Porsche navigating autocross course

Autocross

Your Gateway to Motorsports

Low cost, low risk, high fun. Navigate a cone course against the clock and learn what your Porsche can really do.

The Basics

What is Autocross?

Autocross is a timed competition where drivers navigate a course defined by traffic cones, one car at a time.

Think of it as a giant driving skills test. The courses are technical, requiring precision and car control rather than raw speed. You'll learn more about your car's handling in one autocross event than months of street driving.

Because only one car is on course at a time and speeds are low, autocross is incredibly safe. It's the perfect entry point into motorsports.

Why Autocross?

Affordable

At $50-75 per event, autocross is the most economical way to drive your Porsche competitively.

Low Risk

Speeds rarely exceed 45 mph. If you hit a cone, you just get a time penalty. No walls, no barriers.

Half-Day Events

Most events run from morning to early afternoon, leaving your weekend free.

Competitive

Compete against others in your class and track your improvement throughout the season.

What do I need to participate?

A Porsche in safe mechanical condition, a valid driver's license, and a helmet (loaners available). That's it!

Will autocross damage my car?

Autocross is very low risk. The only thing you might hit is a rubber cone, and speeds are kept low. Many members autocross their daily drivers.

How do I get started?

Register for an event on MotorsportReg, show up with your car and helmet, and we'll walk you through everything. Novice instruction is included.

How is it scored?

You get multiple timed runs through the course. Your best time is your score, with 2-second penalties for each cone hit.
