve logged in this state you’re sure to be amazed and thrilled by our tour routes.

Watch the weekly member email and the club events calendar and sign up early!
