2026 PCA Summer TourIntroduction

Welcome to the 2026 PCA Sim Racing Summer Tour. There will be weekly races on Wednesday evenings, June 24 through August 19. The races will be multi-car class and multi-driver class. We will be visiting a selection of PCA Club Racing and European GT World Challenge tracks, many immediately before the real-life race dates.

All Main League (Pro, Club, Sport, Challenge) drivers may participate. Grid Pass is NOT required.

Cars

  • Porsche 911 GT3R (992)
  • Porsche 911 Cup (992.2)
  • Porsche 911 RSR

Settings

  • Open setups for all driver classes.
  • One fast repair for all classes.
  • Drive any car in any race.
  • No requirement to pick one car for the series.

Championships

There are four championships to compete for:

  • Car class
  • Driver class
  • Zone Group
  • Hat Trick

For the Car, Driver, and Zone Group Championships, only your best three (3) finishes in each car class are counted towards the championships, giving a lot of flexibility in which races to run. For the Hat Trick Championship, your two (2) best finishes in each car are counted. So, this summer, when you’re not enjoying your real Porsche or sipping a cold beverage on the beach, come join your friends on the grid!
