What is eDE?

PCA Sim Racing’s “e Driver Education” program (eDE) is modeled after the popular PCA HPDE program, where experienced instructors train drivers in classroom sessions and on real sports car tracks. Our eDE program functions the same way, only in the virtual world.

For drivers new to sim racing, and more experienced sim racers who want to join PCA Sim Racing, we have a complete program to get you started.

2024 Summer Tour Recap

By Jeff Williams, Rocky Mountain Region

Back home after the Summer Tour. Unloading the trailer; finding a disturbing quantity of broken and bent parts. Hmm… 105 drivers competed in one or more of the 20 races held at 17 tracks all over the world. Four classes of drivers. Four classes of cars. All on track together in some great fun multi-class racing.

With only the best 5 finishes in each car class counted towards the championships, drivers had flexibility during the busy summer months to pick the races to run. Kudos to the

Good PCA Sim Racing Etiquette

By Mike Nyden, Sonnenschein Region PCA
Updated by Jeff Williams, Rocky Mountain Region PCA

Be pleasant to other drivers

Nobody is trying to do badly, most drivers are probably doing the best they can, and they’re probably just as excited as you are about racing. By saying “No problem, buddy!” shows more about you than the guy who tapped your car.

We have a very eclectic group

We have sim racers who have handled performance sports cars at high speed in HPDE events but have minimal or zero experience in wheel-to-wheel racing.

We have some drivers who have gone wheel-to-wheel for a very long
